Guide: We all know that foot bath health care has many benefits. But most people think that foot bath is only suitable for winter, wrong! In fact, the health care function of soaking feet in summer has not weakened at all. As long as you learn to add some "ingredients", you can prevent diseases and relieve summer heat!

First, Wuzhitao, Nanqi and Flemingia philippinensis are beneficial to invigorating qi and promoting fluid production.

Sweating a lot in summer is easy to consume gas and hurt body fluids. Therefore, it is best to add drugs that benefit qi and promote fluid production when soaking feet. American ginseng is the best medicine for invigorating qi, but its cost is high. You can choose cheaper drugs, such as Syzygium pentaphyllum, Radix Astragali, and Radix Flemingiae.

Second, watermelon Cui Yi, lotus leaf and Ophiopogon japonicus relieve summer heat and nourish yin.

Summer needs to relieve summer heat and nourish yin. You can soak your feet with watermelon Cui Yi (a very green layer on the surface of watermelon, which can be used as medicine), lotus leaf (lotus leaf is better), Ophiopogon japonicus and other drugs to achieve the effect of relieving summer heat.

Thirdly, Rhizoma Dioscoreae Septemlobae and Poria cocos can eliminate dampness and nourish the heart.

For people who are wet and sleepy, you can soak your feet with herbs and poria cocos, which has the function of eliminating dampness, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves. It is advisable to soak your feet in the morning or before going to bed at night.

Fourth, a small amount of wormwood warming meridians.

Wormwood is the most commonly used foot bath medicine, but wormwood has a warming effect and is more suitable for use in winter. Using wormwood in summer is also helpful for warming meridians and dredging collaterals, but a small amount is enough. It is not recommended to soak your feet with a lot of wormwood in summer.
