Things to note when sweating at home

1. Must be accompanied by family members

When doing sweat steaming, it is done in a closed space with the doors and windows of the room tightly closed. Mothers cover themselves with more quilts. The room is not ventilated and the high body temperature for a long time is prone to hypoxia, which may cause fainting in severe cases. Therefore, when doing sweat steaming at home after delivery, there must be family members accompanying the mother to closely observe her condition.

2. Do not remove all quilts immediately after sweating

Most people cover themselves with a quilt when they do a sauna at home. However, the body temperature will rise during the sauna, and symptoms of hypoxia will occur, which is very painful. Therefore, many people are eager to remove all the quilts once the sauna is over. This practice is wrong. When the body temperature is high and suddenly feels cold, it is easy to catch a cold. The covering quilt should be removed in small and frequent amounts.

3. Don’t rush to take a shower after sweating

The body will sweat a lot when sweating. Some mothers want to take a comfortable hot bath to wash off the sweat after sweating. It is not advisable to do this. After sweating, the pores are open and it is very easy to catch a cold if you take a bath at this time, especially in the cold winter. You should wait until your body temperature returns to normal before taking a shower.
