Can I take a sauna while breastfeeding? Are there any benefits?

The lactation period is a critical period when women need enhanced care. A little carelessness may reduce the amount or quality of milk secretion, so you must be careful no matter what you do. Everyone knows that sauna baths have become more and more popular and have excellent effects on human health. Some breastfeeding women want to go to the sauna. Is it really possible to do so? Are there any benefits to yourself?

There are two different types of saunas: dry steam and wet steam. Taking a sauna is now a fashionable way of leisure. Due to its many benefits, more and more people like to take a sauna bath. Especially for women, sauna bath can not only help them lose weight, but also help to beautify their skin. For women who are breastfeeding, it is possible to take a sauna, which will not have an adverse effect on the secretion of milk.

Sauna bath has the dual functions of cleansing the skin and treating diseases. During the steam bath, the skin blood vessels expand significantly, sweating occurs profusely, blood circulation is improved, and sweat excretion helps to eliminate waste from the body, so that various tissues in the skin get more nutrition. It has different degrees of therapeutic effect on many skin diseases such as ichthyosis, psoriasis, and pruritus. Sauna bathing is conducted in a static and high temperature environment. It consumes subcutaneous fat through a large amount of sweating, allowing you to lose weight easily and comfortably. A 10-minute sauna session is equivalent to a 10-kilometer long-distance run, so it has the effect of bodybuilding and weight loss. In addition, when the body sweats profusely to eliminate subcutaneous dirt, the permeability of epidermal cells can be increased. During the sauna process, the body continuously absorbs the health-promoting trace elements emitted by the unique rocks on the stove, which has the effect of preventing diseases.

After reading this, I believe you can go to the sauna without worrying about any adverse effects. On the contrary, it can bring you comfort and other benefits. However, if a woman is still in the confinement period, she must avoid going to the sauna, otherwise it may affect the body's normal recovery and even cause confinement diseases.
