Summer is here and many people choose to use San Fu Tie to treat various illnesses such as asthma, rhinitis, and colds. Can you take a shower after removing San Fu Tie?
Can you take a shower immediately after removing San Fu Tie?
No, you should not take a shower immediately.
After just applying San Fu Tie, the pores are in an open and closed state. In addition, the area where the medicine is applied may not have fully absorbed the medication. Taking a shower too early can lead to invasion of wind and cold in the body, which can affect the effectiveness of the treatment.
Therefore, you should not take a shower immediately after removing San Fu Tie.
How long should you wait before taking a shower after removing San Fu Tie?
You can take a shower 10 hours after removing San Fu Tie.
For individuals with good physical fitness, it is generally safe to take a shower after 10 hours of applying San Fu Tie. For individuals with weaker constitutions, it is recommended to wait 12-24 hours before taking a shower.
Of course, during hot summer weather, individuals with weaker constitutions can clean their skin with a sponge or cloth after 10 hours.
Can you apply San Fu Tie immediately after taking a shower?
It is better to apply San Fu Tie immediately after taking a shower.
Applying San Fu Tie after taking a shower is highly recommended because it helps to clean sweat and dust from the surface of the skin, which can effectively prevent clogged pores.
However, it is important to dry the skin completely before applying San Fu Tie to prevent infection.
What should you pay attention to after removing San Fu Tie?
Avoid rubbing or scrubbing forcefully.
San Fu Tie has a spicy and stimulating effect, and it may cause blisters on the skin where it is applied. Excessive rubbing or scrubbing can easily cause skin abrasions and increase the risk of infection.
Pay attention to diet.
During the period of using San Fu Tie, it is recommended to have a light diet and avoid consuming raw, cold, fried, and spicy foods (including scallions and onions). It is also advisable to reduce consumption of fatty, sweet, greasy, and phlegm-producing foods. Additionally, avoid eating fish, shrimp, beef, chicken, lamb, and peanuts to avoid affecting the treatment effectiveness.
Avoid cold beverages.
Cold beverages can damage the yang qi of the spleen and stomach, making the already weak constitution even weaker. Furthermore, cold food and drinks can cause stagnation of cold qi in the body, which can hinder the effectiveness of the treatment.
How long should San Fu Tie be applied at a time?
San Fu Tie should be applied for 3-4 hours at a time.
It is best to apply San Fu Tie for 3-4 hours each time. Applying it for too long may cause skin allergies. If you experience itching or stinging sensations during application, you can reduce the time accordingly. Additionally, for children with delicate skin, the application time should be appropriately shortened.
