Baby mugwort water bath

Mugwort has strong health-preserving functions, and I believe everyone should be familiar with this thing. Babies have poor resistance, so some parents will use mugwort water to bathe their children. Bathing babies with mugwort water is good for the child's health, but there are many issues that need to be paid attention to during the bathing process, and the method must be correct. Now let’s take a look at the correct way to bathe a baby with mugwort water.

1. Choose a bathing container

Mugwort bathing requires bathing equipment, preferably a wooden bathtub, bath bucket, ceramic bathtub, or surfing bathtub; it is not possible to take a mugwort bath in the shower.

2. Make a bath solution

Open the mugwort bath sachet, take out the inner bag, put it in a plastic basin, add 3-4 liters of 100 degrees Celsius boiling water, and soak for 5 minutes. Alternatively, add 30 grams of mugwort to water and put it in a pot and boil for 15 minutes. The thicker the better. Then put it in the bathtub, add appropriate amount of warm water, and adjust the water volume to be suitable for your bath.

3. Bath water temperature requirements

The water temperature requirement for mugwort bathing varies from person to person. The higher the water temperature, the better. A slightly hot and comfortable temperature is best. Generally speaking, the temperature of the bath liquid is 36℃-37℃ in summer and 36℃-37℃ in spring and autumn.

37℃-38℃, 38℃-39℃ in winter.

In addition, children and women can adjust the temperature down by 1-2℃ according to their own adaptability; the elderly can adjust it up by 1-2℃ according to their own adaptability; patients with rheumatism and arthritis can increase the temperature of the bath liquid by 1-2℃, preferably slightly hot and comfortable, not too high; the suitable water temperature for patients with hypertension and heart disease is 34℃-35℃ Celsius.

The length of each bath varies from person to person, and is generally 30 minutes. However, it can be extended for patients with rheumatism and arthritis. The body is in a sweating state, and it is best if the blockage is relieved or eliminated. You can add a certain amount of hot water according to your own adaptability to keep the bath liquid at the most comfortable temperature. The elderly can extend the bath appropriately, but not too long. The bathing time of patients with hypertension and heart disease should be reduced appropriately, not exceeding 30 minutes.

5. Bathing and Flushing

It is best not to use other detergents when taking a bath with mugwort. The mugwort bath sachet and bath liquid have excellent cleansing, sterilization and moisturizing effects. The skin feels very smooth after bathing. The bath liquid is black and red and will not stain the skin. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry after bathing. After taking a bath, keep warm to prevent catching a cold.

6. Requirements for the number of baths

For general health-care purposes, it is best to take an wormwood bath two to three times a week. It is recommended to take a bath before bedtime, because taking an wormwood bath before bedtime can effectively eliminate fatigue, promote sleep, and improve sleep quality. For patients with rheumatism and arthritis, it is better to take it every other day, but once a day is also possible. Mugwort bathing has the effects of curing, preventing and maintaining health. Mugwort bathing can be done in all seasons. It is not that a single mugwort bath can solve all problems. It requires long-term persistence.

Only with perseverance can you benefit throughout your life.

1. Do not put mugwort directly into the bath water and rub it to wash the baby. First, add mugwort and water to a pot and boil it. After the boiled water reaches a suitable temperature, add it to the bath water for the baby.

2. Do not use too much mugwort at one time, otherwise it will further irritate the baby's skin. After washing with mugwort water, it is best to rinse the baby with mild water.

3. Bathing time with mugwort leaves should not be too long. Patients with hypertension and heart disease should reduce the bathing time appropriately and not exceed 30 minutes.

4. It is best to take a bath with mugwort leaves two to three times a week. For patients with rheumatism and arthritis, it is appropriate to take a bath every other day, or once a day. It is recommended to take a bath before going to bed.

5. It is best not to use other detergents when bathing with mugwort. Many parents wash their babies with mugwort water and then wash them again with shower gel. This is wrong.

6. You cannot take a bath immediately after a meal. You can only use mugwort leaves to take a bath after 30 minutes.

7. Do not use if you have Yin deficiency and blood heat; do not use if you have blood loss disease; do not use if you are allergic to mugwort; do not use if you have trauma or skin ulcers.

8. It is not recommended to bathe a baby within 48 hours of fever or when the fever subsides. Bathing a baby with fever can easily cause the baby to have chills, and some may even have convulsions.

9. Do not take a bath immediately after vaccination. After vaccination, there will be temporary needle holes on the baby's skin that are invisible to the naked eye. Taking a bath at this time may easily contaminate the needle holes.

10. Do not bathe the baby temporarily if vomiting or diarrhea occurs frequently. It is inevitable to move the baby during bathing, which will aggravate vomiting.
