When soaking in hot springs, minerals in hot springs will promote blood circulation and accelerate metabolism through the skin of the body. When the minerals of the hot spring itself penetrate into the skin of the body through the epidermis, its chemicals can stimulate the autonomic nervous system, endocrine system and immune system. Therefore, soaking in hot springs can not only drive away the cold and strengthen the body, but also be beneficial to the treatment of some diseases.
