Do I need to take a bath before the spa?
No matter whether you do essential oil massage or aromatherapy SPA, no matter whether the masseur adopts tonic method or diarrhea method, you can't take a bath for an hour before and after massage.

When people take a bath, hot water shower on the skin will accelerate the blood circulation on the body surface, leading to congestion on the body surface. Massage is a kind of "doing work" exercise that acts on the outside of human body surface, and it can also lead to congestion of human skin and accelerate blood circulation. Therefore. Once massaged immediately after bathing, the stomach and brain of the body will be relatively anoxic due to the dual effects of bathing and massage, and it is easy to collapse or faint.

Similarly, when people massage, qi and blood will fill the body surface in a short time, which will also make the whole body organs relatively ischemic and anoxic, causing dizziness, nausea and other discomfort, and even syncope. In addition, the weather is cold in winter, when people massage, their blood and blood converge on the body surface, and their pores are open, so it is easy to catch cold. You will catch a cold if you take off your clothes and take a shower immediately. Therefore, you should take a short rest in a warm and comfortable environment (1~2 hours) after massage, so that your body can return to normal before doing other activities. Need to be reminded that the elderly who are weak should be more careful before and after massage to prevent the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Besides massage, you can't take a bath immediately after cupping, otherwise it will easily hurt your skin and even lead to a second cold. After cupping, the skin is in a damaged state, sensitive and fragile. At this time, bathing is very likely to cause skin damage or inflammation. If the bath water temperature is too low at this time, the skin with open pores will catch cold. Therefore, you must not take a bath immediately after cupping to avoid getting sick.
