First: relieve headache and promote blood circulation.
As we all know, there are many peripheral blood vessels in the foot. Soaking feet can dilate these blood vessels, let blood flow from head to soles of feet, and relieve headaches by relieving brain congestion. In winter, microcirculation is very insufficient. Soaking feet helps blood circulation to take away waste and supplement nutrition.
Second: lower blood pressure. The main purpose of soaking feet is to promote blood circulation throughout the body. For patients with hypertension, blood vessels will expand after soaking feet, and the mobility of blood in the body will be enhanced, which can reduce the occurrence of high-risk diseases such as hypertension, heart disease and stroke. At this time, the effect of lowering blood pressure will be more obvious if you continue to massage Yongquan and Taichong points.
Third: alleviate occupational diseases. People who work in many cities now think that the fast pace of life and high work pressure often lead to weakness of the spleen and stomach, insomnia and headache, which easily affects their normal work. So it is a good choice to soak your feet in your spare time. Friends who don't have time can do pedicure, and friends who have enough time can soak their feet at home and put them in hot water for 20 minutes, feeling relaxed and quickly eliminating fatigue.
Fourth: treat sleep disorders. Many people often have insomnia, dreaminess or wake up early. Soaking feet with hot water before going to bed every night can reduce the excitement of sympathetic nerves, effectively relieve nervous nerves and regulate the whole body's qi and blood. Long sleep will make people feel better and better.
Fifth: be able to keep fit. There are many acupoints on the foot, so the therapeutic value of this part is very high. There are also many acupoints. Soaking feet with hot water can not only accelerate the blood circulation of our body, but also stimulate these acupoints, strengthen the functions of various organs, and achieve the effect of health care. Generally speaking, it is advisable to soak your feet at 9: 00 pm. At this time, soaking your feet is the best time to tonify the kidney.
Finally, I would like to remind you of some matters needing attention in soaking feet. First, avoid excessive water temperature. Sometimes in order to pursue a long foot bath, the temperature of foot bath will be adjusted to a high level at first. In fact, this is not right, because when the water temperature is too high, our feet are often injured, which will not only have the good effect we said, but will often be counterproductive. Second, don't soak for too long. Many people like to play mobile phones while soaking their feet, which often causes the blood vessels in our feet to dilate and easily hurt our external skin. Third, not everyone is suitable for soaking feet. If you are pregnant, diabetic, varicose veins or arteriosclerosis obliterans, try not to soak your feet, otherwise the result will be counterproductive and affect your health.
