There are many ways to keep healthy, such as diet, exercise, massage and so on. Today I'm going to talk about soaking my feet for health.
Soaking feet is a kind of health care method that many people like very much, and the effect of relieving fatigue is very obvious. After a hard day's work, soaking feet comfortably is the most acceptable way for many people.
Of course, not only do you have to soak your feet, but many people also don't forget to "add some ingredients" in the water. When I say hello here, I naturally don't add all kinds of spices like hot pot, but mugwort leaves.
People in China must be familiar with Artemisia argyi. When I was very young, every Dragon Boat Festival, besides eating zongzi, every family would do one thing: insert wormwood in front of the door. It can be said that the efficacy of wormwood in eliminating diseases and evil spirits has been recognized by people since ancient times.
Therefore, mugwort leaves soak feet and even take a bath, which can naturally relieve illness and fatigue.
Is that really the case? There are many benefits of wormwood soaking feet.
Soaking feet with mugwort leaves can drive away the cold, especially in winter, people feel cold and their hands and feet are cold. When you soak your feet, you can obviously feel the effect of driving away the cold by adding some mugwort leaves. Some people belong to cold constitution, and their hands and feet are cold all year round, not only in winter. They often soak their feet with mugwort leaves, which can greatly alleviate such symptoms.
Artemisia argyi foot bath can also dehumidify, and high humidity is also a common situation for many people who do not pay attention to health care. Too much water not only shows that the balance of the body is destroyed, but also causes obesity. A considerable number of people's obesity is often caused by casual moisture. Soaking feet with wormwood has the function of dehumidification.
Soaking feet with mugwort leaves can cure beriberi, which is also a small problem that has long plagued people. It has brought trouble to people, and it is not easy to remove. It is troublesome to treat and the effect is not ideal. The ancients have explained the antiviral and antibacterial effects of wormwood leaves to us, so soaking feet with wormwood can effectively alleviate the symptoms of beriberi and may be cured for a long time.
There are so many benefits of wormwood soaking feet, and the method is also very important.
I believe that many people soak their feet with mugwort leaves by directly adding a handful of mugwort leaves to the soaking water and bathing mugwort leaves together with the soaking feet. This is wrong, it can't achieve the expected effect, and it also wastes mugwort leaves.
The correct way is to put the mugwort leaves into the pot and boil them for 10 minutes. This wormwood water is effective for soaking feet. Of course, it is not enough to directly mix water with this mugwort leaf water. To cool the water to a temperature that can be used for soaking feet, there is no need to add water.
The time for soaking feet is also particular. Although people usually soak their feet after meals, it is best not to soak their feet immediately after meals. Soaking feet immediately will accelerate the blood circulation of the body and affect the digestion and absorption of the stomach when it is working hard.
It's good to soak your feet with mugwort leaves, but you can't be too greedy. Folium Artemisiae Argyi has certain medicinal properties. Too much use of mugwort leaves to soak feet often leads to physical weakness and excessive internal heat, which is not worth the candle.
