What are the precautions when sweat steaming?

1. People who are using steam sauna for the first time have never experienced such a high temperature and low humidity environment. Their body's resistance to high temperature is very limited, which can easily cause headaches, dizziness, and stuffiness. Therefore, people who use it for the first time can only stay in the room for about 10 minutes at 38-50℃, and should not stay too long.

2. Women during menstruation should avoid sweat steaming. During menstruation, women's body resistance is reduced. When they go in and out of the steam room, the alternation of cold and heat can easily cause colds and bacterial infections, endangering women's health.

3. When steaming, the body sweats a lot, and the filtering and sweating systems such as the kidneys and sweat glands are under great pressure. Therefore, people with renal insufficiency should not sweat excessively.

4. The temperature in the steam room is high, the humidity is low, the air flow is fast, and the oxygen content is slightly lower than that outdoors, which can cause the heart rate to accelerate, blood pressure to rise to a large extent, increase the heart load, and easily cause high blood pressure, sudden heart attack, accidents, and even life-threatening conditions. Therefore, patients with a history of hypertension or heart disease should not sweat steam.

5. The most suitable time for sweat steaming is within 45 minutes. The time should not be too long. Too long time will cause excessive dehydration and atrophy of body cells, electrolyte disorder in the body. After sweat steaming, the osmotic pressure inside and outside the body cells will be too high, and the cells will excessively absorb water, forming edema.

Things to note after steaming:

1. Replenish water in time. Water is the source of life, accounting for about 70% of human body weight. If the human body loses 2% to 5% of this water, it is necessary to replenish it by drinking water. Therefore, it is very important to rest for ten minutes after sweating and replenishing water.

2. After steaming, do not wipe off the sweat on your body. The sweat produced by sweat steaming is different from the sweat produced by exercise. The sweat produced by sweat steaming is smooth and non-greasy, and has a good effect on skin beauty. Therefore, don’t rush to wipe off the sweat on your body after sweat steaming, let it slowly be absorbed by the skin.

3. You should rest for a while after sweat steaming. You should rest for a while after sweat steaming, about twenty minutes. Avoid colds caused by alternating hot and cold temperatures.

4. It is not suitable to take a shower within six hours after sweat steaming. The steaming temperature is around 42-45 degrees, and the scientific steaming time is 40-60 minutes. People will not feel stuffy during the steaming process and their breathing will be smooth. The sweat discharged after steaming in the sauna is sticky and has a sweat odor. You must take a shower after steaming in the sauna to remove the sweat odor. The sweat discharged during sweat steaming has no sweat odor, and the skin becomes smooth after the sweat dries. It is not advisable to take a shower within 6 hours after the end of sweat steaming, as showering will reduce the health care effect of sweat steaming.
