Is regular foot bathing good for the human body in winter?

Shaving your back in summer and soaking your feet in winter are two major home-based health care techniques. It is best to master them all and stick to them for a long time. A person's feet are like a tree's roots. A tree's roots will die out first, and a person's feet will decline first when he gets old. Remove the disease and cure all diseases. Various opinions are widely circulated, which shows that ancient doctors attached great importance to the feet. Nowadays, some large-scale foot washing cities have signs that are health management centers. It can be seen that everyone agrees that foot health and contentment are the key to happiness.

The feet are the lowest part of the human body, and the entire body weight rests on the feet, so balance on the feet is particularly important. The army's ceremonial posture, the goose step is very beautiful. In fact, the goose step is not only beautiful, but also very good for human health. The principle lies in its reasonable rhythm, very good balance and moderate strength. If you don’t believe it, you can try it. Especially for people with gastrointestinal diseases and indigestion, they will have an immediate reaction after taking it for a quarter of an hour. There are also some businesses that have developed foot health shoes that claim to be able to cure diseases. Good shoes can not only protect your feet, but also contribute to your health. The most obvious thing is that some children have wrong foot shapes, wrong walking postures, lameness, etc., which can be corrected by simply wearing the left and right shoes backwards for a period of time.

The reason why feet are so important is that there is an important acupuncture point hidden in the sole of the foot, named Yongquan. The word "yong" is easy to understand, which means water emerges from bottom to top. Many people don’t understand the word spring. One flesh and one spring are glands. Humans have eight major glands, and the glands secrete hormones. From this, we can probably know that this spring can probably refer to hormone substances. Good springs are usually hidden in secluded places and are not easy to find.

For example, the Yongquan point hidden on the sole of the foot is known to be the well of the kidney meridian and is related to norepinephrine hormone. Norepinephrine regulates blood flow throughout the body, so soaking your feet in the warm spring will make you feel very comfortable. The Jiquan point hidden in the armpit is related to adrenal hormones and can assist in the treatment of heart disease. For another example, the Lianquan point hidden in the chin is related to thyroid hormones.

Although the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet is so important, the spring water is clean in nature, slow in speed, and small in quantity, so you should not use too much force, but the water should flow slowly and continuously. Soak your feet to maintain health, don’t dry them. Many people like to add Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers and other irritants to their foot baths just to get quick results, but this may not be a safe and appropriate method. When soaking your feet, as long as the soles of your feet are clean and the water temperature is slightly higher than your body temperature, it should last no more than 20 minutes each time and you can stick to it for a long time.

The temperature of foot baths in winter can be increased appropriately, but it should not be too hot. If you want to make a slight improvement, simply adding moxa leaves to the foot soaking water is already a good choice. If nutritional treatment is also required, protein can prevent the skin and flesh on the soles of the feet from loosening, and vitamin C can prevent the peeling of the soles of the feet. Vitamin E, prevents varicose veins and diabetic foot. Dimethyl sulfone can relieve gouty feet.
