Hot or cold shower for high blood pressure? Research studie point to hot/warm water having a positive influence on reducing the the rigidity of the arterial wall (arterial stiffness) and therefore alleviating impact on hypertension. This was a 2012 study that explored the impact of warm water immersion on arterial stiffness, which occurs when the arteries within the body become less flexible. Arterial stiffness plays a major role in the cardiovascular condition atherosclerosis, which can lead to high blood pressure. The study found that participants who submerged their feet and lower legs in warm water for 30 minutes showed reduced arterial stiffness. Participants who did not receive warm water immersion did not show this effect.
