What is the action mechanism of medicated bath therapy?

Medicated bath therapy is a bath made of natural herbs under the guidance of China's traditional medical theory, which fumigates and bathes human appearance, thus achieving the purpose of health preservation and treatment. The mechanism of medicated bath therapy includes stimulation and drug effect. First, it refers to the warm or cold stimulation, chemical stimulation and mechanical and physical stimulation of body surface and acupoints by bath water. Physical effects such as temperature stimulation and hydrostatic pressure of water, as well as chemical stimulation of trace inorganic salts in water (steam), can transmit stimulation information to internal organs or affected parts through meridians and acupoints, and play a role in regulation or treatment, thus achieving the purpose of treating diseases and preserving health. Second, after people take a medicated bath, the natural drugs in the bath can be absorbed through the skin, which will increase the local or systemic blood concentration and thus produce therapeutic effects. Medicinal bath can make drugs penetrate through skin, acupoints, etc. , and directly into the meridians, distributed throughout the body, and then play its pharmacological role. Medicated bath prescription is based on different symptoms to choose the corresponding drug compatibility, so it can produce different therapeutic effects.
