When our mood takes a dive, certain ailments start re-emerging. We could let it get us down, but there is a natural remedy that can help - heat.

HEAT FOR RELIEVING PRESSURE AND ENJOYING REAL MOMENTS OF COMPLETE RELAXATION

There is nothing like indulging in your favourite activity in the warmth to forget the stress of the day and relax. For example, have a hot bath or shower.
At up to 39 degrees, a hot shower cocoons you in a feeling of inner warmth. The stress washes away, and you are left with a moment just for you, to take a breath and enjoy the feeling of well-being caused by the release of endorphins that comes from the heat.
