Mud-bath in Nha Trang - necessary information
Considered as "Mediterranean Sea of Vietnam " or "Rio de Janeiro of Central Vietnam", Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa) is much like a "full-of-sunshine deck" with many charming beauty spots like: Tháp Bà (Ba Tower), Hòn Tằm (Tam island), Hòn Mun (Mun island), Hon Heo (Heo island), Hoa Lan spring, Nha Trang bay (newly-acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful bays in the world), etc. Specially, apart from mountains, beaches, piers, tourists may enjoy a so-called specialty of Nha Trang: mud-bath. Mud-bath is divided into 8 steps, mainly are:
After get changing cloth, tourists are instructed to clean themselves with warm mineral water in a yard of various faucets whose water source is from entrails of the earth.
- The above step is followed by the main step: mud-bath, massaging the face/hair with mud, and flush your body.
- Sun-bath is the 3rd step after 15-minute mud-bath. This step is to allow minerals present in mud to penetrate onto the skin.
- As soon as sun-bath has completed, tourists are instructed to flush their bodies with fresh water to get rid of mud, then have their bodies soaked in a hot mineral water lake, swimming pool, waterfall, and eventually, the step of "ôn tuyền thuỷ liệu pháp". (.....) Tourists may find this kind of bath very special since warm bath is alternatively carried out with cool bath, this happens in four sequences.
Fall of warm mineral water and "ôn tuyền thuỷ liệu pháp" are known by tourists as two newly-born services of Tourist Centre of Thap Ba warm mineral water. As a matter of fact, these are types of massages, but by water. From this water fall, mineral water from a certain height flowing down as hardly and heavily as manual massage that really drive tourists away exhaustion. With "ôn tuyền thuỷ liệu pháp", tourists may get their entire bodies massaged by thousands of warm spray of water strongly ejecting from two parallel stone walls that is 1m apart from each other. Apart from two steps that are time limited (mud-bathing in about 15 minutes, bathing in warm mineral water in about 40 minutes), tourists feel free to bathe without any bore.
A little notice to tourists who follow this mud-bath for their purposes of relaxation or any kinds of treatments, having bath in cold water is not recommended after mud-bath, especially with soap (including bleaching powder of all kinds) as these types of bath will definitely wash out the mineral layer on your skin, consequently, reduce effectiveness of mud.
Notes to pernicious-heart-failure people, mud-bath may
bring them some response to their bodies like: tired, tense, insomniac,
dizzy. Hence, bath temperature and time should be given remarkable care
since these are different from this person to that person. After
entirely soaking, drying bodies and having a rest for about 10-20
minutes are to be of musts.
