What does washing feet mean?

Foot washing is a health care method, which is called foot massage in Guangdong. Foot massage can open the meridians of the body and make people feel energetic. Foot massage is also one of the traditional medical care methods in China, which belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicine. Feet have always been considered as the intersection of human acupoints. When the feet are comfortable, people naturally get through the meridians and feel full of essence.

Nowadays, many people buy a foot bath machine, which can automatically heat the water for us, so they don't have to worry about the water getting cold, so many people spend a lot of time soaking their feet. This habit is actually wrong.

Because soaking feet for a long time will lead to an increase in blood flow in our feet, and the corresponding brain blood flow will decrease. After a long time, it may lead to the problem of hypoxia in the brain and the symptoms of dizziness and headache. It is best to keep it within 20 minutes.

Benefits of soaking feet in hot water:

1. There are reflex zones (acupoints) corresponding to various viscera and organs on human feet. Stimulating these reflex zones can promote human blood circulation, regulate endocrine system, enhance the function of human organs, and achieve the self-care effect of preventing and treating diseases.

2. Soak your feet in hot water at about 40 degrees Celsius, and the headache will be obviously relieved after about 15 ~ 20 minutes. This is because the blood vessels in both feet dilate and blood flows from head to foot, which can relatively reduce brain congestion and thus relieve headaches.
