In the opinion of modern medicine, sweating can hardly play a role in detoxification. The sweat is mainly a sweating effect through high temperature, and the sweat is mainly composed of water, generally does not carry toxins, in the sweat can be called toxins, probably refers to the urea, uric acid, which is the metabolic waste produced by the normal physiological activities of the human body, but the amount of urea, uric acid through the sweat is very small, can not play a role in detoxification. For the human body, the main detoxification organs are the liver and kidneys, and the main metabolic channel is urine. The main purpose of sweating is to regulate body temperature, not detoxification. The concentration of uric acid in sweat can reach up to 35.7μmol/L. Assuming that the maximum daily sweating volume after strenuous exercise and sweating reaches 5L, which is unattainable for normal people, the amount of uric acid discharged through sweat is only 178.5μmol, which is very small and almost negligible; while the amount of uric acid normally discharged through urine is about 1500-4500μmol per day, which is 10-30 times more than the amount of uric acid discharged through sweat. Therefore, the effect of sweating to discharge metabolic waste is minimal. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, sweating can play a role in removing cold and dampness for patients with dampness and coldness in their bodies, which can be simply understood as detoxification, but this method is not applicable to all people, and what is removed is not toxins but evil qi, and the specific efficacy cannot be determined. So if you feel unwell, it is advisable to use herbal remedies and acupuncture under the guidance of a professional herbalist. It is important to note that because sweat is used to promote sweating, the human body in such an environment, blood circulation will accelerate, for the elderly and sick and weak people, may cause dizziness, weakness, weakness of the limbs and other discomfort, for hypertensive patients can lead to further increase in blood pressure, it is best to consult a doctor before sweating. For healthy people, if you choose to steam, you should pay attention to timely hydration, and it is best to steam for no more than one hour.
