Could a warm bath be the key to taming high blood pressure?

This study tested if a simple, at-home therapy—soaking the lower legs in warm water—could help control high blood pressure in older women when used alongside a standard blood pressure pill. Researchers enrolled 134 women aged 60-85 and compared those who did warm water soaks to a control group using lukewarm water, all while taking the same medication. The goal was to see if the heat therapy improved blood pressure control and the health of blood vessels and nerves.
