What are the benefits of soaking feet with ginger and salt?
Soaking feet with ginger salt water can effectively treat beriberi.

Berberis is a very common fungal infectious skin disease. 70-80% of adults have beriberi, but the severity is different, and beriberi is easy to be complicated with other diseases. So how to treat beriberi?

Dermatologists of the Global Hospital Network pointed out that ginger salt water can be used to treat beriberi.

Ingredients: ginger, salt and mature vinegar.

Practice: Put 100g ginger and 50g salt into the pot, add about two bowls of clear water, boil10min, pour into the footbath, let it cool naturally to an acceptable temperature for feet, add 100 ml aged vinegar, and soak the affected feet for 30min.

Principle: All three materials in the folk prescription have bactericidal effect. These three materials are not strong in bactericidal effect when used alone, but they can have good bactericidal effect when put together.

It's best to soak for more than a month, because the fungi on the feet can't be completely removed in a short time, and some even hide in the toes, which is one of the reasons why beriberi is easy to recur.

Effective time: generally, it can be improved after 3~7 times, but it takes about 1~2 weeks to make the foot skin return to normal and smooth. In order to ensure eradication, it is best to persist for 4 weeks.
