How many times can you sweat during the full moon

After giving birth, women are very weak, and most women will have imbalanced qi and blood, so they need to recover through confinement. Usually when the child is one month old, the confinement is basically over. Pregnant mothers need to start sweating at this time. Sweating correctly can make their bodies healthier and is good for the body, but most people don’t know how many times to sweat after a full month?

How many times should I sweat during the full moon?

In fact, sweating during the full moon is to eliminate the cold evil, and it is fine as long as this effect is achieved.

You must be cautious when sweating during the confinement period. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, the body is relatively weak after childbirth, with pathological characteristics of deficiency, cold and blood stasis. Deficiency is mainly caused by yin deficiency, blood deficiency, yang deficiency and qi deficiency. If you sweat too much, the deficiency symptoms will be aggravated. Because sweat and blood have the same origin, and body fluid can carry qi, qi deficiency will inevitably lead to yang deficiency. Whether excessive sweating will lead to exhaustion varies from person to person. It is best not to sweat if you have not caught a cold, been exposed to wind or dampness after childbirth. This is a taboo.

It is recommended to choose sweating therapy with caution, as it is more difficult to regulate your body once it is weak.

What are the misunderstandings about sweating during the full moon?

1. The longer the sweating time, the better.

After giving birth, a mother is most likely to suffer from blood deficiency and blood stasis. Prolonged sweating will lead to loss of body fluids, which will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain and cause dizziness after sweating. If the time is too long, it will cause heatstroke, headache, etc., so the sweating time should not be too long! Sweating should be based on the specific situation of the mother. Do not think that you have spent money anyway, so you should stay a little longer. The housekeeper has even heard of cases of people getting heatstroke due to sweating in winter, which is not worth the cost.

2. The purpose of sweating is to expel water from the body, so don't drink water.

Sweating will cause the body's body fluids to be discharged. Of course, there are dehumidifying drugs in Chinese medicine sweat steaming bags, but it does not mean that you cannot drink water while sweating, nor does it mean that drinking water is not conducive to dehumidification. The housekeeper's advice is to prepare a large cup of warm water to ensure that the mother does not become dehydrated. We have encountered cases where mothers did not drink enough water and their milk supply decreased the next day.

3. To induce sweating, you must use rice wine or Jimo old wine.

It is a tradition for southerners to use rice wine during confinement and yellow wine to induce sweating. Modern science has proven that although alcohol can invigorate blood circulation, it can also inhibit lactation and can be passed to the baby through breast milk. Therefore, it is no longer recommended to give yellow wine or other alcoholic beverages during confinement. Especially for pregnant women who are intolerant to alcohol, it may sometimes cause drunkenness.

After reading the above content, everyone knows that how many times is best to sweat during a full moon. In fact, the number of times is not the key point, as long as the purpose of sweating is achieved. When sweating, you must pay attention to mastering the correct methods and techniques. If you sweat improperly, you may develop problems, and it will be more difficult to regulate your body at that time.
