Why does a hot shower make you feel better.

    Just wondering, come down with a horrible cold, feel like exrement. Woke up this morning as usual feeling crap then though a nice hot shower with heaps of soap would be great. 10 mins later, I still got the cold but feeling a thousand times better. For some reason showers seem to make us feel better in the morning or perhaps any other time.
    Any thoughts on why this is so.?

    There comes a point in your life when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will.

    I remember researching this topic - only I was pondering why it was people have a higher tendency to sing while showering. Turns out it makes you feel better because of all the negative ions generated by the shower and inhaled/ingested by its occupant. IIRC negative ions boost blood and brain oxygenation and gives a little high as a consequence. Links to be added soon.
