Having a Hot Tub gives one many benefits and these have been known to man since time Immemorial. For many thousands of years that magical liquid water has been a great relief for many of the ailments that the fabric of life brings to us mortals. In Times long ago in Egypt, Rome, Greece & Spain it was a very normal practice to enjoy long hot soaks, not only was it considered to be a ritual but much more than that it was regarded as a health cure known to bring relief from the aches, pains and stress of life.
The word Spa comes from the famous celebrated Belgian health resort, which has a natural Hot Spring and SPA is said by some to be short for "solus par aqua," and as Solus stands for Health and par for and aqua water then we seem to get in the English language "health through water." In ancient times, there were small water pools, which had warm water piped to them from natural hot springs. We still have those today but these often smell of sulphur and are not always pleasant. The belief sometimes expressed but which I do not accept is that it is only natural hot springs that have any beneficial healing effect as the chemicals in these pools are supposed to have magical cures, but it is in fact simply just the warm water that does the trick! A modern Hot Tub Spa with the latest fully adjustable water and air jets is in my view much superior to a natural hot spring.
A Modern Hot Tub does not have that thousand-year-old setting but it is undoubtedly wonderful therapy, and the water is better for your skin. As soon as one is immersed in a Hot Tub and as you begin to enjoy the warm spa water, it causes two very beneficial physiological events to take place in your body.
Firstly of these, which is a scientific fact, is that it makes the capillaries in the body to increase thereby providing an increased blood flow to through your body and of course to your skin. Naturally, an increased blood flow blood means better circulation and of course with goes the life force that makes up the Human Body with the nutrients that we need to maintain life.
Secondly, it slightly increases your heart rate, which adds to the increased blood flow throughout your whole body. As we are made up mainly by water something like in excess of 90% is water, the fluids in our bodies are neutral (or nearly neutral) in weight. Our fluids then identify with the water in the spa (natural buoyancy) which means that the pressure of gravity on our circulatory system is reduced. This has the effect of making the distance between your heart and your feet much less. Although in truth, of course, this is not the case.
The blood that the Chinese medicine doctor's call stagnant (really slow) is now able to move much more freely and it does so because of open capillaries (heat), and buoyancy (water).
There is one very important thing that one should do to get the full benefit and that is to let go and just relax. Then the very beneficial benefits of Hydrotherapy and Hydro massage help to provide respite and healing. Simply the blood flow is now in your body and not in your head, and your mind can start to relax and slow down and relax and be in a much more peaceful state.
Probably the prime reason is that the property is much more marketable and in demand much more than those similar properties with out a hot Tub. This may well achieve a far higher occupancy compared to those properties that do not have a Hot Tub Jacuzzi.
Then of course there is the distinct possibility that a higher rental income may be achieved due to the attractiveness of offering a Hot Tub.
So now we have increased demand and marketability combined with the possibility of a higher rental. That sounds like an outstandng winning competition to me.
Every body when marketing the rental of a holiday home in spain always refer to the availability of a Hot Tub Jacuzzi spa. I get the impression that this is an important marketing featre and as such it is a must have option.
The general public as a whole and in particular holiday makers are becoming much more demanding and have a much higher increased level of expectation than that compared with say five years ago.
Well what is it about the Hot Tub Jacuzzi style spa that makes it so attractive to the consumer and in this case the potential Holiday Maker renting his holiday accommodation.
Well it all starts with what is in the Hot Tub that good old stuff H2O or in more simple terms water. That amazing resource. With out it none of us could survive on our home planet the Earth. A liquid that we can drink and sustain life but is a fluid capable of being solid when frozen. This amazing fluid when warm is often used in physiotherapy to help recovery from injuries and to relieve muscle stiffness and aches by assisting in the reduction of lactic acid. Warm water helps to open the blood vessels to naturally assist and increase blood circulation round the body. The increased circulation helps to bring nutrients and thereby helps the tissue and muscle groups around arthritic joints relax, and promotes the flow of endorphins in the body.
Treatment by massage to the hands and feet is known as Reflexology and this is based on the fact that there are reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to various parts of the body. The massaging effect of the warm water helps to apply gentle pressure to the feet and hands increasing circulation and providing respite to specific joint and muscular functions.
Modern day Hot Tubs using the this system of flow of water from a variety of massage Jets combined with air and warm water produces a nice Jet or stream of warm water that massages the body and limbs that in many ways reproduces the ancient practice of water massage therapy for the 21st Century.
Now you know why it is such a good idea to invest in a Hot Tub for a rented property and of course the owner can get to use it too when the property it is not rented out.
