It can be said that I traveled thousands of miles to Azerbaijan just for an oil bath. I love to travel in search of novelty, and of course, an oil bath is an essential part that cannot be missed.
In fact, the process is quite routine. First, sitting in the bathtub, the service staff will turn on the switch, and warm oil will slowly flow out to cover the entire body. The touch of the oil is particularly smooth, like liquid gold, with a faint gasoline smell but not heavy. It can only be soaked for ten minutes, which can be said to be racing against time to take photos. After soaking, the staff will use tools to scrape off the oil on the body and then wash it several times with shower gel before going back.
Firstly, let me answer a question that many people are concerned about:
one ️⃣ Will it enter Beta
Definitely, just like soaking in a hot spring without wearing clothes, it will be cleaned up in a few days.
two ️⃣ Is there any poison
It's possible that the oil bath town of Naftalan is a health resort where everyone undergoes daily medical check ups before soaking in a hotel. It's a common way of recuperation in the area where everyone comes out after soaking for 10 minutes each time. I can't judge whether they will get poisoned after soaking, but I haven't had any adverse reactions myself. I haven't done anything toxic before, so I can't guarantee that others will be fine.
three ️⃣ Is it really oil
It's not real oil. Many sisters in the comment area are concerned about this, because the local people call this way oil bath. In fact, it's a thick brown liquid with gasoline smell. When it is held, it will have a shiny golden light. It's not the crude oil that everyone knows! no no no But because the locals call it Oil Bath, I don't know how to give it another name. Just like Fuqi Feipian (Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chilli Sauce), there is no husband and wife.
four ️⃣ Will it be difficult to clean thoroughly
It's really difficult to wash. I've washed it three times and there are still some places left out. Close fitting clothes will turn yellow, so it's best to pay attention to some wrinkled areas and wash them carefully.
five ️⃣ Can I light a cigarette?
If this oil can't burn, just order some love points
six ️⃣ How do I get there?
Take a bus or train from Baku to Champa, then take a taxi or change to a minibus to get there. It usually takes about 8 hours to arrive.
seven ️⃣ How about the price
There are many different sanatoriums in town, with around 300 yuan per night including three meals and a petroleum bath. Personally, I think the cost-effectiveness is still very high.
