Soak your feet in a high bucket and relax the meridians on your feet and calves through heat, thus speeding up blood circulation and improving blood supply to organs such as the heart and brain. With the continuous increase of heat, you will sweat slightly, which can dredge meridians, discharge cold and waste in the body, regulate body temperature and reduce virtual fire. In addition, the improvement of blood circulation has a very obvious two-way adjustment effect on blood pressure. So I suggest that my friends must spend half an hour relaxing and adjusting themselves after a busy day. Don't underestimate this half hour. As long as you stick to it every day and just soak your feet, you can live longer 10 years.
1. Method of soaking feet
Soak your feet in the bucket. Although the wooden barrel has good insulation effect, it is too heavy and expensive to use. You can buy a higher plastic bucket in the supermarket instead and heat the water while soaking. There are many electric footbath now. It would be better if they could be made higher and as deep as buckets.
Soak your feet
Most people will choose to soak their feet before going to bed, which is convenient and conducive to sleep. But if you have enough time, especially the elderly, you can soak your feet around 4 ~ 5 pm, that is, when the bladder and kidney meridians are the most vigorous, the effect of tonifying the kidney is the best.
Every time I soak my feet, I usually feel hot all over my body and sweat slightly. Even if you soak your feet, drink plenty of water and replenish water in time. It is best to drink warm water or ginger brown sugar water while soaking feet, so that more heat can be generated inside the body, and cold and dampness can be eliminated in time through sweating.
Children soak their feet mostly in winter or when they catch a cold, and they should also soak their feet and sweat when they catch a cold.
3. Foot bath water temperature
According to everyone's specific heat resistance, the temperature can be lower at first, then slowly add hot water and keep heating until the whole body is hot.
4. Why are some people not easy to sweat after soaking their feet?
People who have been soaking their feet for many years do not have this problem. Only people who have just started soaking their feet will have this situation. The reason is that the body is cold and wet. As long as you persist in soaking your feet and slowly eliminate the cold and dampness in your body, it is easy to sweat.
5. Why do some people feel uncomfortable after soaking their feet?
Some people will feel chest tightness and dizziness after soaking their feet for a long time. Because the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels in both feet are excessively expanded, and human blood flows more to the lower limbs, resulting in insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the heart, brain and kidney. People with this situation are basically patients with deficiency of both qi and blood. Such people will not only feel uncomfortable because of soaking their feet, but also because of foot washing. Because there is less blood in the body, there is more blood flowing to the feet and the main organs are ischemic. When I meet this kind of patients, I will tell them to spend less time soaking their feet, and at the same time pay attention to diet therapy, eat more foods that enrich blood and tonify kidney, and fundamentally change the ischemic situation. After listening to my instructions, the patient cooperated with foot soaking while increasing nutrition, and persisted for half a month to one month, so that chest tightness and dizziness would not occur after foot soaking again. At this time, the time and temperature of soaking feet will be gradually increased until they sweat slightly all over.
6. How should diabetics soak their feet?
Many reports say that diabetic people will cause blood sugar to rise after soaking their feet. I have met such patients, and I will tell them to rub the soles of their feet 100 times per foot after soaking their feet, so that their blood sugar will not rise again after soaking their feet.
7. Do you need anything to soak your feet?
It's best not to add anything to the water for soaking feet, because the drugs used for soaking feet are easily absorbed due to the action of heat. When the body is cold, you can add mugwort leaves to soak together, but you can't add them every day. Add 1 ~ 2 times a week, and add a handful of mugwort leaves. Remember, don't always add salt to the water for soaking feet, which will hurt the kidneys and easily cause edema all over the body. Many of my patients are recommended to soak their feet with salt water because they read some healthy newspapers, which leads to edema, endocrine disorder and aggravation of the original kidney disease.
People with severe beriberi can add vinegar to the water that soaks their feet, which can sterilize and relieve itching.
Keeping warm water to soak your feet all year round is a very good health care method. Don't always think about adding all kinds of Chinese medicines. If it is not suitable for your physical condition, it will be counterproductive.
8. Can I use it with other health care methods when soaking my feet?
Putting pebbles on the bucket to soak feet, while soaking, stepping on pebbles to massage, the effect is naturally good, but it is only suitable for young people, the elderly and patients.
When the elderly and patients soak their feet, because the body is mainly deficient in both qi and blood, under the action of heat, the more they massage their feet, the more they can draw blood down, while the massage of ears, head and arms can draw blood up, improve the blocked cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels and promote blood circulation.
For people with poor cervical vertebra, soaking their feet and hands together is very beneficial to the treatment of cervical spondylosis.
When you soak your feet until your body is hot, you will feel very relaxed and relaxed and free when you use heat to move your cervical spine, shoulders and back. Go to bed at this time, and you can sleep comfortably. After a long time, your body's immunity and resistance will gradually recover or even increase.
After years of clinical observation, I found that as long as the elderly persist in soaking their feet for many years, they have no obvious manifestations of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and no one suffers from cancer. So stick to soaking feet every day, accelerate blood circulation, and let all the cold in the body be discharged in time. Every day, the meridians can be made alive and connected, and then supplemented with diet therapy, so that people have no reason to get sick.
