The Longsheng Dailing Hot Spring is located in the forest area 32 kilometers away from the Longsheng county town. Peaks covered with green trees overlap in the scenic spot. The hot spring water surges out of rock strata 1200 meters under the ground. The water quality is clear and there are 16 outlets of different sizes altogether. The average temperature of the water is 54-58℃ and the total flow volume is 528.7 tons per day. The content of metasilicic acid in the water is relatively high, belonging to medical potable mineral water containing metasilicic acid. It meets the national standards for mineral water and drinking water. Moreover, the water also contains more than 10 microelements beneficial to human body such as lithium, strontium, iron, zinc and copper.
The hot spring is formed when the underground water deep in the earth crust is heated by geothermal heat and then spouts out on the surface. It generally contains various active microelements with a certain degree of mineralization. The temperature of the spring water is usually above 30℃, which is the prerequisite condition for us to bathe directly; The reason why people never get tired of bathing in hot springs is that the spring water contains dozens of trace mineral elements beneficial to human health such as silicic acid, lithium, strontium, iron, copper and zinc.
According to the young expert on hot spring, it has sufficient scientific basis that bathing in hot spring is a process of health and enjoyment. After people go down into warm water, the buoyancy and static pressure of the water make our bodies begin to accept mechanical stimulation. The stimulating effect of temperature depends on the difference between the temperature of the hot spring and the human body's sense of temperature. Generally speaking, the temperature lower than 34℃ is low temperature, 34-42℃ is warm, and higher than 42℃ is high temperature. In addition to these two physical effects, the hot spring water containing various microelements also has special chemical effects. It acts on the body in two forms, namely, the chemical components decomposed into ionic state in the mineral hot water enter the human body or the chemical substances adhere to the human body and stimulate the skin. It is worth mentioning that the trace active elements in hot springs are indispensable substances for human survival and development.
The physical effects of bathing in hot springs can relieve muscle pain and eliminate waste in the body; The chemical effects have three major effects: soaking, inhaling and drinking. When the body "soaks", "inhales" and "drinks" hot spring water, it can balance the acidity and alkalinity of the blood, thereby producing hydrotherapy and heat敷effects. Especially for people suffering from bone and joint diseases, it has the effect of reducing pain. Chen Yanbing, an expert on medical mineral springs in China, believed in the book "Mineral Springs and Convalescence" that warm mineral springs have therapeutic effects on obesity, diseases of the musculoskeletal system (such as trauma, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), diseases of the nervous system (nerve damage, neuritis, etc.), early mild cardiovascular disease, gout, skin diseases.
For patients who have suffered from insomnia, anxiety or depression and other psychosomatic symptoms for a long time, bathing in hot springs has the effects of relaxing muscles and bones and promoting blood circulation, making you relieve pain, eliminate fatigue, rejuvenate and invigorate. It also has good physiotherapy treatment and health care effects on cardiovascular disease, neuralgia, diabetes and gynecological diseases. In addition, because bathing in hot springs has the effects of skin care, beauty slimming, health care and recuperation, it is especially popular among women.
When bathing in the pool nestled in the mountains, you can feel the lushness of nature and the fresh air, relax all your nerves, absorb phytoncides (the fragrant gas in the forest, known as air vitamin), repair the fatigue factors in the body, and let your respiratory system be burden-free. You can remember to close your eyes while bathing in the hot spring, meditate, and slowly breathe deeply several times, so as to truly release all the stress of the mind and body, truly enjoy the hot spring, and truly enjoy health.
