Health care for old Chinese medicine practitioners in winter
I don't know if you often soak your feet. Soaking feet is a very good way to keep fit, and it is very simple and easy to do. Especially in cold weather, soaking feet is really comfortable. Some old friends soak their feet every day in order to make themselves healthier. Is this method right or wrong? Is soaking feet every day for health preservation or suicide slowly? Soaking feet is indeed a method of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine, but it is not suitable for everyone. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is an organic whole, with the twelve meridians and eight strange meridians. Among them, our feet are the starting points of the foot three yin meridians and the foot three yang meridians.

If you wash your feet with warm water, the stimulation of water temperature will naturally affect these six meridians (similar to the principle of acupuncture stimulating meridians) and affect the human body. However, Chinese medicine believes that this effect is more positive than negative. Soaking feet with hot water for a long time can not only prevent colds and indigestion, eliminate fatigue and promote blood circulation, but also treat insomnia, migraine, neurasthenia and other diseases. Soak your feet correctly. Generally speaking, you can soak your feet for an hour after a meal. When soaking feet, the water temperature is controlled at 40℃ ~ 45℃ and the soaking time is 20 ~ 30 minutes. At the same time, if the water temperature is low, you can add some hot water to raise the temperature.

Remember to dry your feet with a towel in time after soaking. Let's take a look at the reasons why hot water is comfortable for soaking feet. People who soak their feet with hot water think that hot water can bring a very comfortable experience. The reason for this feeling is the vascular structure of our lower limbs. Arterial blood circulates from the heart to the feet, then through capillaries, and finally returns the metabolites in the blood from the veins to the heart. If your feet are in hot water, it is easy to accelerate the blood flow of blood vessels in lower limbs due to the stimulation of hot water.
