Is sweat therapy really effective for psoriasis?

Sauna therapy indeed has a certain auxiliary effect in the treatment of psoriasis. Sauna therapy accelerates blood circulation and expands pores through heating, which helps eliminate toxins from the body, thereby assisting in the treatment of psoriasis to some extent. Additionally, sauna therapy can promote the body's metabolism, increase oxygen levels, enhance lymph circulation, accelerate the removal of heavy metals and toxins, and thus improve immune function. During sauna therapy, reduced sebum secretion helps maintain dry and清爽 skin, which can alleviate the common symptom of skin itching in patients with psoriasis. However, sauna therapy cannot cure psoriasis completely, and excessive sauna use may lead to skin symptoms such as redness and blisters, which are not conducive to recovery. Patients with psoriasis should use sauna therapy moderately and in accordance with medical advice when choosing it as an adjunctive treatment, combining it with other treatment methods for comprehensive management.
