After the skin of the foot is soaked in hot water, the microvessels dilate, the blood circulation increases and the metabolism is enhanced. The method of soaking feet has been popular all over the world, and the method of "foot reflex zone health care" has also been widely circulated all over the world.
Various organs of the human body have specific reflection areas on the soles of feet, inside and outside feet, instep and even legs. Once these corresponding areas are stimulated, they can stimulate human potential, adjust the unbalanced state, improve immunity, strengthen physique, prevent diseases and prevent aging.
Practice has proved that foot bath therapy can prevent and treat cold, allergic asthma, neurasthenia, hypertension, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, menopausal syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, phlebitis, vasculitis, sciatica, tinnitus, eye diseases and other diseases. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people suffering from arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, vascular disease, peripheral circulation disorder, peripheral nerve insensitivity, and decreased resistance.
Disadvantages of pedicure
When soaking feet, patients may feel dizzy because the blood vessels in the feet are heated and expanded, and the blood supply to the head is reduced. At this time, the foot bath can be suspended, and the symptoms can disappear after the patient lies flat for a period of time. You can also give patients cold water to wash their feet, so that the blood vessels in the feet can contract and relieve symptoms.

The role of foot bath
1, promoting circulation
Blood flows in the blood circulation system composed of heart and blood vessels, conveying nutrients and discharging waste. Promoting blood circulation is very important for health. Healthy people have a pair of feet, but have you ever thought about how much pressure your feet are under? A person weighing 68 kilograms will bear 260 kilograms of pressure on his feet every step.
On average, your feet bear 2.6 million kilograms of pressure every day. This number is equivalent to about 40,000 people stepping on your shoes.
In the human body, the foot is farthest from the heart. If the peripheral circulation of the foot is blocked, it will easily lead to poor blood circulation, which will lead to poor metabolism of tissues and organs in the whole body and decreased function. Foot massage can make the blood circulation of the foot smooth, promote the blood circulation of the whole body, accelerate the metabolism of the body, supplement nutrition, and make your body run healthily and normally.
2. Adjust the nerves
The nervous system is the main regulatory mechanism in the body. Nerve tissue is distributed in all parts of the human body and plays an extremely important role in controlling and regulating the activities of the body. The important and complex physiological functions of nerve tissue are all accomplished through reflex activities, and the basis for completing this activity is neurons.
Neurons ensure the internal unity of the body through reflex activities, so that the functional activities of various organs can better adapt to the changes of the external environment.
The foot is rich in nerve tissue. By effectively stimulating the plantar reflex zone, the functions of corresponding tissues and organs can be adjusted, so that the normal ones become stronger and the abnormal ones are improved and restored.
3. Shu Jing promotes blood circulation
Meridian has the function of connecting viscera and limbs. The internal organs, limbs, facial features, nine orifices and bones and muscles of the human body mainly rely on the communication of the meridian system to make the body coordinate and unify.
Meridian has the functions of activating qi and blood, nourishing the whole body, resisting external evils and defending the body. Meridian belongs to zang-fu organs, and the external collateral is connected with limbs, which connects zang-fu organs and body surface and connects human organs and organs into an organic whole.
