Benefits of medicine bath in autumn

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the climate in autumn is changeable, with large temperature differences in the morning, afternoon, evening and indoor and outdoor. The lungs of the human body are easily stimulated by warm and cold because they are directly connected with the outside world. However, traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the lung is a delicate organ" and "the lung dominates the skin and hair", which are easily affected by climate change in nature. In modern popular language, it means that the mucous membrane of respiratory tract is constantly stimulated to weaken the antibody, which provides opportunities for all kinds of bacteria and viruses. This is one of the reasons why in autumn, there are more patients with cold, tonsillitis, tracheitis and pneumonia, and chronic patients with bronchitis and asthma are easy to relapse.

Taking medicine bath in autumn can not only promote blood circulation, make the human body adapt to the stimulation of temperature change as soon as possible, improve the tolerance, but also drive away the residual heat in the body, and relieve the tension and anxiety caused by the heat. In particular, it is commendable that according to the Constitution and the condition of illness, the prescription of medicine bath suitable for everyone can be flexibly formulated, which can not only cure the disease, but also keep fit.

Medicated bath is a combination of medicine, water and temperature to achieve the triple effect of medicament, hot compress and hydrotherapy. In addition to relaxing the body and mind, it can also help the recovery of some joint and muscle injuries. The added herbs can penetrate through the skin and hair orifices to reach the body, and then move to all parts of the body with Qi and blood to achieve the effect of curing diseases and keeping fit.
