BATHING TIPS
AI Generated

With a modest spring temperature of 25.7°C, heated bathing is standard at the facility. To fully appreciate the silky, alkaline texture of the water, begin with brief 3–10 minute immersions; as your body adjusts, gradually extend sessions to 15–20 minutes. After bathing, gently dab—rather than rinse—the mineral residue with a towel to preserve the skin's lasting smoothness.

EFFECT STORY
AI Generated

This weakly alkaline spring (pH 8.7) delivers sodium ions at 224.3 mg/kg and bicarbonate ions at 207.3 mg/kg, gently dissolving aged skin cells and revealing a radiant, silken complexion. Metasilicic acid (40.3 mg/kg) excels in moisture retention, making it especially welcome for those battling dryness. Officially recognized for easing autonomic instability, insomnia, and depressive states, this water companions modern life's stress and sleep disruptions with genuine therapeutic warmth.

CAUTIONS
AI Generated

Those experiencing fever, malignancy, severe cardiac or renal conditions, or active gastrointestinal bleeding should refrain from bathing. Avoid immersion after alcohol consumption or during states of exhaustion; should dizziness or unease arise, exit the bath promptly and recline to recover.
