With the prevalence of health preservation, many people begin to soak their feet before going to bed at night. What's more, they often spend money to soak their feet in foot massage shops. Moreover, soaking feet often is really beneficial to relieve fatigue, dredge blood vessels, promote blood circulation and ventilation, and it is a good way to keep fit. However, soaking feet with hot water alone usually doesn't have much effect. It is necessary to cooperate with some Chinese herbal medicines to activate the bones and muscles, and massage the feet at acupoints to achieve the greatest effect. But it is usually difficult for a person to do acupoint massage when soaking feet, so let me introduce three kinds of medicinal materials suitable for soaking feet first? Safflower, dragon's blood, angelica.

1. safflower safflower, also known as red and blue flower, is a kind of compositae plant, which mainly grows in Xinjiang and Tibet. Has the effects of dredging channels and collaterals, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and relieving swelling, and can also be used for treating female dysmenorrhea. Soaking feet with safflower can dispel the evil cold in the body, promote blood circulation in the feet, and have the effect of relieving fatigue and sleeping. It is suggested that friends who usually sleep badly soak their feet with safflower before going to bed, and they can sleep all night without dreams.

Second, dragon blood is bitter and peaceful. Mainly used for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. If you pay close attention to it, you will find it in many drugs for activating collaterals and removing blood stasis. It is suggested that friends with sprained joints and bruised feet soak their feet with dragon's blood to promote the dissipation of blood stasis and activate joint qi and blood.

Third, similar to safflower, mugwort leaves are both compositae plants, which can dispel cold and relieve pain, promote blood circulation and warm menstruation. When you soak your feet with it, you need to pay attention to boiling it in water, so that the medicine can be fully integrated into the water before soaking your feet. This medicine has a special effect on dispelling cold. It is recommended that friends who often have cold hands and feet use it to soak their feet in winter, so that the blood gas in their feet can circulate.

In addition to the above three herbs, Angelica sinensis, Pollen Typhae, Peach kernel and other herbs have the effects of promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals. You can try more and choose the herbs that suit you. I believe that after a period of persistence, the benefits of soaking feet will gradually emerge. I hope everyone can go out of their own way and stick to this good habit.
