hot showers

Hot showers involve water heated to a comfortable temperature, usually between 90°F and 110°F, directed over the body to clean and relax muscles. The warmth helps open pores, removing dirt and oils while promoting blood flow. Heat can also soothe tensions, reduce stiffness, and provide comfort. The water temperature is usually controlled by a thermostat in the water heater and shower fixture. Hot showers can improve hygiene and provide a calming experience, but prolonged exposure to very hot water may dry skin or cause discomfort; moderation is key for health and comfort.
