In recent years, various types of steam rooms have emerged, which have become a popular way of health care and leisure for many people. Regular steaming can open pores, promote blood circulation, and expel rheumatism and cold poison from the body.
Although sweating looks simple, it is actually very particular. Today I will tell you how to sweat scientifically and avoid stepping into misunderstandings.
The steaming is actually a kind of hyperthermia with a long history. Traditional steaming is to warm yellow mud and various stones in a special steaming room. People sit or lie down to warm the whole body. Proper steaming can indeed bring several benefits.
Beautiful skin. Sweat steaming can accelerate blood circulation in the body, enhance skin elasticity, and play a role in beautifying the skin. After sweating, the pores of the skin will open, and the effect of facial hydration will be better.
Slimming body. When steaming, the metabolism in the body is accelerated, and sweating a lot will consume a lot of calories, which is helpful for weight loss and weight loss.
Soothing emotions. When sweating, the whole body is warm and relaxed, which is good for soothing emotions and reducing stress, and also helps relieve symptoms such as insomnia and headache.
Warm the meridian and activate the blood. Sweat steaming can improve the symptoms of joint and muscle pain in people with cold constitution, and has a certain relieving effect on rheumatic diseases.
Although sweating has so many benefits, it is not a panacea. Some people have heard that sweat steaming has the effect of sweating, repelling cold, and treating colds. It’s not that there is a problem with sweating, but that the steaming method is wrong.
After the human body is cold, it can relieve the body through proper sweating. From this point of view, the effect of sweat steaming is similar to that of TCM sweating, but TCM sweating is very particular. The requirement of expelling evil spirits and sweating outside is to sweat slightly all over the body, not to sweat profusely. When you start to sweat and feel relaxed, you should stop the illness immediately, dry your body immediately, take measures to keep warm and go home to rest. Excessive sweating will cause excessive sweating, and the temperature of the steaming room will be high, so it is not surprising that cough, chest tightness, and thick phlegm occur the next day.
Because sweat steaming is carried out in a relatively closed environment with high temperature and insufficient air circulation, it is not suitable for everyone. Those with weak constitution, those with bleeding tendency, the elderly, menstruating women, and pregnant women are not suitable for steaming. In addition, people with severe hypertension, heart disease, heart with pacemaker, tuberculosis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute disease, advanced cancer, high fever, infectious skin disease and other people who cannot tolerate high temperature are also not suitable for sweating Steam. It is not suitable for sweat steaming after drinking alcohol. Those with TCM syndrome differentiation of excess heat and phlegm heat, as well as those with Yin deficiency and damp-heat constitution are not suitable for sweat steaming. Since the temperature will continue to be around 40°C during sweating, regular sweating will keep men’s sperm at a high temperature, which will easily affect the growth of sperm and cause male infertility. Therefore, men should pay attention to the frequency of sweating not too high. .
