What are the benefits of steam therapy?
According to your physical condition, both treatments are good. If you often stay up late, I suggest bubble therapy. If you always get acne, steam therapy.

The following is an explanation, which is relatively long. Take your time. If you don't want to read it, just read what I wrote for you.

Matters needing attention and explanation of steaming (1) What's the difference between a steaming room and a sauna room?

Obviously, sauna is heated by steam to sweat, and the heating sequence is from outside to inside; Sweating is the use of natural mineral materials (tourmaline) in the whole house to make people sweat a lot. Because of the properties of tourmaline, the skin sweats from the inside out.

Intuitively speaking, steaming is different from sauna: first of all, steaming is electric heating, and the temperature is not as high as sauna. 38-46 degrees, dry, no moisture. Deep breathing will make you feel the air is cool. During the indoor steam therapy, you can do yoga, read books, listen to music, watch TV, play chess and sleep. . . . . . 45-60 minutes, the skin will change in 20 minutes, becoming white, tender and delicate; If you are slightly drunk, you can be as sober as before drinking after 20 minutes. After 40 minutes, if there is acute inflammation, it will be relieved or even disappeared. After repeated verification, people who have a cold and fever can recover once or twice. After steam therapy once, under the premise of not taking a bath within 4-8 hours, the whole body will feel as comfortable as a layer of powder that night, and will go into a deep sleep, generally not dreaming, and all cells will rest; After 7- 14 days of steam therapy, there will be obvious changes in body and mind. After 24 hours, the skin is smooth and the pores are obviously reduced. After 20 days, the pigmentation is obviously degraded and the symptoms of alopecia are obviously improved. Of course, these effects are also different according to everyone's physique, and what happens will be different.

(2) According to the difference of human body, everyone's physical reaction after entering the steaming room can be different. If there is a reaction, it means that the body has made progress. The following are the different physical performances of everyone after the experience:

Acidic constitution: numbness, dry tongue, anemia, abdominal tightness and exhaust.

Hypertension: excessive hair, dizziness, general weakness, low red blood cells and nosebleeds.

Weak stomach function or diseases: nausea, loss of appetite, stomachache and dry mouth.

Liver function damage: itchy and blistering skin.

Nephropathy: edema of face and legs.

Chronic tracheitis with poor lung function: dry mouth, nausea, dizziness and excessive phlegm.

Allergic constitution: itchy skin, red spots and even blisters.

Diabetes: general weakness and increased excretion.

Neuralgia: pain in the affected area and numbness in the limbs.

Trauma and postoperative: edema or pain in the affected area is aggravated.

Neurasthenia: dizziness, heavy head.

(3) Why can't you take a shower after the experience? It's not sticky after sweating, but it's smooth and comfortable.

Answer: 1, because the sweat discharged by steaming is the fat sweat discharged from the fat layer, which is the best beauty product. The impurities evaporated are irreversible and will not be absorbed by your skin, but the clear liquid of sweat will reverse osmosis. After absorbing clear liquid, your skin will become delicate, smooth, firm, rosy and elastic. 2. At the same time, the electricity generated by negative ions can maintain the efficacy of 12 hours in human body. Once the body is washed with water, the negative ions absorbed in the body will disappear instantly, and the pores will be completely opened after steaming. There are many harmful substances in tap water, which will easily penetrate into your skin, which is not good for your health.

(5) Why do you say, "It's better to invite friends to eat than to invite them to sweat?"

The international health organization puts forward a standard that everyone should insist on aerobic exercise for at least half an hour every day, which is the most basic requirement. There is a popular saying now that it is better to invite people to eat than to invite them to sweat. For people with high work pressure, active sweating is too important. Many people don't realize the importance of sweating. Everyone knows that defecation is human instinct, but it is easy to ignore the problem of sweating. A person who does not sweat for a long time will be' poisoned'; Because many toxins in the body can't pass through the stool? You must sweat when you urinate. Therefore, healthy people call on everyone to really sweat once a week. Some people will say, who doesn't sweat? I often sweat in summer, and I usually sweat when I eat. This is different. There is an old saying in China; Eat for nothing, sweat for nothing. What do you mean? In other words, when people sweat while eating at room temperature (not in the sun in summer), it is a very dangerous signal and a sign of physical problems. Sleeping at night and night sweats are also very dangerous. Sweating at rest is easy to cause problems. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, sweating that we advocate is very precious. China Kung Fu star Jackie Chan is over 50 years old, in order to stay healthy. The way he runs in a disposable raincoat is unique, which makes his body sweat quickly. Sweating on his skin is equivalent to discharging a lot of garbage from our body. It is very dangerous not to sweat in our unique office environment. Modern people don't like sports or watching TV in an air-conditioned environment. Playing mahjong and video games, or watching the stock market as a whole, plus smoking and drinking, these unhealthy lifestyles must be changed. Some people say that we also have a good way to sweat, so it is better to take a sauna. In fact, she didn't know that their sauna methods were wrong, and the sweat steamed out was skin sweat, and the total amount was not enough. The real scientific sauna method is to steam and run in the sauna room, and foreigners sweat and get on the sports car while exercising in the sauna room. Or go to the gym for 45 minutes first, and then go to the sauna after sweating. At this time, sweating, especially sweating, is very large, which can really achieve the effect of strengthening the body. So isn't the sweat we evaporate in the steaming room still sweat? In fact, the way of steaming is to let negative ions and far infrared rays regulate the deep layer of the human body, promote the movement of a large number of cells in the human body and improve the circulatory system of the human body. The sweat discharged in this way is equivalent to the sweat produced by exercise, which is active sweat, beneficial sweat and healthy sweat. The sweat in the sauna room is skin sweat, while the sweat in the steaming room is sweat from the inside out, which can help you clean up a lot of garbage in your body, thus achieving the purpose of keeping fit.

