What can be better than taking a warm water bath after a tiring day! When you feel low on energy, taking a hot water bath helps to provide instant energy and remove all the tiredness from the mind and body. 

A hot shower improves blood circulation, which ultimately provides good oxygen levels to the different parts of the body. As a result, it relieves spasms and removes muscle tension. It also helps reduce body ache and relaxes the body. Above all, it helps to provide sound sleep at night, which is also responsible for maintaining good energy levels. 

5. Overcome mental exhaustion

Mental tiredness can make you feel physically exhausted. It is essential to bring your attention to it and make changes to feel better mentally.

Before doing any of these, make sure to consult an Ayurvedic doctor near you for better diagnosis and treatment. These tips will only help you if you feel less energy due to work pressure or excessive gadget use. In case of any medical issue, it is always better to consult a physician.
