Although the brand of foot patch is different and the origin is different, most of them have the following similarities: it is composed of powder and perforated non-woven fabric; The main ingredients are bamboo vinegar, wormwood, bamboo charcoal and tourmaline. It claims to have the effects of eliminating dampness, expelling toxin, reducing fat, improving insomnia, relaxing muscles and activating collaterals. Most of the comments given by buyers are "powder will turn into black paste", "body sweating" and "water toxin discharge".
Whether the powder turns black due to chemical reaction or not, it doesn't mean that the powder turns wet and black is dehumidification or detoxification. Damp pathogen involves many aspects, such as greasy tongue coating, stomach discomfort, loose stool, limb pain or edema, etc. Whether it can be eliminated depends on clinical symptoms.

The meaning of poison is very wide, including heat poison, wet poison, wind poison, drug poison, snake poison and so on. It is enough to distinguish what kind of poison is "discharged" and where the "toxin" comes from. Among the main components of the foot patch, wormwood, also known as wormwood leaves, is warm in nature, which can warm the channels for hemostasis by oral administration, warm moxibustion can warm the channels for dredging collaterals and relieve pain, and external use can dry dampness and relieve itching, so it is a commonly used Chinese medicine.
Bamboo charcoal, bamboo vinegar and tourmaline are rarely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Even if it is proved that the drug has thick plantar skin and poor drug penetration, it is hard to say whether external use can achieve the expected curative effect of advertising.
