1, different acceptance methods: foot fumigation refers to the efficacy of drugs on the surface of feet according to water vapor. Soaking your feet with hot water means soaking all your feet in water, so that the medicinal ingredients in the water can contact your feet immediately. The two ways of receiving drugs are different, and their functions are of course different. To sum up, soaking feet in hot water is faster than smoking feet to receive drugs.

2, the degree of acceptance is different: because in the case of hot water soaking feet, feet immediately come into contact with liquid medicine, so in the case of hot water soaking feet, you can add some other drugs, and at this time the feet will digest and absorb drugs much faster. Take smoked feet as an example, not only the acceptance rate is limited, but also the ingredients accepted are different.

2. Different points of use: The foot is the human organ with the largest number of acupoints and meridians in all the bodies, so it is extremely important to properly maintain the foot for maintaining physical and mental health. Because hot water soaks the feet and completely touches the water, some substances in the water will immediately exert pressure on the acupoints and meridians of the soles of the feet. It is not easy to smoke feet, and you can selectively touch acupuncture points after the water vapor rises.

Precautions:

When you can't determine the temperature of water when soaking your feet, it is recommended to try it with your hands instead of your feet, because your hands are more sensitive to temperature than your feet. For patients with diabetic foot, measure the temperature with a thermometer when washing feet to avoid scalding.

Massage the soles of feet: soaking feet with hot water before going to bed is especially suitable for cold syndrome, such as always being afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, accompanied by chronic diarrhea, dysmenorrhea, coronary heart disease, dysuria and other diseases. After soaking your feet, you can also massage the reflexes related to the soles of your feet, such as chronic prostatitis or prostatic hyperplasia, and massage the reflexes of the prostate and urethra.

Not suitable for patients with fever: not suitable for patients with fever to soak their feet, such as high fever, bleeding, hot mouth and dry tongue. It should be noted that some people are not sensitive to temperature, or suffer from diabetes and varicose veins of lower limbs. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the water temperature, because such patients are prone to complex peripheral neuropathy, and peripheral nerves cannot normally perceive the external temperature. Even if the water temperature is very high, they will feel late and pure, and they will be easily burned.
