Unwind and relax with a wood burning stove
With so many log fireplace relaxation videos to choose from on YouTube, it’s clear that a lot of people share the view that nothing is more relaxing than a real fire. And it’s true. Not only is watching a fire calming, but building and stoking your small stove can help you unwind too. But how? Well, research has suggested that this is related to blood pressure.
How can wood burning stoves help you unwind and relax?
Scientists have proved that the longer people sit in front of a roaring fire, the greater the relaxing effect it has on them. This is because watching the fire actually reduces blood pressure. In fact, brain scans showed that even when the flames and noise of a small stove or fireplace are simulated in a laboratory they reduce blood pressure.
The evolution of a species
As a species, fire is something that would have been crucial to the first humans. And this prehistoric connection to fire, and all it symbolizes (light, heat, food and shelter) still has a calming effect on the humans of today, thanks to evolution.
