Introduction
Steam bone therapy can generally improve blood circulation, promote inflammation regression, accelerate edema absorption, and relieve compression on blood vessels and nerves, thereby alleviating pain, eliminating numbness, and restoring function. However, it may also cause certain adverse effects on the body, such as lower back and knee weakness, dry mouth, and hot palms, and in some cases may lead to yin deficiency or kidney damage, thus negatively affecting overall health.

The potential risks of steamed bone therapy may include dry mouth, feverish palms, and similar symptoms.

Steamed bone therapy generally refers to a method that leverages the skin's absorption and excretion functions, raising the body surface temperature by 8–12°C or more. Through steaming the skin, muscles, and bones, it aims to expel pathogenic cold factors causing illness, improve blood circulation, promote inflammation resolution, accelerate edema absorption, relieve compression on blood vessels and nerves, thereby alleviating pain, eliminating numbness, and restoring normal function. Although steamed bone therapy offers various benefits, it may also pose certain health risks. For instance, if the treatment temperature is too high, patients might experience symptoms such as soreness in the lower back and knees, dry mouth, feverish palms, and in severe cases, yin deficiency or kidney damage, which could negatively impact overall health.

Steamed bone therapy has now been widely applied in the fields of beauty, weight loss, wellness, and treatment, with relatively significant results. However, if individuals wish to use this method to alleviate discomfort, it is advisable to do so under the guidance of a qualified medical professional to avoid harming their health.
