What are the side effects of sweat steaming

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is a process of increasing blood and qi, but it will also cause the leakage of essence and qi. We must know that the increase of blood and qi can enhance one's own self-defense ability. Of course, it will also have certain side effects.

1. May cause male infertility

Although steaming has many health benefits, if men do it too frequently it may cause infertility. The reason for this is that the temperature of the sweat steam is relatively high, while the temperature of the testicles is 3-4 degrees Celsius lower than that of the human body. The testicles are not as sensitive to temperature as other parts of the skin, so the water temperature that the skin feels is appropriate may have already "burned" the testicles.

2. Easy to cause colds

After steaming, people often sweat profusely and all over their body. When you leave the steam room, once you encounter cold wind or lower temperature, it is easy for the cold air to invade your body, which can cause a cold in severe cases. Faced with this situation, people who like sweat steaming must bring a thick coat. Even if they still feel hot all over after sweating in the steam room, they should put on the coat to prevent colds.

3. People with weak constitutions are prone to collapse

Sweating consumes a lot of energy, and if you have a weak physical constitution, you may experience fainting. Therefore, people with weak constitution should shorten the steaming time.

4. Obesity rebound

Although sweat steaming can help lose weight. However, during the steaming process, a lot of energy will be consumed in the body. After the steaming, you may feel extremely hungry. At this time, if you eat a lot, you may experience obesity rebound.
