2. Matters needing attention in traditional Chinese medicine bathing
Chinese medicine bath must ask Chinese medicine practitioners to prescribe medicine according to the condition and make medicine soup according to the doctor's advice. Don't choose your own medicine blindly.
Be sure to take a shower before taking a shower and keep the medicine pool clean. Rinse with warm water immediately after bathing, dry your skin and get dressed in time. Generally speaking, hot water medicated bath (39℃ ~ 45℃) is suitable for rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic myalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, sequela of various bone injuries, obesity, psoriasis and so on. The temperature of medicated bath is suitable for nervous hyperactivity, insomnia, general pain, dyspepsia, etc. Should be equal to or slightly lower than body temperature; 25℃ ~ 33℃ is suitable for acute sprain and contusion. When taking medicine bath, the room temperature should not exceed 20℃ When taking a local medicated bath, you should pay attention to keeping warm all over, and take shelter from the wind in summer to prevent colds.
When taking a bath for the first time, the water level should be below the heart. After the body adapts for about 3 ~ 5 minutes, it slowly soaks to the shoulder position. Bathing time should not be too long, especially the whole body hot bath. Due to excessive sweating, the loss of body fluids is large; The skin blood vessels are fully dilated, and the blood volume on the body surface increases, leading to head ischemia and dizziness or syncope. In case of syncope, you should get out of the bathtub in time, lie flat on the bed in the lounge, and give the patient some boiled water or sugar water to replenish body fluids and energy. Or wash your feet with cold water, so that the blood vessels in the lower limbs contract and the blood supply to the head is sufficient.
Patients with severe heart failure, severe pulmonary insufficiency, myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, aortic aneurysm, arteriosclerosis and hypertension, and those with bleeding tendency, the elderly and children should use medicinal bath with water temperature above 39℃ with caution, but they should be bathed with liquid medicine close to body temperature, accompanied by family members or medical staff, and the bathing time should not be too long. Medicated bath is not suitable during pregnancy or menstrual period, especially tub bath and sitz bath.
After soaking in hot medicine bath, the whole body is easy to faint, so I get up slowly from the bathtub after bathing; Mild chest tightness, dry mouth and other discomforts occur when soaking in medicine bath, so you can drink water or drinks properly; If you have serious discomfort, you should immediately stop taking the medicated bath.
It is not advisable to take a full-body medicated bath before and half an hour after meals. Medicinal bath before meals, due to an empty stomach, sweating too much when taking a bath, is easy to cause collapse. Medicated bath immediately after meals can cause gastrointestinal or visceral blood decrease, blood tends to the body surface, which is not conducive to digestion, and can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and even nausea and vomiting. It is not advisable to take a whole body hot bath before going to bed, so as not to affect sleep after excitement.
3, unfavorable bath time
1, blood pressure is too low to take a bath.
People with low blood pressure should not take a bath alone, because the water temperature is generally higher than the body surface temperature when taking a bath, which can dilate people's blood vessels. People with low blood pressure are prone to symptoms such as insufficient blood supply to the brain and collapse.
It is not advisable to take a bath after drinking.
Alcohol can inhibit liver function and hinder the release of sugar plateau. When taking a bath, the glucose consumption in the human body will increase. Taking a bath after drinking, because the consumed blood sugar can not be replenished in time, dizziness, dizziness, general weakness and hypoglycemia coma may occur in severe cases.
It is not advisable to take a bath on an empty stomach.
When taking a bath on an empty stomach, the heat in the human body is transmitted to the outside through water and consumed, and the body's demand for energy increases. At this time, the glucose level in the blood in the body is low, which can not meet the body's demand for energy, and will lead to dizziness and even syncope and shock due to hypoglycemia. In addition, on an empty stomach, people's resistance to external temperature changes decreases, which is also easy to cause colds.
4. It is not advisable to take a bath after a full meal.
Taking a bath immediately after a meal, the blood vessels on the skin surface of the whole body are stimulated by hot water to expand, so that more blood flows to the body surface, and the blood supply in the abdominal cavity is relatively reduced, which will affect digestion and absorption, cause hypoglycemia, and even lead to collapse and fainting in severe cases.
5. It is not advisable to take a bath immediately after delivery.
No matter after physical or mental work, you should not take a bath immediately, otherwise it will easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain and even syncope. Therefore, having a rest after work is more beneficial to relieve fatigue and health.
6. Don't take a bath when you have a fever.
Many people have the common sense of taking a bath to cool down physically when they have a fever, but it should be noted that taking a bath is only for scrubbing parts of the body, and it is not the same as taking a bath. Because rising body temperature will lead to a lot of heat consumption in the body, for example, when a person's body temperature rises to 38℃, the body's heat consumption can increase by 20%. At this time, the body is weak, and bathing is prone to accidents.
