Purpose, evidence and practical considerations.
Specific amounts and schedules belong to the individual routine or product instructions.
Warm bathing may be comfortable, but the inspected source does not establish a recovery benefit from a particular hot-pool sequence. Hot-tub hygiene matters because inhaled contaminated mist can transmit Legionella.
