Is the hair dryer a hidden "healing artifact"?
Various "healing artifacts" emerge one after another in the hype. Now, there is a new member in this "flicker team", which is our common hair dryer. Below, let's analyze how unscientific it is to treat diseases with hair dryers one by one.

Blowing your stomach with a hair dryer can cure hiccups? It's not reliable at all. Hiccup is caused by diaphragm spasm, which may generally be caused by a cold, sudden swallowing or sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure. In most cases, hiccups can disappear by themselves or be improved by drinking warm water. Long-lasting hiccups are intractable hiccups, usually caused by chronic diseases, and can't rely on hair dryers at all.

How to do rhinitis with nasal congestion? The nose has the functions of adjusting temperature and humidity and cleaning the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity needs a humid environment. Blowing with a hair dryer is destructive to the nasal mucosa, and it will also weaken the function of cleaning up the virus in the nasal cavity, making the nasal cavity drier and more uncomfortable. If there is inflammation in the nasal cavity, this method is likely to aggravate the condition. As for killing the flu virus in the nasal cavity, it is too small to look down on the flu virus. The temperature required to kill them is beyond the reach of a hair dryer.

Why not blow your feet to cure frostbite? Sorry, it's very limited. Frostbite is skin damage caused by local low skin temperature. At the beginning, the skin is not ulcerated and damaged, but when it is red, swollen and itchy, you can try proper hot compress. When frostbite is serious enough to cause skin ulceration, how to blow it with a hair dryer is a drop in the bucket. The correct way is to use appropriate drugs to diminish inflammation and relieve pain.

Treat headaches? Never believe that a hair dryer can't cure the disease on your feet, let alone your head. It is also quite bold to blow your temples with a hair dryer to treat headaches. The cause of headache is very complicated, and it is not feasible to treat it with a hair dryer alone. For example, headaches caused by diseases such as hypertension, colds, brain tumors and strokes can only be improved after treatment.

As for blowing navel to treat diarrhea, it is easy to backfire. The navel is a particularly sensitive part and cannot be touched easily. The navel is more closely connected with the abdominal cavity than other parts of the abdomen, and it is also the closest place to the internal organs. Usually small digging and big digging are taboo. It is very likely that blowing hot air with a hair dryer is counterproductive, and it can't cure diarrhea and aggravate the condition. And there are many reasons for diarrhea, such as bacterial infection, virus infection, food poisoning and so on. It is careless to treat diarrhea with a hair dryer without asking the root cause.

There are also "hair dryer series remedies" such as blowing neck to treat cervical spondylosis and blowing feet to treat foot moss. Hair dryers shine brightly in these "health articles" In fact, in most cases, hair dryers can't "blow casually" as boasted in those articles, and these practices have not been confirmed clinically.

If it is based on the effect of creating a dry environment and raising the skin temperature, the hair dryer may still temporarily relieve a few diseases.

For example, when there are eczema and mold in the ear, the doctor in the hospital will also let the patient blow the ear canal with a hair dryer, because the ear canal is narrow and easy to accumulate mold after being wet. Blowing with a low windshield can dry the ear canal and reduce the growth of mold. In addition, when you have low back pain, use a hair dryer to blow on your waist. The increase of skin temperature is beneficial to promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and can also improve blood circulation after vasodilation, similar to physical therapy. Before wearing shoes, blow them into the shoes with a hair dryer for a while, which can make them more comfortable to wear, and also kill mold and prevent beriberi.

Hair dryer can produce hot air, which may have a little auxiliary effect on relieving some symptoms, but it is obviously not reliable to treat diseases by it. When the operation is improper, it may even have some side effects, such as using the hair dryer for a long time, which is very hot and easy to cause burns. If there is pain, it is best to go to the hospital for examination first to determine the symptoms and nature, so as to implement a more effective treatment plan. Otherwise, blind use of hair dryer may delay or even aggravate the illness. Some inflammation will be aggravated by heat, making the condition even more pessimistic. If the hair dryer is used instead of routine treatment, it will not only delay the treatment, but may even aggravate the symptoms. Therefore, experts suggest that it is best not to try to treat diseases with hair dryers easily. (Source: Technology Life Weekly)
