How to maintain your feet
Department? 1. The maintenance of the feet should be washed with neutral soap and soaked in soapy water for about 5 minutes. It is best to clean your toes with a good quality foot brush, which can better remove the dirt inside your nails than digging with a file tip and will not hurt your skin. Then check the sides and soles of the feet. If there is a particularly rough epidermis, gently rub it with a light stone or file to prevent corns or cocoons. Never scratch with a blade, it is easy to cut and cause infection. Dry thoroughly after washing, and then massage with maintenance cream or emulsion. If the soles of your feet often sweat, sprinkle some prickly heat powder or talcum powder. Finally, when trimming your toenails, you should keep them neat, and don't cut them along the curve of your nails, so as not to embed your toenails in the meat and cause pain. 2, the care of sweaty feet People with sweaty feet should change at least 2 pairs of socks every day. And wash your feet with soap and warm water in the morning and evening. After washing with warm water, you need to soak in cold water for a while. After washing, dry your feet thoroughly with a towel, apply methanol alcohol or deodorant spray, and then spray some talcum powder, which can alleviate the problem of excessive sweating. What we need to prepare is: dried peppers. Boil a pot of boiling water first, then take half a pot of cold water, and pour the boiling water into the footbath until the water temperature is slightly hot. Now put the dried peppers in warm water! About 5 dried peppers, broken and soaked in water, brought into the living room, put aside the kettle for standby, soak your feet in warm water and watch TV while soaking. But pay attention to the water temperature at this time. If the water temperature is a little cold, pour some boiling water into the basin. Be careful not to burn your feet. The way to beautify your feet is to soak your feet in warm water at 40 degrees Celsius for about 30 minutes. Dried peppers can quickly heat up your feet, burn leg fat and speed up blood circulation. You see, you will sweat after soaking for a while. After 30 minutes, take your feet out of warm water and wipe off the pepper water on your feet. The skin is much softer! Avoid wearing small shoes for foot care. Often wearing small shoes may not only deform the foot, but also wear out the hard skin of the heel or sole, even if you wear ordinary shoes in the future, you will feel tender. After a long time, it may also form "corns" and even cause skin deformation of toes or soles. Avoid dry feet without treatment, especially in autumn and winter, the skin on the soles of feet is easy to dry, peel and crack. If left untreated, the skin of the foot will further deteriorate, leading to whitening of the skin between the corns or toes, infection and suppuration. Therefore, you must not underestimate the dryness of the foot skin. Avoid wearing socks in spring and summer, because of soil and water or other reasons, it is easy to produce athlete's foot itching and pain, from peeling to itching. If you don't wear socks, it may not only lead to skin ulceration, but also spread mold to other parts of the body. Do not pay attention to foot massage. Ladies should pay attention to the shoe prints left by wearing sandals in summer. If you don't pay attention, it will not only damage the white and smooth skin on your feet, but even cause skin allergies and other undesirable phenomena. To this end, you can massage or rub your legs and feet properly to keep your feet normal. You can use foot bath to maintain your feet, that is, wash your feet with hot water. People's health has a lot to do with their feet. The health care function of feet on human body has long been studied by the ancients. Among them, "foot bath" has been passed down to this day with its simple and effective characteristics. Poets such as Su Dongpo and Lu You all mentioned the importance of foot bath, such as "My master advised me to wash my feet and sleep, so I stopped smelling the bells and drums when I fell down on the bed" and "My little grandson gradually got rid of the soup when I washed my feet and went to bed". Emperor Qianlong also believed in the regimen of "300 steps in the morning and a pot of soup at night". Medically speaking, the five internal organs of the human body have corresponding projections on the feet. Foot is the starting point of Yin San Meridian of Foot and the end point of Sanyang Meridian of Foot. There are more than 60 acupoints below ankle joint. If you often soak your feet with hot water, you can stimulate the acupoints of your feet, enhance blood circulation, regulate viscera, relax meridians and promote metabolism, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening your body and eliminating diseases. As the folk song says: "Spring, washing feet, the sun rises and takes off;" Washing feet in summer can dispel summer heat and dampness; Wash feet in autumn, moisten lungs and intestines; It is also reasonable to wash your feet and iron your abdomen in winter. There are many blood vessels in the soles of people's feet, and it makes sense to call the soles of feet "the second heart" in medicine. There are countless nerve endings connected with the brain on the soles of the feet, and there are acupuncture points leading to the whole body on the soles of the feet. There is a Yongquan point at the foot. Massage this acupoint has the functions of nourishing yin, tonifying kidney and nourishing the internal organs. Therefore, massaging the soles of the feet can promote blood circulation and regulate menstruation, strengthen the body, prevent premature aging, and be beneficial to health and longevity. Old people often massage the soles of their feet to prevent numbness and weakness in their legs and feet. When soaking feet, the water temperature should be around 40℃, and the amount of water should be over the ankle. Soak your feet for 5~ 10 minutes, and then massage your feet with your hands. Massage techniques should be correct, otherwise the purpose of getting rid of diseases and strengthening the body will not be achieved. After washing your feet with hot water, sit by the bed, lift your knees and put them on the other leg, and tilt them inward. Massage the left heart with the right hand and the right foot with the left hand, alternately until the local redness and fever. The movements should be gentle and consistent, light and important. At first, the speed should be slow, the time should be short, and then gradually speed up the massage after getting used to it. While massaging the soles of your feet, you should also move your toes more. The big toe is the passage of the liver and spleen. Exercising the big toe can soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, stimulate appetite, and play an auxiliary role in hepatosplenomegaly. The fourth toe belongs to the gallbladder meridian, which can prevent constipation and costal pain through massage; The little toe belongs to the bladder meridian, which is very helpful to correct the position of female uterus. Therefore, massaging the soles and toes after foot bath has a good health care effect. It is especially effective for neurasthenia, intractable numbness and spasm of knees and ankles, kidney deficiency, backache and leg weakness, insomnia, chronic bronchitis, periodic migraine, dysmenorrhea and renal insufficiency.
