Second, stimulate acupoints, reflex zones and. Many people have had pedicures. When masseurs press our feet, they feel pain and soreness. This situation can basically explain that there is something wrong with the internal organs of our corresponding reflex zone. Therefore, when we finish the foot massage, we will feel relaxed all over. At the same time, there are six main meridians on people's feet, including the end points of three yang meridians (bladder meridian, stomach meridian and gallbladder meridian) and the beginning points of three yin meridians (spleen meridian, liver meridian and kidney meridian), all of which are on the feet. So soaking feet is equivalent to stimulating these six most important meridians.
Third, it has a good auxiliary effect on the treatment of many diseases. It is often said that "the rich take tonic, while the poor soak their feet". It can be seen that soaking feet plays a great role. Especially in modern society, the extensive use of air conditioners and people's general love of cold food make their bodies cold and wet. By soaking your feet, you can accelerate the discharge of cold in your body.
Many people who have soaked their feet have this experience. When they soak their feet, their knees will feel very cold, indicating that the cold and dampness in their bodies are being forced out of their bodies by hot water and traditional Chinese medicine. So if you catch a cold, sometimes you don't need to take medicine, soak your feet and sweat.
There are still many people with high blood pressure. If they soak their feet for a long time, the blood circulation at the ends of their limbs will be improved, so their blood pressure will gradually drop. In short, if you understand the truth and do it yourself, the benefits of soaking your feet are only clear to you. So how do we soak our feet correctly?
How to soak feet correctly
How is this correct? How about soaking feet? Below I will provide you with a method that we have used for many years.
First of all, choose the right foot bath bucket.
Since it is a foot bath, it is necessary to embody the word "bubble". "Bubble" here means more water, enough heat and a long time. You can't take a basin and put some water in it. That won't do. At most, I wash my feet, not soak them.
The right choice is to buy a deep wooden barrel that can put the whole calf in. Why choose wooden barrels? First, it is easier to keep warm, and second, it is close to nature. Someone told me that the liver governs wood and the kidney governs water. Such bubbles can help detoxify the liver and kidney. Whether it really makes sense, I have no way to prove it. Anyway, I soak my feet in wooden barrels, which is more comfortable than plastic barrels.
At present, this kind of foot-soaking bucket is available in Meibo City, zhushikou, Beijing, and the price is relatively cheap. When I bought it two years ago, it was only 50 yuan each, but one of our netizens went there two days ago and told me that the price has long been history, and now it is more than 100. Then let's use your skill and cut it door to door. When you are finished, tell me how much you bought. In fact, some furniture cities also sell them, which is a little more expensive.
Second, choose heating equipment.
This kind of foot bath bucket sold in the market has no heating equipment, so when we soak our feet, sometimes we feel that the water is cold, and we have to heat the water, because we need someone to help us, which makes us feel more troublesome. I thought of a simple way, that is, to quickly heat it with boiling water and put it in a bucket as a heating device, which is simple and economical. However, some netizens may think that this will not leak electricity and will not burn. I think it may be a little dangerous, but I have used it for more than two years. As long as I pay attention, I haven't found this problem. If you are not at ease, you can take your feet out when you heat them and put them back when you heat them.
