How about taking a bath in summer? Is it different from soaking in winter?

Many customers think that winter is the best time to take a bath, but they ignore the necessity of taking a bath in hot weather. In traditional medicine, there has always been a saying that winter diseases are treated in summer and winter diseases are raised in summer. According to the influence of natural changes on human body, Chinese medicine calculates the changes of qi and blood circulation in each solar term, and formulates traditional treatment methods accordingly. According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer", because the yang is strong in summer and reaches the peak of the four seasons, especially in dog days, the skin is slack, and drugs can easily penetrate from the skin to acupoints and meridians, and can directly reach the affected area through meridians and blood, so bathing in hot days can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.
