Ginger is warm in nature and has the functions of dispelling cold, warming body and promoting blood circulation. People who have a cold are often seen in Jiang Shui.

Second, when soaking your feet, you should also remember these three points.

1, foot bath also has its best time.

Although soaking feet is simple, there is also the best time to soak feet. First of all, don't soak your feet when you are full or hungry, because you can speed up the blood circulation in the process of soaking your feet. When you are full, soaking your feet is prone to mistakes and dizziness. In fact, the best time to soak your feet is around 9 pm, because this time is when the kidney meridian is weak. At this time, soaking feet is conducive to promoting blood circulation, enhancing body heat, accelerating blood circulation, and relaxing the kidneys after a hard day. Choosing to soak your feet at this point will naturally make people feel comfortable.

2, foot bath water is not as high as possible.

Some people think that the higher the foot bath water, the better the health care effect will be, and they are used to soaking their feet red, but this is actually wrong. The temperature of foot bath water is too high, which is easy to dilate the blood vessels of the feet. At this time, the blood of the human body will flow more to the lower limbs, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart, kidneys and brain, which will lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, if the temperature of foot bath water is too high, it will easily damage the sebum membrane of the foot, make the stratum corneum dry, and even chapped in severe cases, which will affect the health of the foot. Therefore, the temperature of foot bath water should not be too high, and it is generally recommended to keep it at about 40 degrees, and the foot bath time should not be too long, 15 minutes.

Class III and III people should not soak their feet.

1, people with diabetic foot. Because the skin of these people's feet is fragile, the peripheral nerves of their feet are not very sensitive to temperature. If the water temperature is not well controlled, it is easy to be scalded, resulting in foot infection, ulceration and even amputation.

2. People with venous thrombosis. This kind of people soak their feet with hot water, and when the blood vessels in the lower limbs dilate and more blood flows to the lower limbs, it is likely to aggravate the condition.

3. People with athlete's foot. If such people soak their feet with hot water, they will feel much more comfortable immediately and their itching will be relieved well. However, this practice will treat the symptoms, not the root cause, and even lead to telangiectasia and skin damage due to frequent soaking of feet with hot water, which will easily lead to bacterial infection and aggravate the condition.