40℃ is an important limit. Cardiovascular patients should be careful.

When the water temperature exceeds 40℃, the stimulation of the temperature to the body will be strengthened and the sympathetic nerve will play a role. Its function is to get the body and mind excited. For people with chronic diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease, it is a dangerous behavior that the water temperature is too high when taking a bath. With hot water washing, the capillaries of the whole body dilate, and a large amount of blood dilates the blood vessels on the body surface, and the blood of important organs such as the heart and brain is relatively reduced, which may lead to accidents such as myocardial infarction. bathtub

How long is the healthiest time to soak? According to the water temperature.

Bathing time depends on the water temperature, especially for people in poor health. Many people can't soak in hot water above 40℃ for a long time. Soak at water temperature above 42℃ for 3-5 minutes, at 40℃ 10 minute, and at 37℃ to 39℃ for 20-30 minutes. People in poor health should try not to soak in water when taking a bath. Measurements show that when an adult lets hot water reach his shoulders, the water pressure of his whole body will reach about 500 kilograms. This may make people feel uncomfortable in the heart and lungs, and the body is also burdened. You can soak your body in your ribs and keep your heart and lungs out of water. The heating effect of water temperature can stimulate the "continuous circulation in the body" system and promote blood circulation. Hot water can also promote sweat to be discharged from pores together with waste in the body, which has a cosmetic effect on the skin. A healthy person can immerse himself in water when taking a bath. The displacement of the body makes him lose weight, reduce muscle tension, relax physically and mentally, and improve his sleep.

Be wary of taking a bath after drinking.

Drink some wine and take a hot bath. That sounds beautiful. In fact, it is easy to cause cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular experts believe that after drinking, due to the accelerated blood circulation, the glucose stored in the body will be consumed in large quantities during bathing, resulting in a rapid drop in body temperature. At the same time, alcohol inhibits the normal physiological activities of the liver and hinders the recovery of glucose storage in the body, which is easy to lead to shock and can be fatal in severe cases. Therefore, Dr. Wang also reminded everyone that it is best not to take a bath immediately after drinking. "Some people mistakenly think that taking a hot bath can relieve alcohol, but in fact it will only aggravate heart ischemia." When you have dizziness, chest tightness, dizziness and other "bathhouse syndrome" during bathing, you should also stop bathing immediately and go to the hospital for treatment.

Take a bath to prevent "heatstroke"

Heatstroke is a disease characterized by dysfunction of thermoregulation center and disorder of water and electrolyte caused by high temperature. Many people think that heatstroke will only happen in the summer when the sun is shining, but bathing in winter may also happen. It is very cold in winter, and many people like to take a bath. In public bathrooms, if you take a bath for too long, you will feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness and even syncope. This is the same principle as heatstroke. The bathroom doors and windows are closed, and the indoor humidity is higher than the outside. At first, the human body was very comfortable, the muscles relaxed and the skin capillaries expanded for a long time. There is a lot of blood flowing on the body surface, the blood flowing back to the heart is insufficient, and the cardiac output is reduced, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the internal organs and is prone to syncope and other accidents. If you want to take a bath in the bath, you'd better take a bath in the warm pool first, and then transition to the hot pool. Slowly enter the water, starting from the lower limbs and gradually entering the water. Don't take a bath immediately after meals; Pay attention to ventilation in the bathroom; It is not advisable to take a bath during menstruation, pregnancy, hunger and drinking; Eat properly within 30 minutes after washing. When taking a bath "heatstroke", the patient should be transferred to a ventilated and cool place and take light salt water orally; Patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease, if they feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, can press Renzhong point, take quick-acting Jiuxin Pills and seek medical advice in time.
