Features: Since ancient times, people have accumulated a wealth of experience in health preservation, wellness, and medical care through daily life practices, continuously developing and refining these practices. Bathing is one such example. We can add certain medicinal or cosmetic substances to the bathwater, where their active ingredients can directly act on the skin, providing pain relief, itch relief, antibacterial and antiseptic effects, and beauty and skincare benefits. These medicinal or cosmetic substances may also enter the bloodstream through the transfer of the skin's stratum corneum and deeper epidermal layers, allowing their active ingredients to be absorbed by the human body, thereby achieving effects such as beauty, health preservation, wellness, disease prevention, and treatment. To make bathing a scientific method of health preservation, we must understand our own skin and physical conditions to target our efforts effectively. In line with this principle, this book introduces methods for determining skin types and skincare, and recommends numerous bathing methods for beauty and treatment of common diseases through bathing therapies.
