There is a scientific basis for pregnant women to sweat at full moon. Because women have experienced this process of tension, pain and fatigue, their muscles and bones are wide open, their vitality is insufficient, their vitality has not recovered, and their physical resistance has declined. The amount of maternal activities in the whole month is very small. Most people are afraid to wash their hair and take a bath, so that some metabolites attach to the epidermis. During confinement, there are many home visits, and the parturient is particularly vulnerable to bacteria or viruses. If she is not careful, she may catch cold, and exogenous pathogens such as wind, cold, dampness and heat will invade the human body. During the recovery period of confinement, the bones and muscles will gradually close, and the cold will be trapped in the body, which will lead to many diseases such as postpartum rheumatism.

Second, the benefits of sweating during the full moon.

1. Eliminate moisture and cold in the body.

When a woman gives birth, because her bones and muscles are wide open, her body is deficient in vital energy and her resistance is reduced, and exogenous evils such as cold and summer dampness will invade her body. In the recovery period of the second month, her bones and muscles will gradually close, making it difficult to expel the cold. After the full moon, sweating at high temperature can promote blood circulation, activate metabolism, clean the body, stretch the body and drive away the dampness and coldness in her body.

2. Dredge the meridians of the whole body

Full moon sweating can make the whole body ruddy and expand pores, thus clearing away heat and toxic materials, expelling wind and removing dampness, dispelling cold and warming channels, and quickly blocking the onset links. It has a good effect on puerperal diseases (postpartum headache, lumbago, joint pain all over the body, muscle soreness, lump, numbness, pain, chills and other diseases).

3. Promote blood circulation

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that postpartum sweating not only activates the whole body organs, but also has the functions of regulating nerves, dilating peripheral small blood vessels and improving microcirculation system. Sweating through the full moon can not only excrete the killed bacteria and viruses, but also promote blood circulation, strengthen the phagocytic function of cells, balance human body functions, and achieve the effects of invigorating qi and blood and enhancing immunity.

expel toxin

Sweat contains a natural antibody called "dermatan" protein, which can kill harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, thrush yeast and so on. Bacterial viruses can be excreted by sweating at the full moon.

slim

After the full moon, the parturient can excrete excess water and liquid in the body through sweating to relieve edema, and sweating can accelerate metabolism and decompose fat, thus achieving the goal of slimming after childbirth.

Third, the disadvantages of full moon sweating

Excessive postpartum sweating will lead to the loss of body fluids, which will easily lead to many diseases such as abnormal urination, difficulty in defecation, insufficient milk secretion, etc., especially in hot summer, forced postpartum sweating will easily lead to collapse, heatstroke and even life-threatening.
