In the third stage, the body is returned to its normal thermoregulation point by various means. The body has various reactions and discomfort will appear in the second and third stage, in the second stage at this time the whole body tissues and organs are working together to reach that new body temperature adjustment point, at this time if a hot bath, as long as the water temperature mastery enough can be, is to help the completion of the second stage of the goal, is no problem at all.
