Patients with poor general condition, severe rheumatic activity, and obvious vasculitis should avoid massage therapy to avoid worsening of the condition.

It is best to control it within 15 minutes. The water temperature should be kept at around 35℃-37℃, and the indoor temperature should be around 22℃-26℃. After bathing and washing your hair, it is best to dry it or blow it dry in the room quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold. In winter, you can prepare a heater nearby.
