If the desired goal is to increase circulation to an area where it may be restricted, you may want to alternate between hot and cold baths. The typical protocol for people is 3 minutes hot and 1 minute cold. If you want your herbal blend to soak deeply into the skin, you may want to use hot water, since heat will tend to dilate the pores and enhance the penetration. All rights reserved.
