Is it really necessary to sweat at the full moon?
In recent years, full moon sweating is particularly "popular" among Bao Ma. It is said that it can dispel dampness and toxin, dispel cold in the body, and also treat postpartum headache, joint pain, muscle numbness, chills and other "moon disease". Is this full moon sweating really that magical?

Let's take a look at what "full moon sweating" is. Sweating at the full moon is actually after the second month of confinement, through some steaming instruments and Chinese medicine "sweating soup" to make the whole body sweat evenly. Covering the body with sweat can detoxify and cure diseases? Isn't that African brother much healthier than our Asian compatriots by sweating every day? Of course not! In sweat, the proportion of water is as high as 99%, and sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine and urea nitrogen add up to 1%. Sweating is about equal to drainage. How can it be linked to detoxification and treatment? Sweating is just a mechanism by which the body regulates body temperature.

Some people will say, "steaming is really comfortable!" It is really no problem for ordinary people to sweat comfortably, but it is very dangerous for pregnant women, and even fatal if it is serious. Is it really that terrible? Indeed, after giving birth to a baby, mothers usually sweat more easily than usual, which is a normal phenomenon in postpartum recovery. Originally, I sweated more than usual, and I had to "sweat" more with the help of external forces. Weak body, high temperature environment, it is easy for mother to dehydrate, causing skin infection and even heatstroke. Here, I'll give you a lecture on popular science. Heatstroke is a fatal emergency, common in severe heatstroke, which can lead to disturbance of consciousness, convulsion, abnormal liver function and renal function.
