What are the hazards of bathing in a wooden tub

To maintain good health, we must not only eat healthy but also develop good living habits. Good living habits start from many little things in life. Some things that seem small and have no significant impact may cause symptoms of physical illness if you don't pay attention to them. So be careful. So what are the dangers of bathing in a wooden tub? Let us introduce it in detail below.

Healthy people can immerse their whole body in water when taking a bath. The displacement of water by the body will make the weight lighter, relieve muscle tension, relax the body and mind, and improve sleep.

Be careful about taking a bath after drinking

Having a little wine and taking a hot bath sounds wonderful. In fact, this can easily lead to cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular experts believe that after drinking alcohol, the glucose stored in the body will be consumed in large quantities when taking a bath due to the accelerated blood circulation, causing the body temperature to drop rapidly. At the same time, alcohol inhibits the normal physiological activity of the liver, hinders the recovery of glucose storage in the body, easily leads to shock, and in severe cases can be fatal. Therefore, Dr. Wang also reminds everyone that it is best not to take a shower immediately after drinking. "Some people mistakenly believe that taking a hot bath can sober up, but in fact this will only aggravate heart ischemia." If you experience "bathhouse syndrome" such as dizziness, chest tightness, and blurred vision while taking a bath, you should stop bathing immediately and go to the hospital for treatment.

Take a bath to prevent heat stroke

Heatstroke is a disease characterized by dysfunction of the temperature regulation center and water and electrolyte disorders caused by high temperature.

Many people think that heatstroke only occurs when exposed to the sun in the summer, but in fact it can also happen when taking a bath in the winter.

It’s cold in winter and many people like to take a bath. In a public bathroom, taking a bath for too long can cause chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and even fainting. This is the same principle as heatstroke. The bathroom doors and windows are closed, and the indoor humidity is higher than that outside. At first, the human body feels comfortable and the muscles are relaxed. If you stay in such a state for a long time, the skin capillaries will expand, a large amount of blood will flow to the body surface, the return blood flow to the heart is insufficient, and the heart's blood output is reduced, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the body's organs. Fainting and other accidents may occur.

If you want to bathe in a bathing pool, it is best to bathe in a warm pool first and then transition to a hot pool. Enter the water slowly, starting with the lower limbs and progressing gradually. Do not take a bath immediately after a meal; make sure to ventilate the bathroom; do not take a bath during menstruation, pregnancy, when hungry, or after drinking; eat properly within 30 minutes after taking a bath.

In case of heatstroke from taking a bath, the patient should be transferred to a ventilated and cool place and given oral saline solution. For those with hypertension or coronary heart disease, if they feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, they can press the Ren Zhong point, take quick-acting heart-saving pills, and seek medical attention immediately. Adding some "ingredients" can help relieve fatigue and beautify the skin

The dangers of bathing in a wooden tub are as introduced above. If these bad living habits are not corrected in time, the body may be greatly affected. In addition, special attention should be paid to other aspects. Once symptoms of illness appear in the body, effective treatment and control should be carried out in a timely manner to prevent the disease from getting worse.
