Bathing can remove sweat, dirt and grease, relieve fatigue, relax muscles and tendons, promote blood circulation, improve sleep, and improve skin metabolic function and disease resistance. And by soaking in warm water, some diseases can be treated. The temperature of hot water bath should not be too high, and warm water of 35 ~ 40℃ is generally suitable.

The number of times of washing should not be too much, because too many times will wash off all the oil normally secreted on the skin surface and the protective flora normally parasitic on the skin surface, which will easily cause skin itching and other diseases, and the skin's resistance will be weakened, but it will easily get sick. Bathing is divided into shower, basin bath and basin bath.

Precautions for bathing

1, get up and take a shower

Many people think that taking a bath after getting up in the morning can make you feel better and make you energetic all day. However, if you take a bath without eating in the morning, you will feel dizzy and even have hypoglycemia shock. If the water temperature is too high, it may lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain.

2. Take a bath before going to bed

Hot water can raise the body temperature rapidly and inhibit the secretion of melatonin in the brain. If you go to bed immediately after washing, it will be difficult to fall asleep. It is best to take a bath 2 hours before going to bed. If you can only take a bath before going to bed, you can cold compress your forehead with a wet towel for 5 minutes after taking a bath.
