To say that we are the hardest and most obscure, I am afraid it should be our feet, which is also the most easily overlooked. In fact, people's feet are to the human body what roots are to trees. Roots are strong and trees are flourishing, and roots are exhausted. And autumn and winter health, we must start from raising our feet. Planting trees to protect roots, people to protect feet.
Since ancient times, various methods of raising and protecting feet have emerged one after another. Now it's cold, and all kinds of foot baths have become hot items in shopping malls.
Whether feet are healthy or not represents human health. "Raising trees to protect roots and people to protect feet", raising feet well has many benefits to human health. "There are countless nerve endings on the feet that are closely connected with the nerve center." Chen Hongliang introduced that if a certain part of the human body is sick, you can find the corresponding acupoints on the feet. And some common diseases, such as dizziness, insomnia, osteoporosis and so on. It can be cured by conditioning the relevant acupoints of the foot. Therefore, people should pay enough attention to their feet in daily life.
Massage and foot bath therapy are simple and effective.
"The protection of feet is actually very simple, just some simple and easy methods." Chen Hongliang introduced that in Chinese medicine, massage and foot bath are simple and effective methods to treat dizziness, insomnia, osteoporosis and other diseases. "Just like massage therapy, as long as you find the acupoints on your feet for massage, you can relieve symptoms and even cure some diseases." Chen Hongliang said that the average insomniac can soak his feet with hot water before going to bed, and then massage the reflexes of his feet. First, they will rub the soles of their feet, then rub the instep and the inside and outside of their feet, and then press the reflexes of the kidneys, heart and liver. If you insist on it every night, your sleep will be greatly improved. "Massage combined with foot bath will have a better effect." Chen Hongliang introduced that insomnia patients can soak their feet with 20 grams of Ziziphus Spinosae Semen, 20 grams of Cortex et Radix Polygalae, 0/0 grams of Cortex Albizziae/kloc-0 and 5 grams of cinnabar for 20 minutes before going to bed at night, and then massage.
Foot care is taboo.
"Now there are many massage tools such as massage balls, magnetic wheels and pedals on the market, and many foot baths also have massage functions, making foot care easier." Chen Hongliang reminded everyone that although foot massage is good for health, healthy people are not suitable for foot massage before and after meals. Old people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases must also be careful when soaking their feet. Because soaking feet makes more blood rush to the lower limbs, it is easy to feel dizzy because of insufficient blood supply to the brain. If you feel chest tightness and dizziness, you should stop soaking your feet immediately, and those who are serious should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.
Old people who like to soak their feet in winter should soak their feet 15 to 30 minutes at a time. It would be better if you can add some water when soaking your feet. "Older people with high blood pressure and heart disease should be careful when choosing electric moxibustion and spa foot baths." Chen Hongliang said.
Fungi should also be prevented in autumn and winter.
In summer, fungi on feet make many people very angry. In fact, fungi are also rampant in autumn and winter.
Zhangyan, the attending physician of Zhengzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that winter is coming, and in order to keep out the cold, we should wrap our feet tightly. In this case, it provides a breeding space for fungi. "General fungal infections begin with toenails and skin." zhangyan said that fungi are easy to spread. Once toenail infection causes skin damage, it will easily lead to other bad diseases, such as cellulitis. "If you want to stay away from foot fungi in winter, you need to pay attention to the following aspects." Zhangyan said that if you want to do pedicure, you must ensure the cleanliness of the footbath and related tools, and pay attention to whether these tools are placed in the disinfection cabinet; You can bring your own disinfectant and towel when you go to the foot health care place. Don't use nail polish all the time. It is recommended to rest for a week before applying. After bathing, rub some lotion around your toenails to prevent toenails from being injured; Keep your feet clean and delicate, avoid chapping, peeling or dry heels, and have good hygiene habits.
