Wellness and Health Benefits of a Hot Tub
Wellness is Being at One with Yourself and the World
The steps to Health and Wellness have never been so easy or
so much fun! No need to go to beauty salons and exclusive spa retreats.
Wellness can be found right in your own backyard and it can be fun,
entertaining, and… relaxing. Your Bullfrog Spa®
brings wellness to your home where you can enjoy it at the time that
is most convenient for you. Spas help to prevent illness, relieve
harmful stress, and help you to live life in a healthy way. A Bullfrog
Spa will add years to your life by strengthening your heart and reducing
your stress, allowing you to enjoy life and take time for those
people that matter most.
Improve Every-Day Life with Hot Water
Make your life easier with hot water therapy. You really can
reduce swelling, manage pain, heal faster, sleep better, and feel
happier. After exercising, immersion in hot water reduces soreness by
40 percent according to Men’s Health Magazine.* Immersing your body in a
hot tub actually decreases swelling by the pressure that the water
exerts on our bodies. You can improve your joint health and relieve
pain as water immersion lessens the impact of gravity on those painful
joints. We feel lighter in water and that feeling can be very
liberating and relaxing. When recovery exercise is combined with water,
patients experience an increased range of motion and decreased levels
of pain.** Start enjoying the wellness benefits of
hot water therapy in your very own Bullfrog Spa.

 The
Safe and Natural Way to Better, Deeper Sleep
Your Bullfrog Spa will help you to sleep at night. A hot tub can
solve some of the causes of insomnia like stress,
anxiety, and muscle tension. A scientific study showed that people that
immerse themselves in warm water before bed, as you can do in your hot
tub, fall asleep more easily.* Take advantage of sleeping more soundly
by taking time for yourself in the only spa with massaging JetPaks.

Care for Your Heart
Healthy living, including exercise and soaking in your spa, improves the strength of
your heart. Our heart stretches when immersed in water just as it does
during exercise. The pressure of the water helps to push blood toward
the chest cavity and increases blood flow by about 33%. Arteries and
veins dilate (expand) to carry more blood. Besides strengthening your
heart, this increase in blood flow helps you to recover faster from
muscle fatigue or injury. Take care of your most important muscle with
hot water in your Bullfrog Spa.*
*Consult a physician before using a spa if you have
heart trouble.
 Stay Mentally Strong
Deal with the stress of life in a healthy and natural way in
your Bullfrog Spa. Scientific evidence shows that immersing yourself
in hot-water can naturally reduce the harmful effects of
stress and help to improve mental health.* Separate yourself from
the sources of your stress by escaping for a peaceful soak and massage
in your Bullfrog Spa. Reduce anxiety by taking time out to breathe
deeply and to refocus as the tension in your neck and back is smoothed
away. As you relax in your Bullfrog Spa, an energizing effect will
build from within and you will better be able to face the challenges of
the day.

Arthritis
Arthritis affects more than 70 million
people in the USA alone. The Arthritis
Foundation recommends warm water exercise to “keep joints moving,
restore and preserve flexibility and strength” which “protects joints
against further damage.” Also, “it improves your coordination,
endurance and your ability to perform daily tasks (such as walking or
writing).” The Arthritis Foundation endorses warm water hydrotherapy to
such a degree that they provide a useful
guide for purchasing a spa. With a Bullfrog Spa you will find many
useful JetPaks massages that will help you to specifically target your
sore and stiff areas.
Diabetes
An article published by the New England Journal of Medicine led
by Dr. Philip L. Hooper at the McKee Medical Center in Loveland,
Colorado found that immersing yourself in a hot tub helped improve
blood sugar readings, improved sleep, and benefitted general well being
in a group of patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
