Master of Chinese medicine loves to soak his feet with Chili water.
Lu Guangshen, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, is over 80 years old, still full of black hair and full of energy. Speaking of keeping in good health, he recommends soaking feet with Chili water every night.
Lu Lao believes that soaking feet with Chili water can promote sleep more than soaking feet with hot water.
The method is simple. Wrap 50 grams of pepper with a piece of cotton cloth, tie it tightly with a string, boil it in water, and then soak your feet with this water.
Zanthoxylum bungeanum bags can be reused, and they need to be replaced every week.
Chinese medicine believes that Zanthoxylum bungeanum can dispel dampness and cold, warm the middle warmer and relieve pain. The effect of soaking feet with pepper water is similar to that of soaking feet with safflower and angelica, which can promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals and make the blood vessels of the body unobstructed.
In addition, soaking feet with pepper water can also help treat beriberi.
You can also add these "materials" to the foot bath water.
1, ginger: dispelling cold and relieving exterior syndrome.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger is a pungent, warm and exterior-relieving drug, which has the function of dispelling cold and exterior-relieving, and has less toxic and side effects.
Modern medicine believes that ginger can stimulate capillaries and improve local blood circulation.
People who are afraid of cold and easy to get cold hands and feet can soak their feet with ginger.
Method:
Prepare/kloc-0.5 ~ 30g ginger (about half a piece of ginger with the same head), pat it flat, put it in a pot, add half a pot of water, cover the pot, and cook for about/kloc-0.0 minutes.
After cooking, pour out Jiang Shui, and add appropriate amount of cold water to about 40℃ (generally it is better not to feel hot).
When soaking your feet, don't let the water pass over your ankles. You'd better rub your feet when soaking.
2, wormwood: improve lung function
Wormwood is also called "herb". According to Compendium of Materia Medica, wormwood is warm, bitter and non-toxic, and has the functions of restoring yang, regulating qi and blood, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold.
Soaking feet with wormwood can warm the lungs and resolve phlegm, which is very beneficial to patients with chronic bronchitis and people who cough up white phlegm easily.
Method:
Generally, 30-50g (a handful) of dried wormwood is boiled in water to soak feet, and the cooking method is the same as that of ginger.
Patients with severe cold and dampness can soak their feet with wormwood once a week.
You can also soak your feet with wormwood water and drink a glass of ginger and jujube water as an aid.
3, salt: sterilization and deodorization
Sometimes, due to wearing shoes all day, our feet may be stuffy and smelly, especially those who sweat easily.
At this time, you can try soaking your feet with salt water, which can deodorize and sterilize, prevent beriberi and keep your feet clean and smooth.
Method:
Pour half a cup to a cup of salt water into a foot bath filled with hot water and soak your feet for 20 minutes. It takes effect in two weeks
