What should you pay attention to when soaking in hot springs?

1. Hygiene issues:

Whether the pool water is disinfected regularly and whether the sanitary ware used is clean and hygienic are very important. Many small hot spring hotels do a very poor job of disinfecting their pools. So please try to choose a regular hot spring hotel of a certain scale. Even so, during the peak season, many private hot spring hotels are likely to be hasty in cleaning the hot spring pools.

2. Unsuitable groups

People with diabetes, liver disease, hypertension, heart disease, and vascular disease should only take a hot spring bath when their condition is under stable control and there is someone to take care of them. . If you suffer from severe eczema, dermatitis or ulcerated skin wounds, bathing in hot springs will not only pollute the water quality, but also worsen the wounds, so it is not suitable to bathe in hot springs.

3. Pay attention to replenishing water

Pay attention to replenishing water, and "get out of the bath" in time if you feel uncomfortable. Under high temperatures, human body metabolism accelerates and water consumption increases. When soaking in hot springs, you may wish to prepare a cup of water or light salt water and replenish it in small sips. If you experience dizziness, chest tightness or other discomfort, you should leave the pool immediately. After soaking in hot springs, shower with clean warm water and keep warm.

The following is the correct way to soak in a hot spring:

The first step is to test the pool temperature. First use your hands or feet to check whether the temperature of the spring water is suitable. Never jump into the hot spring swimming pool all at once;

The second step is to warm it first and then heat it up. There are swimming pools with different temperatures in the hot spring area. Soaking from low-temperature springs to high-temperature springs should be done step by step and gradually adapt to the temperature of the spring water;

The third step is to master the time. Generally, hot spring baths can be soaked repeatedly in batches, each time for 20 to 30 minutes. If you feel dry mouth or chest tightness, take a break by the pool, do stretching exercises, and drink some distilled water to replenish water. Some people like to soak their whole body until it turns red, but they should pay attention to whether there will be accelerated heartbeat and difficulty breathing;

The fourth step is to cooperate with massage. Proper acupoint massage will enhance the health care effect of hot springs and have obvious therapeutic effect on some diseases;

The fifth step, pay attention to flushing the body. Use as little shampoo or body wash as possible, just rinse yourself with water.

In addition, there are some misunderstandings that everyone needs to pay attention to:

Myth 1: Go to hot springs on an empty stomach. When you are hungry, you cannot go to hot springs immediately because you have an empty stomach. It is easy to feel dizzy, want to vomit and feel tired when soaking in hot springs.

Myth 2: Dragging a half-dead body to the hot spring. If you have been in a car for a long time or walked a long way and are very tired, you cannot go to the hot spring immediately, otherwise you will become more tired as you soak.

Myth 3: Staying up late to soak in hot springs. If you don’t get enough sleep or stay up late, you may suffer from shock or cerebral ischemia if you suddenly soak in a very hot hot spring.

Myth 4: Enter the oven immediately after soaking in the hot spring. The temperature of the oven is very high. If you enter the oven immediately after soaking in the hot spring, the tears will be evaporated quickly, the eyes will lose the function of removing dirt, and bacteria will easily breed. At the same time, the sulfur and minerals in the spring may adhere to the surface of the eyeball, causing corneal rupture and inflammation.
