What is the material of the foot bath bucket? Pay attention to the use of wooden foot bath bucket.

Cedar or Toona sinensis

The foot bath bucket is made of wood, but it is very different from others: the foot bath bucket is made of cedar wood, and the moisture content of wood is controlled at about 12% after degreasing and drying at high temperature. This kind of wood is hard and dense, and its color is bright and beautiful. After special technological treatment, the bath barrel is smooth in appearance, delicate in hand, anti-corrosive and ant-proof.

The foot bath bucket made of cedar wood is often called cedar bucket, which can quickly achieve the effects of eliminating fatigue, restoring physical strength, enhancing cardiopulmonary function and promoting blood circulation. When doing foot bath therapy, the water temperature is generally kept at about 40 degrees, and the amount of water should be enough to drown the ankles. Soak your feet with exothermic water for 5 to 10 minutes, and then massage your feet. Massage the soles of feet and toes after foot bath has important health care and medical effects. It is especially effective for neurasthenia, intractable ankle numbness and spasm, periodic migraine, dysmenorrhea and renal insufficiency. When soaking, Chinese herbal medicine bath, milk, petals, beer, ginseng and so on. Milk bath, petal bath and ginseng bath can be added for better effect.

Which foot bath bucket is healthier for soaking feet? Simple analysis and comparison of several common household woods;

Cunninghamia lanceolata: resistant to humid environment, light in material and very strong in corrosion resistance. It is often used in home manufacture and has good medicinal value. So it is more used to make washbasins, bathtubs, insoles and so on. The greatest value of Chinese fir lies not in its appearance, but in its unique medicinal value.

Cypress: It grows in the zone with an annual average temperature of about 17 degrees, with high density, good texture and general anti-corrosion ability, and is mostly used for large-scale home decoration. Because of its characteristics, cypress is more used for large household items, such as coffee tables, cabinets, decorative boards and so on. After processing, cypress wood has more luster and texture, showing its nobility, but its medicinal value is average.

Oak: It can be said to be the first of the three. It has both the corrosion resistance of Chinese fir and the texture of cypress, with its unique toughness, fine texture and high strength. There are few high-quality oak boards in China, which need to be imported from abroad. It is not easy to absorb water. It is often used to store red wine.

Summary: Chinese fir is slightly poor in texture, good in corrosion resistance, unique in medicinal value, light and easy to move, and the lowest in price. You can't go wrong in buying a foot bath bucket. Foot bath itself is for health ~ but if it is used for decoration, it needs a lot of processing, because this material has poor texture and painting and polishing are more expensive. But the price is absolutely first-class.

Cedar, in an embarrassing situation, is not as good as oak, its medicinal value is not as good as Chinese fir, and its corrosion resistance is obviously not as good as Chinese fir and oak, but relatively speaking, people who pursue texture will choose it for large-scale decoration because its price is slightly lower than oak.

Seven kinds of people should not use Chinese medicine for foot bath health care.

Everything has two sides. Although Chinese medicine foot bath is good, it is not suitable for everyone. So who can't use Chinese medicine for foot bath? Let's take a look.

Pay attention to these small details when using the foot bath.

1, the foot bath should be electrified after adding water, and it is forbidden to use it without water. Air-burning will burn out the heating pipe and water pump, resulting in the foot bath being burned out. It is normal for the water pump and air bag (note: air bubble) to vibrate and make a slight noise.

2. The filter screen of the foot bath should be cleaned in time to prevent excessive dirt from blocking the heating tube, causing temperature control failure and temperature adjustment failure, resulting in no heating. Don't put the towel in the basin. If you put it in, it will block the filter screen, which will cause the water not to circulate and burn out the pump.

3. It is forbidden to directly add traditional Chinese medicine in the foot bath. If the residue is sucked by the water pump, it will jam the bearing and cause the motor to hum. Seriously, I won't surf directly, and the pump is completely stuck. The water pump needs to be disassembled for cleaning. If you want to use medicine, please boil the medicine (filter residue) into liquid medicine first, and then pour it into the basin. 85% of the foot baths repaired by the maintenance department are made of traditional Chinese medicine or foot bath powder. Please don't put Chinese medicine directly into the foot bath when using.

4. If the foot bath is equipped with a remote control, it is best to use the remote control as much as possible to avoid poor contact caused by too many panel presses.

5, it is forbidden to stand on the foot bath in use, in case of basin body rupture, dangerous.

6. Don't put the foot bath tub outdoors in cold weather.

7. Each foot bath tub will be opened for water inspection before delivery, and it can only be listed after the inspection is normal, so the foot bath tub you received must have water droplets, which is normal.

8. Before using the foot bath, please close the drain valve to avoid water leakage. Please do not use upper drainage. If the upper drainage is drained, burn the water pump. Upper drainage plays an auxiliary role. Please use the lower drainage layer or throw it away directly (the transparent drainage pipe can be thrown away directly).

9. If you don't surf after pouring water into the foot bath, please turn off the power immediately and shake it from side to side. There should be air in the pump. If it bubbles, turn on the heating again.

10, any electric pen in the foot bath can be used to measure induced electricity. If some electric pens in the basin cannot be measured, they can be measured with a multimeter. This situation is induced electricity, there is no voltage, and it will not hurt people.

1 1, 30 minutes before and after meals, foot bath is not suitable. Because the blood vessels in the foot dilate, the blood volume increases, and the blood in the gastrointestinal tract and viscera decreases, which affects the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract. Soaking feet before meals may inhibit the secretion of gastric juice, which is not conducive to digestion. Foot bath immediately after meals will reduce the blood volume of gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion.

12. Some people with sensitive skin will have blisters or local skin redness and itching when soaking their feet. After taking the medicine, allergic reactions may occur. After these symptoms appear, you should stop taking the medicine.

Here are seven foot bath massage methods, which can effectively delay aging and make your body young 10 years old.

First, foot bath: Soaking feet with hot water, especially washing feet with ginger or pepper, can quickly expand the capillary network of human respiratory mucosa and accelerate blood circulation, thus prompting white blood cells in the blood of respiratory mucosa to eliminate bacteria and viruses invading the human body in time, greatly reducing the risk of illness.

Second, rub your feet: after washing your feet, warm your hands and gently rub the relevant parts or acupoints. It can massage the whole foot or part, and massage Yongquan (the center of the foot) or Taichong (the back of the first and second toe joints) or Taixi (the depression between the high point of the inner ankle and the achilles tendon).

Fourth, lift your feet: after washing your feet every night, lift your feet 2-3 times, even higher than your heart. At this time, the blood circulation in the feet and legs is vigorous, and the blood in the lower limbs accelerates to return to the lungs and heart, so that the whole body blood can be fully circulated. At the same time, it is also a benign stimulation to the acupoints and reflex zones of the feet. This method can quickly eliminate fatigue.

Shake your legs: first hold the wall, shake your calves forward, lift your toes, and then shake them back, so that your toes are forced backwards, your feet are straight, and your legs are as straight as possible. When you throw your legs, your upper body is upright and your legs are exchanged dozens of times. This method can be used to prevent hemiplegia, atrophy and weakness of lower limbs, numbness of legs and cramps of calves.

Six, twisting the knee: the feet are parallel, the knees are slightly squatting, the hands are placed on the knees, and the knees turn around, first turn left, then turn right, about 20 times each. This method can be used to treat lower limb fatigue and knee pain.

7. Knead the calf: Hold one calf tightly with both hands, rotate while rubbing it, rubbing it for about 20 times on each side, and then rubbing the other leg in the same way, which can enhance the strength of the leg.
