Did you know that to manage stress, medical students from many universities are required to take meditation classes? Moments of relaxation in the comfort of a spa produce physiological effects comparable to these meditative sessions: the mere fact of soaking in hot water can help manage stress, and even improve cognitive performance.

Spending time in a spa influences brain functions, generating physiological effects comparable to those brought on by meditation. This is what a study published in the International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education suggests1. It reports that a 20-minute immersion in hot water causes the autonomic nervous system to adjust, just as meditation does. This reaction promotes short-term memory, increases attention span, and improves brain functions that allow for the proper processing of information.

The mere fact of being immersed in a spa could influence the sympathovagal balance of the body. In short, this activity leads to a decrease in anxiety and stress, and generates positive ideas while lowering blood pressure and cardiac stress.
