As we all know, there are many acupoints on the soles of people's feet. You should soak your feet in hot water in summer. At this time, soaking your feet with hot water can make your feet feel slightly sweaty and drive away the moisture in your body.
Just like many people are still doing acupuncture or sticking stickers on the dog days, it is the same reason, but also to get rid of dampness. You can also soak your feet with some herbs in summer. If only hot water is used, the effect of removing moisture may not be so good.
You can add some traditional Chinese medicines, such as wormwood, honeysuckle and isatis root. These herbs are very cheap, but they can be soaked in hot water together, and the effect is very good. They can not only remove moisture, but also dredge meridians and expel toxins from the body.
In summer, because the air is hot and humid and there are many thunderstorms, it is easy to accumulate moisture in people's bodies. If there is too much moisture in the body, you will often feel tired and listless.
However, although hot water soaking feet is beneficial, there are also some points to pay attention to.
First of all, we should not blindly pursue "heat", that is to say, we should still control the water temperature. If the water temperature is too high, it is easy to burn the skin.
Second, the time for soaking feet should not be too short but not too long. If it is too short, it will not achieve the effect of eliminating dampness, but if it is too long, the skin will wrinkle easily. Therefore, half an hour is the best.
Third, use a special washbasin when soaking your feet. Some people use the same washbasin to wash their faces, shampoos and feet. In fact, this is very bad and easy to cause bacterial infection.
