We all know that taking a bath regularly can not only relieve physical fatigue, but also have a calming effect. Especially when adding different medicinal herbs to the water, it can have different health benefits. Let me explain the benefits of using Chinese herbal medicine for bathing in detail.
1. Calming and promoting sleep
People with poor sleep or insomnia always try to make the most of their time to sleep. However, taking a warm bath (around 26 degrees Celsius) before bedtime for about half an hour can promote sleep.
2. Relieving fatigue
Whether it is for students under academic pressure or busy office workers, taking a bath after intense work or study can make one feel refreshed, comfortable, and eliminate fatigue.
3. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
Huanglian, Huangbo, Yinhua, Lianqiao, Diding, and Pugongying all have antibacterial and antiviral properties, and have good anti-inflammatory and detoxification effects on the affected areas. In addition, the medicinal effects and heat can also improve blood circulation, increase local oxygen supply, improve microcirculation, and help inflammation subside.
4. Analgesic effect
The warm stimulation of medicinal bath has a certain blocking effect on the nerve endings of the skin, which can alleviate pain. At the same time, the medicinal effects can also have an analgesic effect. Therefore, Chinese herbal bath has a good analgesic effect.
5. Weight loss and slimming
Having a slim figure is the desire of every woman. However, many women feel upset about their bloated figure after marriage and childbirth.
The plan for slimming can be achieved through daily baths. Hot water weight loss is best done within 2 to 3 hours after a meal, as this is when energy consumption is high.
6. Beauty and skin care
Dirt can clog the pores of the skin and cause acne. If the skin lacks moisture, wrinkles are more likely to appear. Taking a bath allows the skin to directly absorb the steam and replenish moisture to the skin.
