The "poison" in traditional Chinese medicine refers to the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body, and the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and other organs will carry all kinds of toxins. In modern medicine, any substance that can interfere with normal physiological activities and destroy body functions can be called "poison". Not only that, endocrine disorders and constipation caused by improper diet, excessive stress and disorder of work and rest are also a kind of "poison".
Massage does not accelerate detoxification. The lymphatic system is responsible for the body's nutrient absorption and waste discharge. Massage may promote blood circulation and regulate the metabolism of water and liquid in the body, but improper pressing position or excessive massage may cause damage, such as lymphadenitis. Similarly, massage in other parts of the body can't play the role of detoxification.
Steam detoxification is also a false proposition. In fact, sweat is composed of 99% water and 65,438+0% urea, lactic acid and fatty acids, which are normal metabolites, so 99% of the body's water is discharged through steaming. Excessive steaming may lead to water shortage in the body. People who drop blood sugar tend to faint when steaming.
Our normal bodies don't need special detoxification. After all, our body has its own self-regulation system, which can resist some unhealthy bacteria and toxins. The body has normal metabolic function, and can excrete metabolic waste in time to achieve the effect of detoxification. The human liver also has the function of detoxification. It decomposes harmful substances in the blood into carbon dioxide, which is excreted through the lungs to achieve the effect of detoxification.
