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, making cold symptoms worse or reducing your stamina. [사진= 게티이미지뱅크]When I catch a cold and feel chilly and have muscle pain, I think of a sauna. I think she heard somewhere that ‘when she has a cold, the best thing to do is go to the sauna and sweat it off.’ Does she really think that taking a sauna when she has a cold will make her cold go away?
The human body regulates body temperature through sweat. When your body temperature rises above normal, sweat naturally comes out, lowering your body temperature. However, if you catch a cold, your body temperature regulation function does not work properly, so you do not sweat easily and your body temperature does not fall easily.
Some people go to saunas or jjimjilbangs to intentionally 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, making cold symptoms worse or reducing your stamina.
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 worsen cold symptoms. Therefore, when a child has a cold, it is recommended to be careful not to expose the child to cold air and only take a light shower for less than 10 minutes. Especially when a young child has a fever, it is recommended to simply wipe the child’s face, hands and feet with a wet towel.
