The higher the ground is, the thinner the atmosphere is, and the dust and smoke in it are also obviously reduced, so the chance of sunlight being absorbed is less, so the sunlight at high places is stronger than that at low places. It contains a lot of ultraviolet rays. Generally speaking, the plateau is more suitable for sunbathing therapy than the plain, the mountain is better than the lowland, the countryside is better than the city, and the seaside is better than the inland; It is best to sunbathe for 30 minutes after a meal, not on an empty stomach; During or after irradiation, if symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and elevated body temperature appear, the irradiation should be stopped immediately, so as to reduce the future irradiation amount and give enough water as a preventive measure after each irradiation; After sunbathing for a few days, if you have general discomfort, fatigue, insomnia, loss of appetite, etc. It may be the accumulation of sunlight and excessive stimulation, so we should suspend sunbathing treatment; Sunbathing should follow the principle of step by step, and the exposure should be from small to large.
