The Solution to the Rising Anxiety Epidemic May be in the Water

PERTH, Australia, Sept. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 40 million adults in the US and 300 million people worldwide suffer from some type of anxiety. Don't be fooled by the large pharmaceutical companies pushing their drugs as the only solution to this rising epidemic, says one Perth therapeutic spa expert.

Steve Adley, a 30-year veteran in the pool and spa industry says there are home remedies people who are suffering can take, which may help relieve their anxiety symptoms as well as other mental and physical health conditions.

"Countries like Japan, Iceland and Turkey have long known about the healing benefits of relaxing in hot thermal springs for both the mind and body," Mr Adley said.

"Studies by respected health organizations like The Mayo Clinic (1), The New England Journal of Medicine(2) and the International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education (3), have confirmed these benefits but as a society, we still look to the medical profession first."

"The rise of mental health issues in the western world especially in teenagers and children and the increasing reliance of pharmaceutical drugs to combat this is alarming."

He said we must take an overall holistic approach to help these people who are suffering daily. Studies like the ones mentioned showed beneficial results by spending time immersed in warm water like the natural thermal springs.

The combined effects of the muscle relaxing properties from warm water and the increased pressure on the body from being immersed led to results showing decreased anxiety and stress levels, decreased blood pressure, increased cardiac activity, relief for arthritis sufferers and may help lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics, among many other positive health benefits.

When you consider all of these benefits to the mind and body from simply spending some time relaxing in warm water, you must wonder why leading countries like the US, Canada and Australia don't promote this more freely.

He said as someone that has supplied and manufactured therapeutic spas for 30 years, he has observed firsthand and had feedback from multitudes of customers as to their increased health and overall wellness due to regular usage of their spas.

"People who were long time anxiety sufferers and lead highly stressful lives would come back and tell me what a difference their spas have made. The ability to come home after a long day and really relax in the warm water while the massaging jets loosened their muscles was the key."

"Just like these other countries residents have been doing for hundreds of years, we can now do as well. But in the privacy of our own homes."

"Now with the advancements in modern technology, spas can be personalized to incorporate lighting, colors and music connectivity to suit the owner's requirements.," Mr Adley said.

The biggest reason to get professional advice before you purchase a spa?

"While there are many options online to make your purchase, you really do need to visit a display center so you can see and feel the spas first. Everyone has different reasons for making a purchase and desirable results. We take mental health seriously and advise our clients on the most suitable spa models for them" he says.

Which is why when you are ready to purchase a spa, you should talk to an expert first.
