I know what you're thinking. Molly, are you seriously about to write an article about hot showers? Yes. The answer to that question is yes.

A nice hot shower is never something that is prescribed to you by a doctor, or a therapist, and it is rarely thought of as a solution to all your problems. It goes unnoticed and unrecognized when in reality it is often the equivalent of talking it out or taking medicine. It is important to remember all the benefits of taking a shower that almost always are forgotten. Yes, they are something that you do (or at least should be doing) on a regular basic, but they're also the #1 problem solver to all issues. At times we have to remember that taking a shower might be the solution to all of your issues. Don't just take them because you have to, start taking them because you want to. Incase you haven't used a shower as your go to medicine recently, here is a reminder of just what exactly a shower can solve.
