Essential Tips For Soaking In The Hot Springs In China
Is there really anything better than soaking in the hot springs and totally unwind in a cold winter day?
The water issuing from a hot spring is heated by hot rocks inside the Earth's crust. It is usually rich in minerals like carbonate, calcium, sulfur, vitriol, chloride, etc, so it has some therapeutic effects on various diseases such as skin diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and anemia.
Here are some common tips of taking a bath in a hot spring. The actual rules may differ slighly between baths, but if you follow the instructions below, you should be alright most of the time.
01
Showering beforehand dilates the pores and prevents obstruction, and multiplies the skin’s absorption of the water’s effects.
在泡温泉之前先冲个热水澡有助于打开毛孔，能够促进皮肤对温泉效果的吸收作用。
02
Bathing in hot springs requires a lot of energy and rapid depletion of water. Remember to replenish hydration prior to entering the water to maintain your body’s hydration balance.
泡温泉会消耗大量的能量以及造成大量水分流失。记住一定要在泡之前补充大量水分来保持你身体内的水平衡
03
The best water temperature is 38℃~42℃. Do not exceed 45℃. Rest is recommended after bathing for 15 minutes. On average, do not bathe for more than 30 minutes for risk of overburdening the heart. Bathing in hot springs should be limited to 3 times a day; For the hot spring to thoroughly display its effects, bathe for 5~15 minutes and rest before bathing again.
一般温泉的温度都在38℃~42℃，最好不要超过45℃，略高于体温，所以建议浸泡时间在10-15分钟。一般来说，每天不要超过3次，每次不要浸泡超过30分钟，以免加重心脏负荷。为了让温泉的效果达到最佳，建议泡个5-15分钟后休息一会再泡一次。
04
Using your chest as a basis, bathing above the chest is considered a full-body bath and bathing below the chest is considered a partial-bath. Partial bath is suitable for elderly people and children as it is safe and healthy. Full-body bath is suitable for reinvigorating the body but should be kept to a shorter period of time.
泡温泉有两种方式，以胸部为基准，泡到胸部以上的称为全身浸泡，泉水在胸部以下的称为部分浸泡。部分浸泡一般来说比较适合老年人和小孩子，因为比较安全。全身浸泡能使整个身体得到放松，但是不能泡得太久。
05
Should you feel any discomfort during bathing, such as: heart palpitations, dizziness or other symptoms, slowly rise and step out of the water to rest.
一旦你在泡澡的过程中感觉到任何不适，如：心悸，头晕等其他症状，要缓慢的起身走出温泉休息。
06
Constantly wipe away sweat: When bathing, try to wipe away any sweat. After bathing, make sure to wipe all the excess water away to prevent catching a cold.
擦掉身上的汗水：当你泡温泉的时候，尽量擦干每一滴流出的汗水，因为这个时候身体只能通过流汗散热，流汗不擦的话可能导致毛孔堵塞；泡完澡之后，毛孔全部张开，这个时候会大量流汗，要及时擦拭汗水，以免感冒。
07
Bathing in hot springs for extended periods of times and the more times the better is actually a misconception. Improper bathing times or overly high water temperatures will cause a dramatic depletion in the skin’s water and oil content, leading to itchiness of the skin. If it is your first time in a hot spring, it is best not to stay in there for more than 20 minutes.
泡温泉不是时间越长或者次数越多又或是水温越高越好，非适当的泡温泉的方式可能会导致皮肤表面水和油的成分的流失，进而造成皮肤瘙痒.如果你是第一次泡温泉的话，最好不要在温泉里呆超过20分钟。
