Several health care applications of foot bath;
1. Eliminating fatigue The first symptom of human fatigue is poor blood circulation in the feet, and it is impossible to continuously discharge metabolic end products such as calcium salts and lactic acid microcrystals. If the related organs of the human body are abnormal in function or suffer from diseases, the blood circulation of the feet will not be completed in time under the influence of pathological reflection, so deposition is easy to occur.
According to research, athletes usually produce 30 mg of lactic acid in one kilogram of blood after completing high-intensity daily exercise. If you enjoy a warm foot bath at 43℃ for 30 minutes immediately after exercise, the lactic acid content in your blood will be reduced by 5 mg. If the foot bath time is continuously increased, the lactic acid content in the blood will be reduced by almost 20 mg, and the fatigue of the human body will suddenly disappear. Therefore, soaking feet in time can effectively eliminate human fatigue.
2, promote metabolism Foot bath helps to speed up the blood circulation ability of the feet and the whole body, and control the hormone secretion of various secretory glands, such as thyroid hormone secretion of the thyroid body and adrenal hormone secretion of the adrenal gland. Help the body speed up metabolism.
3, health and beauty, brain-strengthening and brain-protecting hot foot bath can regulate the meridians and qi and blood of the human body, and expand the blood vessels of the feet, increase blood volume, accelerate blood flow in the head, and replenish oxygen and nutrients needed by the brain in time.
Generally speaking, many acupoints of the human body are distributed in the foot. Foot bath can not only preserve health, but also moisturize the body. Especially for female friends, foot bath is very important. It can warm the uterus before the female physiological period, help to relieve the pain during the physiological period, promote the body's metabolism, and excrete toxins in time.
Can foot bath improve sleep? There are a lot of nerve endings and capillaries in the foot. Nerves and capillaries, under the mild stimulation of soaking feet in hot water, can produce warm stimulation reflex to cerebral cortex, thus inhibiting the excitability of main sympathetic nerve in cerebral cortex, improving the excitability of parasympathetic nerve, restoring the quiet rest state of human body, and achieving the purpose of improving sleep.
