Hot baths can lead to increased flow of blood in all tissues of the body. Especially the tissues typically more poorly perfused by blood like nerve, joint and skin. This, in turn, can cause increased bacterial die-off and immunopathology due to better perfusion in all tissues of the VDR agonist, olmesartan. | Hot baths can lead to increased flow of blood in all tissues of the body.
