Soaking too long in hot springs can lead to dehydration and potential fainting. For first-time visitors, it is recommended to limit bathing sessions to 10 minutes at a time, with a maximum of 1-2 sessions per day. Bathing duration can be gradually increased to 15-20 minutes per session, 2-3 sessions daily for the following times.
The benefits of hot spring bathing may not be apparent after a single session. Visit Thanh Thuy Hot Spring regularly can enhance the effectiveness of this therapeutic practice.

To replenish water lost during hot spring bathing, rehydration is crucial. Remember to drink water before entering the pools and have a light snack beforehand, as bathing can be as tiring as exercise. Finally, test the water temperature before bathing to avoid shocking the body.
One more thing to note, ensure a clean body and remove makeup. Dirt and heavy makeup can hinder the skin's absorption of beneficial minerals.
Avoid rinsing off immediately after taking a hot spring bath. It is better to wait for a few hours so that the minerals fully absorb into your skin. However, if you need to rinse, make sure to do it gently and quickly.
Do not shower immediately and wait for some time before taking another bath. After bathing, rest well and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
A full-body immersion bath is a type of bath in which the entire body is submerged in water. This type of bath is often used for relaxation and stress relief, as the warm water can help to soothe muscles. Bathing can improve your blood circulation and promote sleep.
