Is steaming suitable for children?

Most people must be familiar with sweat steaming, especially in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, which believes that human diseases are mainly caused by excessive accumulation of toxins in the body. Therefore, if you want to better cure the disease, the most important thing is to help the toxins in the body be excreted. Sweat steaming can excrete toxins from the inside out, so it is also popular among many people. However, sweat steaming is not suitable for all people. So, can children do sweat steaming?

Can children sweat steam?

The answer is no. The tourmaline steam room, which is popular nowadays, can produce far infrared rays that are beneficial to health. The health-care effect of these far infrared rays cannot be ignored. However, parents and friends who love steaming should be reminded that steaming is not suitable for children.

The reason why children are not suitable for sweat steaming is that their body temperature rises much faster than that of adults, which speeds up their metabolism. The rapid circulation in the body will increase the burden on the heart and it will be difficult to regulate the body temperature through sweating, which will harm children's health. Therefore, it is best for children not to do sweat steaming.

However, some people believe that the temperature in some steam rooms, such as some Korean steam rooms, is not too high and the effect is acceptable. There will be no serious effects on children doing steaming in these rooms. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so you may as well give it a try.

But finally, I would like to remind everyone that if parents really want to take their children to a sauna, they can first consult a pediatrician and follow the doctor's advice and guidance in this activity.

The harm of sweat steaming for children

1. Sweating will increase the burden on the heart and is not good for the health of children

The sweat steam room uses far infrared rays to raise the body temperature and promote sweating, thereby achieving the purpose of detoxification, weight loss and beauty. However, children cannot sweat steam because their body temperature rises faster than that of adults. This is the main reason why children's metabolism is faster than that of adults. However, if sweating is used to speed up the circulation in the body, it will increase the burden on the heart, and it will be difficult to regulate the body temperature through sweating, which will harm the health of children.

2. Reduce the body's disease resistance

The rapid relaxation of the human body by sweat steaming is actually slowly eliminating the body's functional defense capabilities, causing the body's disease resistance to decrease!

3. Steaming will affect children's growth and development

Sweating may also cause the loss of some nutrients in the process of expelling toxins, and children are in the stage of growth and development, so it is best for the body to utilize the nutrients absorbed into the body through various channels. Therefore, it is better for children not to go to the sauna.

Who is not suitable for steaming?

1. Elderly people should not sweat steam

Because the elderly are originally weak, if they sweat too much, they will experience electrolyte imbalance, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

2. People with Yin deficiency and damp-heat constitution

People with weak constitutions are not suitable for sweat steaming, because they are already weak and excessive sweating will make their bodies even weaker. Because sweat is a form of human body's Yin fluid, excessive consumption by people with Yin deficiency will further lead to Yin deficiency and blood deficiency, and will also have a negative impact on the heart.

3. Women during menstruation

Women who are menstruating should not sweat steam because sweat steaming can increase blood circulation in the body and can easily cause heavy bleeding in women.

4. Asthma patients

Asthma patients are advised not to do sweat steaming, because the oxygen in the sweat steaming room is thin, which has a serious impact on the breathing of asthma patients.

5. People with hypertension and diabetes

People with hypertension and diabetes should not sweat in the sauna room. The temperature in the sauna room is too high, which can easily increase blood pressure and blood sugar concentration.

In addition, pregnant women, patients with hyperthyroidism, heart and brain diseases, severe heart disease, heart pacemakers, tuberculosis patients, acute diseases, advanced cancer patients, high fever patients, malignant tumor patients, infectious skin diseases and other people who cannot tolerate high temperatures should not sweat steam.
