What is a Diaphoretic?
Diaphoretic is an herbal action that induces perspiration/sweating in order to normalize the body temperature and relieve fever. This action is also employed for the management of health and to prevent diseases that occur due to the accumulation of excessive waste and moisture in the body. It includes the diseases of various organs, such as the brain, heart, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, musculoskeletal, skin, kidneys, and the cases that involve bites and poisoning.
Diaphoretic herbs urge the sweat to come out through the skin pores and expel the diluted waste products. These herbs can be applied topically as embrocation or orally as decoction and tinctures.
