What is the most effective drink for sweating during the full moon?

It is a misunderstanding to sweat during the full moon.

Sweating is a physical phenomenon, not for detoxification

In fact, sweating is a way for our body to regulate itself. Especially in summer, sweating is normal and can be Play the role of evaporation and cooling. Many confinement centers and beauty salons all claim that sweating during the full moon can detoxify. If postpartum women agree with this view, they are really "scammed." Because sweating is a physical phenomenon, and there are no toxins in sweat, 99% of it is water, and the remaining 1% is a small amount of urea, lactic acid, fatty acids, and electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, and chlorine.

So, doctors say that it is unscientific to use sweating, the body's normal metabolism, to achieve "detoxification".

First, it can easily cause the body's temperature regulation function to become imbalanced, resulting in excessive accumulation of heat in the body, thereby damaging nerve organs. Especially in such hot weather, it can easily lead to severe heatstroke and even life-threatening "heat stroke".

Second, during the process of sweating at high temperatures, women will sweat a lot and fail to replenish water in time, which will cause a large amount of sodium and potassium ions to be lost. Potassium is an important element in maintaining water and salt metabolism in our bodies. Once the human body lacks this element, it will cause dizziness, weakness in the limbs, and in severe cases, respiratory muscle paralysis and death. A lack of sodium can lead to low blood pressure, nausea, and loss of appetite. Once these two elements are seriously missing in the human body, electrolyte disorders will occur, and the harm to the human body cannot be ignored.

Let’s talk about the saying that sweating during the full moon can cure “confinement disease”. This view is generally a gimmick for postpartum care centers or beauty salons to attract business, and it is also a traditional view of postpartum care that some elderly people insist on. But actually, sweating during a full moon is really not that amazing.

Of course, the body is weak after childbirth and is prone to wind and cold. Proper sweating can drive away the cold, but it cannot cure "confinement disease". Like leg pain and waist pain, some are caused by overexertion during confinement, but not all are caused by catching cold. However, after sweating, if you don't pay attention to wiping the sweat in time and changing clothes that are soaked with sweat, you will easily catch cold. Moreover, Chinese medicine believes that people who are physically weak are not suitable for diaphoresis, and most postpartum women who are physically weak fall into this category. Moreover, even if you sweat for a full month, you will still have waist and leg pain due to calcium deficiency and osteoporosis in old age.
