In folk medicine, sweating has been used as a means to alleviate the condition and even to treat many diseases.

Folk healers have known the role of sweating to normalize blood circulation, improve lymphatic circulation, eliminate fever, chills and chills and at the same time to remove swelling and toxins from the body. To cause sweating, they used the so-called diaphoretic herbs.

These plants are very useful for colds and inflammations to improve the general condition of the body. With the onset of colds, inflammation or exacerbation and fever, the body's defenses weaken, as a result of which sweating stops and blood circulation deteriorates. Plants, by increasing sweating in the human body, help to restore its defenses.

Their effects are as follows:

- profuse sweating;

- relaxation of tension in the human body, disappearance of joint pain;

- relieving the feverish state of the body and lowering the temperature;

- disappearance of irritations and skin rashes;

- removal of excess water from the body and removal of puffiness;

- help with headaches.

Everyone knows that increased sweating in the human body leads to increased excretion of metabolic products and toxic substances from the body that enter the body from the outside or are formed in it during various diseases. Disposal of toxins increases the body's strength to fight the disease.

Also, sweating facilitates kidney function, has a positive effect on liver function. Sweating herbs have also been used to relieve diarrhea and dysentery, as well as inflammation of the kidneys, bladder and gallbladder. They successfully remove pathogenic bacteria along with discarded fluids.

Sweaty tea often recommended for weight loss. It will remove excess water from the body along with toxins. This leads to improved metabolism and increased energy, to better absorption of nutrients.

When determining which or which herbs to use in a particular situation, several factors must be taken into account:

- for what disease (symptom) they will be needed;

- what is the general state of health of the person and whether there are other diseases;

- what is the overall action of the herb, what other processes in the body it affects;

- can the herb have a negative effect on other diseases of the patient;

- Does the herb have side effects and contraindications and can they harm the person who will take it;

- whether the patient has a tendency to allergies and whether he has taken this herb before.

The exact selection of specific herbs for a particular person and disease is very important. The goal is to help the healing process as much as possible without the risk of possible harm. Such a selection can be made by an experienced phytotherapist.

The diaphoretic effect is facilitated by the use of hot liquid. Therefore, herbs are recommended to be taken as hot tea (infusion or decoction). When taking a diaphoretic herbal drink, it is recommended that you then lie down and wrap yourself well to cause sweating. Then you need to change clothes and not be subjected to sudden temperature changes. These procedures are usually done in the evening.

The diaphoretics can be taken singly or combined in a diaphoretic mixture. Different diseases look for different effects of the mixture. For example, in respiratory diseases, herbs are selected that also have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and expectorant effects.
