Although fire therapy is effective, there are some important details to pay attention to. Some people enjoy having a drink, but they are unsure whether it is safe to drink alcohol after fire therapy. There are also other precautions to consider.
Can I drink alcohol after fire therapy?
No, you should not drink alcohol after fire therapy.
After having a drink, Ren Hui felt a sudden heat and redness in the face. A large amount of blood was concentrated in the brain and skin blood vessels. Fire therapy accelerates blood circulation and increases blood flow on the body surface. The cumulative effect of both factors leads to further increase in blood flow on the body surface, while blood flow to other parts of the body decreases, making it difficult for the body to tolerate.
What are the dangers of drinking alcohol after fire therapy?
1. Drinking alcohol after fire therapy can increase blood flow to the brain, which may cause headaches and high blood pressure.
2. Fire therapy causes the pores on the skin to expand. Drinking alcohol after fire therapy further enlarges the pores, making it easier to catch a cold.
3. Fire therapy accelerates blood circulation, speeding up alcohol absorption and increasing the likelihood of getting drunk.
How long should I wait to drink alcohol after fire therapy?
You should wait for 6 hours after fire therapy to drink alcohol.
After fire therapy, it is recommended to drink warm water to replenish body fluids and facilitate detoxification. Drinking alcohol can harm the liver and hinder toxin elimination. Therefore, it is not advisable to consume alcohol within 6 hours after fire therapy.
Precautions after fire therapy
1. Keep warm and avoid exposure to cold drafts after fire therapy.
2. Drink warm water after fire therapy and avoid cold water.
3. Avoid taking a bath immediately after fire therapy. Wait for at least 12 hours before bathing.
4. Avoid consuming raw, cold, and spicy foods after fire therapy.
Important considerations
In addition to avoiding alcohol after fire therapy, it is also important to note that fire therapy should not be done immediately after drinking alcohol. Fire therapy accelerates blood circulation and adjusts blood flow in the body, while the stomach and intestines require a large amount of blood supply and energy to metabolize alcohol. If fire therapy is done immediately after drinking alcohol, the blood rushes to the surface of the body where fire therapy is applied, reducing blood flow to the stomach and intestines, which is not conducive to alcohol metabolism. Moreover, alcohol consumption can also affect the effectiveness of fire therapy. If you have only had a small amount of alcohol, you can do fire therapy after 3 hours. However, if you have consumed a large amount of alcohol or are intoxicated, it is best to wait for 24 hours before doing fire therapy.
