In the morning, taking a bath after exercise generally does not hurt yang qi.

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, yang qi in the human body starts to grow in the morning, and proper exercise in the morning stage helps to replenish yang qi. At the same time, for people who take a bath after exercise in the morning, the water temperature can help promote blood circulation in the human body, promote meridian patency, and then stimulate yang qi. However, it is not recommended to take a bath for too long, because for people who take a bath for too long, it may cause the pores to expand and promote the yang in the human body to disperse, thus increasing the risk of catching a cold. Overall, taking a bath in the morning after proper exercise has no great impact on the yang in the human body. If you feel uncomfortable taking a bath in the morning, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
