If you force yourself to sweat while taking a sauna, the sweating process that fights viruses may be disrupted and your body temperature may rise further, worsening cold symptoms or reducing your resistance. [사진= 게티이미지뱅크]When I catch a cold and feel cold and have muscle aches, I think about the sauna. I think I heard somewhere: “When you have a cold, the best thing to do is go to the sauna and sweat.” If you really have a cold and you take a sauna, will it go away?
The human body regulates body temperature through sweat. When your body temperature rises above normal, you naturally sweat and your body temperature drops. However, if you catch a cold, the body temperature regulation function does not work properly, so you do not sweat easily and your body temperature does not drop easily.
Some people go to saunas or jjimjilbang specifically to sweat, but these attempts can actually hinder recovery from colds. If you force yourself to sweat while taking a sauna, the sweating process that fights viruses may be disrupted and your body temperature may rise further, worsening cold symptoms or reducing your resistance.
How about a bath? Is it okay to do this when you have a cold? Bathing itself is not bad, but exposure to temperature differences before and after bathing can make cold symptoms worse. Therefore, when catching a cold, it is better to be careful not to expose the child to cold air and only take a light shower for less than 10 minutes. Especially if the child has a fever, it is advisable to simply wipe his face. , hands and feet with a wet towel.
