Pedicure principle
In fact, we know that Chinese medicine has always attached great importance to the health care and treatment of feet.
The five internal organs of the human body have corresponding projections on the feet. There are 12 meridians connecting human organs, 6 of which originate from the foot, which is the beginning of the foot's three yin and the end of the foot's three yang. There are more than 60 acupoints on the feet to communicate with the internal and external environment.
If you can insist on washing your feet with hot water before going to bed, you can stimulate these acupoints, promote blood circulation, regulate the function of viscera and relax the meridians of the whole body, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating diseases and pathogens, benefiting qi and removing blood stasis and nourishing vitality. Modern medicine believes that the foot is the "second heart" of the human body, and there are countless nerve endings in the foot closely connected with the brain, which is closely related to human health. Therefore, often washing feet with hot water can enhance the body's immunity and resistance, and has the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
