Also, since the half-body bath can only be filled with hot water in half of the bathtub, in the season when the outside air temperature is low, such as in winter, the upper half of the bathtub is very cold, and even if a bath towel is used to lean against the bathtub, the coldness of the bathtub is not so high. Is not very tolerable when transmitted to the skin.

In addition, by efficiently utilizing this half-body bath to promote sweating action, stimulate pressure points and improve blood circulation by the acupressure effect, so as to relieve tiredness such as stiff shoulders and put the head on the lip of the bathtub to relax.
