Foot bath, as a traditional external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, is a good way to relieve people's minds and release pressure, which is suitable for all ages. In the culture of traditional Chinese medicine, foot bath therapy has a long history, which originated in ancient China and is the knowledge and experience accumulated in long-term social practice. It has a historical tradition of more than 3000 years.

The ancient book once described that "washing feet in spring, rising sun, go;" Washing feet in summer can dispel summer heat and dampness; Wash feet in autumn, moisten lungs and intestines; Washing feet in winter makes dantian warm. "Many doctors also give positive comments on foot bath culture, such as:

Su Dongpo said: "The effect of hot foot bath was not very good at first, but it lasted for more than a hundred days, and the effect was immeasurable. It is a hundred times more effective than taking medicine. " He wrote in his poem: "My master advised me to wash my feet and sleep peacefully, so I stopped smelling the bells and drums when I fell on the bed."

Lu You said, "It's so fast to wash your feet and sleep. Your little grandson is getting rid of the soup. "

The founder of the Qing Dynasty's external treatment method said in the Theory Parallel Prose: "When you lie on your feet, all three yin starts from your feet, which means that cold enters from the heart of your feet. The reason why you are warm is that the yin is cold. "

Anonymous: "It's not surprising to get up in the morning and wrap your skin before going to bed." It can be seen that in the long river of history, soaking feet has always been sought after by health people.

But now an interesting phenomenon often appears. With the appearance of shower, many of our male friends no longer enjoy the fun and comfort brought by foot bath, and often just wash their feet by taking a bath. So, does foot bathing have any special effect on male friends? And will you pick up our foot bath culture after watching it in front of the screen?

Foot bath has a series of health care functions, such as improving sleep, eliminating fatigue, eliminating sub-health and enhancing human resistance, mainly through the warm, mechanical and chemical effects of water, as well as the fumigation and washing treatment of medicinal steam and liquid medicine.

The influence of foot bath on men's health mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Improve blood circulation: Foot bath can improve blood circulation of feet. The warming effect of water can dilate the blood vessels in the foot and raise the skin temperature, thus promoting the blood circulation in the foot and the whole body. As we all know, the erection of male penis is closely related to vascular function and blood circulation, and the whole body blood runs unimpeded, which can play a certain role in male sexual function. Soaking feet with salt water properly can warm the kidney and help yang to a certain extent, thus achieving the role of "helping";

2. Promote metabolism: Foot bath can promote blood circulation of feet and whole body. Due to the increase of blood circulation, the endocrine function is regulated, so that endocrine glands secrete various hormones and promote metabolism.

3. Eliminate fatigue: The biggest function of foot bath is to eliminate fatigue. The ancients have already concluded from practice that hot foot bath can eliminate fatigue and thus improve mental state.

4. Improve sleep: Foot bath can improve sleep by promoting blood circulation of feet and whole body, accelerating blood flow, removing foot deposits and fatigue substances in the body, and eliminating fatigue.

5. Regulating blood pressure: Foot bath can dilate arterioles, veins and capillaries in the feet and the whole body, restore autonomic nerve function to normal state, improve sleep and eliminate insomnia, thus lowering blood pressure and relieving the conscious symptoms of hypertension.

Although many of the above effects are applicable to both men and women, the occurrence and development of male diseases are often associated with some of the above symptoms, such as poor blood circulation, fatigue, insomnia, hypertension, slow metabolism, etc., which often have a certain impact on sexual function and cause prostate diseases.

Although foot bath has a certain effect on men's health, and there are many medicine bags on the market now, if you really need to use certain drugs when soaking your feet, I suggest you come to the hospital and let the doctor choose the right foot bath prescription according to your own physique.
