The average temperature of steaming is between 38-42 degrees, which is a health care method that uses high temperature to expand human pores, promote blood circulation and discharge accumulated sweat and toxins in the body.
In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, moisture is due to the abnormal function of spleen and stomach in transporting and transforming water, which leads to the inability to eliminate water in the body. The effect of removing dampness by steaming alone is low, while using dehumidified medicinal materials such as ginger, pepper and mugwort leaves has the function of conditioning the spleen and stomach, which can help the spleen and stomach to transport water and dampness back to normal.
What Chinese herbal medicine should be used for steaming according to your own needs?
Because different traditional Chinese medicines have different effects, such as ginger, pepper, wormwood leaf and other medicinal materials with dehumidification function, with the high temperature of the steaming room, they have the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach and eliminating moisture in the body, while safflower, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Pueraria lobata and other medicinal materials with the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can alleviate cervical spondylosis, arthritis and other diseases with the high temperature of the steaming room, so there is no clear regulation on the Chinese herbal medicines used in the steaming room, and everyone can choose according to their own needs.
Can I take a shower after steaming? It is not recommended to take a bath immediately.
Because the body is affected by high temperature after steaming, the pores on the body are basically open. At this time, if you take a shower, it will easily lead to external moisture and viruses entering the body, which will easily lead to low efficacy of steaming and even induce diseases such as colds. So it is not recommended to take a bath immediately after steaming.
The steaming bath time is generally about 6 hours before and after steaming. Hot water can be used to help open pores in advance before steaming, so that the subsequent steaming effect is better. After 6 hours, the body's sweat is basically completely dry and the pores are completely closed, which can effectively avoid the discomfort caused by bathing.
4 how long does it take to steam? It usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
Because the steaming room is a closed high-temperature space, if the steaming time is too long, it will easily lead to excessive loss of body fluids and a sense of oppression, which is very unfavorable to the arterial circulation and cerebral circulation of the body, especially for some people who have their own risk factors. It is also easy to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If the steaming time is too short, the required effect cannot be achieved. Therefore, the steaming time can generally be controlled within 20-30 minutes.
