Diaphoretic

Diaphoretic is a medicinal activity that promotes sweating. It is used to help the body cool down, flush out toxins and reduce fever. Diaphoretic medicines are typically made from herbs, spices, fruits and other natural sources. They can be taken orally or applied topically to the skin. When taken orally, diaphoretic medicines work by increasing the body's core temperature, which causes the body to sweat more. This sweat contains toxins that are released from the body. When applied topically, the diaphoretic medicine causes increased blood flow to the surface of the skin, which causes sweating and a cooling sensation. Diaphoretic medicines are often used to treat colds, flu, fever and other illnesses. They can also be used to reduce inflammation and pain.
