Heat is a hormetic stress.
๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐
Not all stress is bad. Some stress teaches the body to become more resilient.
This is called hormesis.
Sauna, hot baths and controlled heat exposure can act like a tiny โtraining sessionโ for your cardiovascular and stress-response systems.

The key word is controlled.
Too much = burden.
The right dose = adaptation.
This is why anti-inflammatory living is not about avoiding all stress.
Itโs about choosing the right stress, in the right dose, with enough recovery.
A hot bath can be more than comfort.
It can be a signal: adapt, circulate, recover.
Do you prefer sauna, hot bath or warm shower rituals? ๐
