Chinese medicine never said "foot massage". Because judging from Shuowen, the word wood means "Zhuo Fa". From Shui Mu. Mobuche ",translated into vernacular Chinese," Mu "means washing your hair, so why is it" pedicure "? Zhang Zhongjing did not mention "foot massage" in the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, nor did it appear in Qian Jin Fang. I really don't know who is the creator of "foot massage". Is there a classic saying that can be discussed? Zhang Zhongjing, from the perspective of traditional Chinese and western medicine, sees why I oppose pseudo-health "foot massage" as follows. Traditional Chinese medicine prescription: Su Wen's Taiyin Yangming Theory says that "those who are wet get hurt first". Just like avoiding the cold, we should also pay attention to eliminating dampness. There is a concept to be corrected here, which is different from medicated bath. Generally, we use traditional Chinese medicine decoction, such as drugs for expelling wind and activating collaterals, to treat some joint pain, which is also used for treatment, not for health preservation. This is fundamentally different from the much-publicized foot bath therapy. Immersed in hot water, it will open and moisture will enter from the inside. If you stay in the human body for a long time, it will hinder your healthy temperament. Defending qi means "warming meat, mending skin, fattening and opening and closing". If the defensive qi is stagnant, it will generate heat, and if the heat wins, the meat will rot. This is discussed in Lingshu Wan. Of course, some friends will say that it is very comfortable to soak your feet when you are afraid of cold or minor illness. This is actually because the feet are sweating slightly. In fact, sweating plays a role, not the foot itself. Western medicine: From the point of view of western medicine, soaking feet is harmful. Soaking feet dilates arteries rather than veins, so for patients with varicose veins, the symptoms will be aggravated; For some patients with diabetic foot, the peripheral nerve is damaged and the water temperature will become dull, so there is a possibility of increasing burns. As we all know, it is difficult for diabetic patients to heal wounds, which increases this risk; Therefore, people who advocate foot soaking, as well as friends who have seen such pseudo-health knowledge, should be careful about foot soaking!
