? Foot bath is foot bath, which belongs to one of the contents of pedicure in traditional Chinese medicine and is also a commonly used external treatment. Soaking your feet with hot water can not only relieve fatigue, but also help you sleep. At the same time, adding traditional Chinese medicine to water can also play other roles. Soaking feet with hot water can improve local blood circulation, dispel cold, promote metabolism, and finally achieve the purpose of health care. Let's talk about the efficacy and function of hot water soaking feet first.

List:

1: Promote blood circulation: The foot has been said to be the second heart of the human body since ancient times. From the theory of keeping in good health, the foot is farthest from the human heart and bears the heaviest burden. So this place is most likely to cause poor blood circulation. According to medical records, "a man with feet is still like a tree with roots. The roots are exhausted first, and the old feet are old first." Especially for people who often feel cold hands and feet, soaking feet with hot water is an excellent method. Therefore, it is better to soak your feet every night. I suggest you soak your feet at night.

2. Promote sleep: soak your feet before going to bed. Comfortable water temperature can improve blood circulation, have a good effect on relaxing muscles and moving your legs and feet, eliminate the heavy feeling of your legs and feet, and also have a good relief effect on physical fatigue. In addition, soaking feet before going to bed can make peripheral nerves active, regulate endocrine system and autonomic nerves, benefit brain cells, stimulate cerebral cortex well, help sleep and relieve insomnia symptoms, which can be said to be better than sleeping pills. So those of us who can't sleep well can often soak our feet.

3. Adjuvant therapy: It has a good auxiliary effect on the treatment of many diseases. People often say that "the rich take tonic and the poor soak their feet", which shows the great effect of Chinese medicine soaking their feet. Especially in modern society, the extensive use of air conditioners and people's general love of cold food make their bodies cold and wet. Soaking feet with traditional Chinese medicine can accelerate the elimination of cold in the body.

The time for soaking feet should be about one hour before going to bed at night, and the time for soaking feet should be about 20 minutes. Soaking your feet is not only that the water does not reach your ankles, but at least your calves, because the water temperature can be maintained. If the amount of water to the ankle is too small, the water temperature cannot be maintained, and the purpose of soaking feet cannot be achieved.
