Before use
Consultation with professional advice: If you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or have any health issues, it is recommended to consult a doctor or traditional Chinese medicine practitioner before using mugwort sea salt bags to ensure that they do not have any adverse effects on your body. For example, if special Chinese medicinal herbs are added during breastfeeding, or if the hot compress time and temperature are not appropriate, it may affect breastfeeding.
Check the product: Check if the mugwort sea salt bag is damaged, if the wiring is normal (for electric heating models), etc., to ensure safe use.
Hand washing: Wash your hands before use to ensure hygiene.
in use
Temperature control: Do not set the temperature too high and avoid using it directly on the skin to prevent red marks from being burned on the skin. Electric heating models usually have temperature adjustment gears, and the appropriate temperature can be selected according to their own tolerance level.
Choose the location for hot compress: Specific areas should be selected for hot compress, avoiding full body hot compress and not allowing it to come into contact with the eyes.
Pay attention to the duration of use: It is recommended that the usage time should not exceed 30 minutes each time. Some products have automatic timing function, with 30/45/60 minutes to choose from, which can be set as needed.
Avoid dangerous behavior: Do not cover yourself with a blanket for hot compress. Although some hot compress salt bags have the function of cutting off power when exposed to high temperatures, the heat inside cannot be dissipated, making it still prone to danger.
After use
Avoid contact with cold water: Do not wash your hands or face with cold water within half an hour after applying hot compress, and do not take a shower immediately to avoid catching a cold.
Moisturizing: During the process of hot compress, the body loses water quickly, so it is important to drink plenty of warm water instead of cold or icy water.
Sealed storage: After hot compress, please seal the hot compress bag in a timely manner after the salt bag has cooled down, because salt easily absorbs moisture from the air and is prone to moisture. If moisture is found, you can take out the inner salt bag and expose it to the sun.
Special periods and populations
Menstrual period: Hot compress can be used during menstruation, but if the menstrual flow is too large, it is not recommended to use hot compress. If the amount is too small, 2 can be used.
Preparing for pregnancy: In the month of preparing for pregnancy, please adjust the hot compress time to the period from menstrual period to ovulation period, because pregnancy may occur after ovulation, so do not continue hot compress.
Other groups: Do not apply hot compress when hungry, overeating, or drunk; People with acute injuries, joint injuries, trauma, inflammation, and rapid pulse (over 90 beats per minute) should not use it; Minors should use it with caution.
