hot bath

Warm water immersion

A hot bath is a bath taken in heated water, typically for relaxation or therapeutic purposes rather than purely for cleaning.

The warmth soothes sore muscles and promotes calm: Nothing beats a hot bath after a long day.

Hot baths are associated with self-care rituals and unwinding before sleep.
