How long is the best time to soak in a hot spring

Many people like to soak in hot springs because they feel that soaking in hot springs can relax the body and mind, and the water temperature of hot springs can make the body relax to the fullest, so soaking in hot springs frequently is very beneficial to people's health. However, nothing should be done to extremes, and you should not soak in a hot spring for too long, as this can easily cause skin diseases. So how long is the best time to soak in a hot spring?

In fact, it is not suitable to soak in hot springs for too long. First of all, we must be clear that temperature and time are inversely proportional. If the water temperature is too high, soak for 5-10 minutes at a time. If the water temperature is relatively low, soak for 20-30 minutes. It is not advisable to soak in hot springs too frequently every day, preferably not more than 3 times. If you soak in the bath water too many times, you may get tired easily, which is bad for your health.

Also, do not allow any substances from the hot spring to get on your skin. Because when you encounter a hot spring with a high concentration of sulfur or alkaline ingredients, if you don't rinse thoroughly after soaking, the concentration of these substances remaining on the skin will increase tenfold, causing greater irritation to the skin. Although the sulfur and acidic and alkaline substances in hot springs can have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, if there are wounds on the skin, it will irritate the wound and aggravate the condition. Severe patients may develop "hot spring dermatitis."

What should I pay attention to when entering a hot spring?

When entering the hot spring, you can first pour a small amount of water on your body to allow your body to adapt to the water temperature before soaking in the bath. This can avoid dizziness caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure. Also, don't jump into the hot spring all at once to avoid choking.

Do not do strenuous exercise before taking a hot spring bath, because exercise will increase your heart rate and blood flow. If you take a hot spring bath at this time, it will be more harmful to your health. So after exercise, you can rest for 10-20 minutes before taking a hot spring bath.
