Once the herbs are boiled, the bath can be completed. The red-tinged boiling hot medicinal water is mixed with a regular bath water at a ratio of 2/3% and 97/98%. Once mixed together, the temperature of the bath must remain between 30 – 37 degrees Celsius (86 – 98.6F) in order to unlock the benefits for your body.
Sometimes the bathtubs look like large whiskey or wine barrels, while other properties may have more western-style bathtubs – either way, they are always made of solid wood to enhance the herbal remedies, and situated within a closed space similar as a sauna would be to keep the steam within the room longer.
Depending on the reason you want to take the bath and your health condition, the time you soak is strictly regulated from 15 to 30 minutes.
Bathing for too long can lead to a feeling similar to having one too many glasses of wine or whiskey, accompanied by shortness of breath, especially for people with blood pressure issues, or a history of cardiovascular and/or other similar diseases.
