CAUTION!
CAUTION: Each persons body and circulatory system has different
tolerances and responds differently to warm/hot water immersion.
Most people in good health find a water temperature of about 102ºF to
be satisfying and limit time in water at this temperature to 20-30
minutes. Use of alcoholic beverages and certain medications may
affect the way your body's system reacts to warm water/hot
immersion.
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.
