1, promoting blood circulation. The foot has been considered as the second heart of the human body since ancient times. According to the health theory, the feet are farthest from the human heart and bear the heaviest burden. So this place is most likely to cause poor blood circulation. According to medical records, "a man with feet is still like a tree with roots. The roots are exhausted first, and the old feet are old first." Especially for people who often feel cold hands and feet, soaking feet with hot water is an excellent method.

2. Stimulate the acupoints, reflex zones and meridians of the foot. According to medical theory, there are reflex zones, acupoints and meridians on the feet of various organs and organs of the human body, and many people have done pedicure. Masseurs feel pain and soreness when they press their feet, which basically shows that there is something wrong with the viscera in the corresponding reflex zone.

Therefore, after the foot massage, you will feel relaxed all over. At the same time, there are six main meridians on people's feet, including the end points of three yang meridians (bladder meridian, stomach meridian and gallbladder meridian) and the beginning points of three yin meridians (spleen meridian, liver meridian and kidney meridian), all of which are on the feet. So soaking feet with hot water is equivalent to stimulating these six meridians.

3, it has a good auxiliary effect on the treatment of various diseases. Especially in modern society, the extensive use of air conditioners and people's general love of cold food make their bodies cold and wet. Soaking feet with traditional Chinese medicine can accelerate the elimination of cold in the body.

Enlarge the misunderstanding of data soaking;

1, Chinese medicine can turn it over several times. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is generally released after stewing twice. If it is the third stew, these Chinese medicines have almost no efficacy. Traditional Chinese medicine foot bath tablets belong to disposable products.

The longer you soak your feet, the better. This idea is also wrong. Generally, it takes 40 minutes for traditional Chinese medicine to soak feet, which can make the capillaries of feet absorb enough effective components of traditional Chinese medicine. It is easy to sweat when soaking feet for too long, and excessive sweating is harmful to the heart.

The hotter the foot bath water, the better. Many people choose high-temperature water when soaking their feet, thinking that high temperature is helpful to promote the absorption of Chinese medicine components and blood circulation. In fact, this is not right, because about 40 degrees is a more suitable temperature for people. If the temperature is too high, it will burn the skin, and if the blood circulation is too fast at once, it will cause blood to rush up, but it will cause discomfort and even collapse.
