Nowadays, many people particularly enjoy soaking in hot springs, which is the best choice for winter tourism. Soaking in hot springs can effectively promote blood circulation and is very beneficial for physical health. Especially in winter, soaking in hot springs not only has a health promoting effect, but also is very comfortable and pleasant. So, can children under the age of three soak in hot springs?
Children under the age of three should not soak in hot springs because this is the high-risk stage for allergies in infants and young children, and soaking in hot springs may cause allergic symptoms. Moreover, the brain and various organs of children under the age of three are growing and developing, and the high water temperature of hot springs can accelerate blood circulation, which can easily cause children to experience brain hypoxia, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
The stratum corneum of the skin of babies under three years old is very thin, and their ability to resist stimuli is weak. Moreover, during this period, the baby's skin has strong adhesion. There are many minerals in hot springs, but these minerals are not conducive to the growth of infants and young children. If they enter the body of children, they will have adverse effects on their health.
After the child is three years old, they can soak in hot springs appropriately, but the soaking time must be controlled and it is best not to soak for too long. It is best for children not to soak in hot springs for more than 15 minutes each time, and the number of times they go into the water during each hot spring should also not exceed 3 times to avoid endangering their health.
