Take Chinese medicine in China as an example. There are many ways to soak your feet for health. Even in China, every solar term requires foot bath. Many people in China have kept the tradition of soaking their feet.
There are various methods of soaking feet, such as grinding ginger to soak feet to drive away cold, soaking feet with white vinegar to remove dead skin, soaking feet with petals to beautify and rejuvenate skin, and soaking feet with salt to sterilize and treat beriberi. ......
What is the material for soaking feet? The final picture is more like ......
People's normal logic is that salt is a good thing for sterilization and beriberi is eroded by bacteria, so it is natural and logical to treat beriberi by soaking feet with salt water.
Medical answer: no! Salt water can't cure beriberi, can't resist fungi, and has a cleaning effect at most, which can't be cured.
Therefore, those patients who suffer from beriberi all the year round should not listen to the rhetoric of "treating beriberi with salt water". If they have beriberi, they should be treated in time on the advice of a professional doctor.
If you want to treat beriberi well, you must first figure out what beriberi is about.
Athlete's foot is the unbridled ravage of foot fungi. Because the shoes worn by the feet are not breathable enough to ensure the dryness of the feet, fungi are a kind of yin-loving bacteria, so it is easy to induce athlete's foot in the case of sweating on the feet, and symptoms of athlete's foot such as blisters, itching, erosion, peeling, odor and keratinization appear.
Since fungi are torturing us, we must find ways to inhibit the growth and reproduction of fungi. The first measure to eliminate fungi is to ensure that the feet are dry and do not give conditions for fungi to multiply and spread.
Secondly, under the guidance of a doctor, smear drugs or oral bactericidal drugs for internal and external use to fundamentally eliminate bacteria.
Once a beriberi patient said to his doctor, "It's no use rubbing medicine and taking medicine. I found a magical way to treat beriberi, that is, ironing my feet! " "
Recently, I have brushed a lot of articles, and I have seen many patients say that ironing feet is more comfortable than taking medicine and rubbing medicine. Here, I want to find a doctor. The practice of scalding feet will not treat beriberi, but will only make beriberi more serious.
Comfort is just that fungi are stimulated at high temperature, and the feeling of hot skin masks the itching caused by fungal infection in the foot, but this will lead to the proliferation of fungi and the spread of herpes to more parts of the foot.
Finally, advise friends with beriberi not to wear shoes and not to use foot bath tools with their families. Berberis is highly contagious, so people with children at home should pay more attention to hygiene to avoid infection.
In addition, patients must keep their feet dry, keep their feet dry, and keep their feet dry (it is important to say it three times). Only drying can make fungi die!
