Dr. Willie Ong Explains If There Is Truth In So-Called “Pasma” Or None
PASMA – Have you heard about this alleged condition? Dr. Willie Ong revealed whether ity is really real or not.
Undeniably, there are a lot of beliefs and ideas that are in contradiction with science and the field of medicine. Most of these beliefs and ideas, although not proven if it is really true or not, are passed on from generation to generation.
These beliefs continue to live and most people are no longer curious on their veracity. Let us take for example the so-called “Pasma”. Have you heard your grandmother or grandfather speak about it?
Allegedly, it is a condition that is a result of taking a bath or wetting the parts of the body right away after a tiring activity. It is also believed that it can be taken from taking a bath right away after basking under the intense heat of the sun.
“Pasma” is believed to be characterized by shaking and intense sweating. In a video during his appearance on TV5, Dr. Willie Ong revealed whether the alleged health condition is real or not.
According to Doc Willie, there is no such thing as the alleged condition in the field of medicine. No connection was also seen between wetting a part of the body when it is tired to its shaking and intense sweating.
The doctor stressed that shaking can be cause by a lot of factors including old age. It can also be a product of another health condition. With regards to the intense sweating, it is called hyperhydrosis.
Meanwhile, although the belief is not recognized in the field of medicine, Doc Willie stressed that there is nothing wrong to obey what the elders say for our safety. Based on the video, he stressed that taking a bath after exercising under the sun may not really be good for the body.
