Although winter is very cold, it is a good season for tonic. Many elderly people take supplements in winter and keep in good health in winter, so keeping in good health in winter is a topic worthy of attention. Today, we will talk about what the elderly should pay attention to in pedicure. What are the traditional Chinese medicines for soaking feet in the elderly? Hot foot bath has a wide range of applications, including rheumatism, spleen and stomach diseases, insomnia, headache, cold and other systemic diseases, paraplegia, brain injury, stroke, lumbar disc herniation, nephropathy, diabetes and other rehabilitation treatments. Insisting on scientific pedicure can often get twice the result with half the effort to alleviate all kinds of occupational diseases that modern urbanites are prone to. "It is better to take tonic to wash your feet with hot water". ? Immerse your feet in hot water at about 40 degrees Celsius, and the headache will be obviously relieved after about 15 ~ 20 minutes. This is because the blood vessels in both feet dilate and blood flows from head to foot, which can relatively reduce brain congestion and thus relieve headaches. For the headache caused by cold and fever, soaking feet with hot water can also help reduce the fever. If you can massage Yongquan point and press Taichong point while soaking your feet, it will also help to lower your blood pressure. Pay attention to the following four aspects when soaking feet: Method: It is best for the elderly to soak their feet in a wooden bucket with a deep bottom area, so that they can be comfortably flat and let the water soak all the way to their calves. ? The water temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius, so hot water should be replenished at any time. Use massage foot bath with caution: because Chinese medicine massage mainly stimulates local acupoints to achieve therapeutic effect, but the water flow of massage foot bath is not strong enough and the stimulation area is large, so it is difficult to achieve the effect. In addition, the material of massage footbath is complex, and chemical reaction may occur after adding Chinese medicine. Time: First of all, we should pay attention to the time of soaking feet, not too long, at most half an hour, otherwise the local blood circulation of soaking feet for a long time will be too fast, which will cause relative ischemia in other parts of the body, especially the elderly may faint due to insufficient blood supply to the brain. ? In addition, it is not advisable to soak your feet within half an hour after a meal, otherwise it will affect the blood supply to your stomach, which will lead to malnutrition in the long run. Medication: At the same time of soaking feet in hot water, if Chinese medicine can be added to hot water, it can also play a multiplier role in health care for some elderly patients with chronic diseases. For example, the elderly with qi deficiency can choose Dangshen, Astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala and other qi-invigorating drugs. Patients with hypertension should soak their feet with chrysanthemum, medlar, mulberry branch, salvia miltiorrhiza and borneol. ? Some elderly people need to promote blood circulation and tonify the kidney in winter, so they can choose Angelica sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Carthami Flos and Radix Dipsaci. Some elderly people have dry skin and are prone to chapping in winter. You can choose cassia twig, honeysuckle and safflower. Take 0/5 ~ 20g of each of the above traditional Chinese medicines, fry them in a casserole, then pour the decocted liquid medicine into a bucket, and then add hot water.
