Sweating

Sweating is a vital process for us humans that is crucial for our health. It is harmful to our health to stop sweating completely.

Sweating cleanses our body and keeps the skin supple.
It is estimated that sweating and steam baths were an integral part of bathing culture in Asia over 4,000 years ago. Simple tents were heated with hot stones. The Greeks, Romans and Persians built veritable steam palaces equipped with highly complicated heating pipes. In addition to the relaxing effect, they also recognized the positive effect on the skin, respiratory tract and rheumatic complaints.

When sweating, the body excretes not only water, but also toxins and metabolic waste products such as urea, amino and acetic acid, lactic acid, mineral salts and toxins via the pores, which have penetrated through food, air and water. Cornified cells dissolve. The outlets of the sebaceous glands open, keratinized sebum softens, excess water in the connective tissue is excreted and the skin is deeply cleansed. If the sweat and sebaceous glands do not work sufficiently, the skin becomes dry, tends to flake and loses elasticity. The skin is often referred to as the third kidney due to its great ability to excrete salts and waste products.
