Taboos and precautions for hot spring bathing in winter

Winter is here, and more and more people go to hot springs. It is indeed very comfortable to soak in a hot spring on a cold day, but many people experience itchy skin after soaking in hot springs, which is commonly known as "hot spring disease". This is mainly caused by not paying attention to the precautions for hot springs. So, what should we pay attention to when soaking in hot springs in winter?

Who should not take a hot spring bath?

1. Women who are menstruating or have gynecological inflammation should also try to avoid taking hot springs.

2. People with skin, respiratory and other infectious diseases should not take a hot spring bath, as it will be harmful to themselves and will also affect others.

3. People with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or high blood pressure often experience dizziness, palpitations, breath holding and even fainting when taking a hot spring bath. This is because the high-temperature hot spring water causes the blood vessels in the skin to expand significantly, and more blood stays in the skin and muscle blood vessels, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart or brain. If such people take a hot spring bath, they should be careful not to make the water temperature too high. If you experience symptoms such as chest tightness, dizziness, or palpitations, you should leave the hot spring pool immediately. It is best for the elderly to have a health check-up first and then take a hot spring bath if their physical condition allows.

4. People who have drunk alcohol, are on an empty stomach, or have just eaten a full meal should not take a hot spring bath, because once the temperature of the hot spring water rises, the blood circulation of the human body will accelerate, the heartbeat will accelerate, the blood pressure will rise, and people will feel anxious and sweat.

1. Understand the temperature

Rinse your body before taking a hot spring bath: Be sure to clean your body before taking a hot spring bath, understand the temperature of each hot spring, and avoid burns.

2. Enter the pool in an orderly manner

When soaking in a hot spring, you should start with a low temperature and then gradually soak in higher temperatures once your body has adapted. Each bathing time should not exceed 15 minutes to avoid symptoms such as chest tightness, thirst, and dizziness.

3. Rehydrate in time

While bathing, try to drink plenty of boiled water to replenish the water lost through sweating.

4. Apply a facial mask

Because the water temperature of hot springs is too high, the pores on the face will enlarge after soaking for a period of time. It is best for female friends to apply a facial mask or a cold towel on the face before soaking in the hot spring. It is best to close your eyes and coordinate with the body to take slow, deep breaths. This can more effectively relieve fatigue and relieve physical and mental stress.

5. Alternating hot and cold for better results

Adopting the method of alternating hot and cold, also known as the Korean sauna-style bathing method, can not only effectively promote blood circulation, but also enhance physical strength.

6Different pools use different methods

When taking a half-body bath, it is best to soak the body below the internal organs. This can not only adjust the body temperature, but also effectively balance the endocrine system. When choosing a waterfall bath, try to avoid direct impact of water pressure on the body. It is best to use an oblique angle to slow down the water pressure. If you apply a towel to the impacted area, the effect of treating back pain will be better.

1. Dry your body

Pay attention to keeping warm after soaking in the hot spring. When you walk out of the hot spring, quickly dry your whole body with a dry towel, especially the armpits, crotch, and around the navel, and then apply moisturizer all over your body, which will better lock in the moisture of the skin.

2. Rehydrate in time
