Why do I feel weaker after fire therapy?

Fire therapy is now a popular trend for people living in urban areas. The advertising slogans of fire therapy are to promote qi and blood circulation, help the body detoxify, relieve insomnia, remove moisture from the body, etc. So many people are willing to try it, and some people will follow the trend even if they have no health problems. However, some friends feel weak and sweat frequently after fire therapy. What is the reason?

Physiological sweating

Fire therapy utilizes the heat from burning alcohol and the principle of air convection to stimulate acupuncture points and diseased areas. Through the conduction of meridians, the medicinal power penetrates into the body from the acupuncture points and skin, improving blood circulation and unblocking meridians. Whether or not you sweat during fire therapy is related to your personal constitution, just like in the hot summer, some people sweat profusely with the slightest movement, while others don't sweat much. For people who sweat easily, the heat from burning alcohol during fire therapy will cause the body surface temperature to rise, the pores to expand, and the heat to be discharged from the pores, resulting in sweating.

Pathological excessive sweating If the body has heavy moisture, due to the effect of body surface heat and air convection, part of the moisture in the body will be converted into sweat and discharged, so sweating will be excessive.

Is it good to sweat a lot during fire therapy?

Fire therapy uses heat to promote sweating, so does it mean that sweating more during fire therapy is good? Whether sweating more during fire therapy depends on the situation. It is good for people with heavy moisture in their body to sweat more. Fire therapy has the effect of removing moisture. If a person has moisture in his body, after fire therapy, the moisture in the body will be discharged in the form of sweat. Sweat is sticky, and you will feel relaxed and energetic after sweating. Therefore, sweating more is naturally beneficial.

Excessive sweating is not good for people with weak bodies. If you have a poor physical constitution and are thin, and you sweat profusely after fire therapy and feel weak and sleepy, then this excessive sweating is not good for your health and you should stop sweating in time.
