If indoor doors and windows are closed for too long, the air will become turbid, which is conducive to the growth of various germs. The essence of ventilation is to replenish fresh air in a timely manner to keep the germ content in the air at a very low level. In this way, people in the house will not easily get sick. It is best to open the windows for ventilation once in the morning and afternoon, for about 15 minutes, and rotate each room.

Your feet are known as the second brain of the human body and have dense nerve reflex areas.

Soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed can relieve fatigue, relax nerves, promote sleep, and thus improve the body's resistance. The best temperature of hot water is around 45°C. The water can be heated continuously to the degree that the human body can tolerate. If it is too low, it will not have the desired effect.

We can use moxa water to fumigate it. The foot method can easily eliminate the first symptoms of a cold.

Take a handful of mugwort leaves and put them into a plastic bucket. Put a small stool in the plastic bucket, then boil a large pot of boiling water and pour it into the plastic bucket. The water level is lower than the surface of the stool, and the person sits on the chair. , put your feet on a small stool, wrap the bucket and lower body with a large blanket, try to be airtight, let the steam of moxa water slowly fumigate your feet, and gradually you will sweat all over your body. The entire process lasts approximately 2 hours. After the water temperature cools down slightly, wipe the sweat from the whole body and have a good sleep. Most colds will disappear.
