Modern people often sit in the office and have poor blood circulation in their feet. A good foot circulation allows the heart to deliver blood to the distal foot without additional pressurization, thereby reducing the occurrence of high-risk diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke.
If we often bathe in warm water, it can promote metabolism and promote blood circulation in the body, which is very beneficial to the body.
Saying that
There is a saying in the folk: hot feet, eat ginseng. In fact, this is a bit scientific.
The foot is also called the second heart of the human body. This is because modern scientific research has proved that there are reflex zones on the human's feet corresponding to organs and organs. When soaking feet with warm water, these reflex zones can be stimulated and promoted. Human blood circulation, conditioning endocrine system, enhance the function of human organs, and achieve health effects of disease prevention and treatment. At the same time, the thermal stimulation will accelerate the microcirculation of the foot, so that the drug components in the water can be quickly absorbed and directly enter the blood circulation of the human body, so that the effect of treating the foot foot can be better than oral administration.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory in our country has long had "foot baths all year round: spring feet, Kai Yang solid off; summer foot washing, summer care can be ridiculed; autumn foot washing, lung Runchang peristalsis; winter foot washing, Dantian wet burning" The record.
However, the beneficial condition of bathing feet is correct foaming, including water temperature, duration, and so on. In addition, the foot bath is not unfounded, and it is not advisable for some special people and certain special circumstances to soak their feet.
Best time for bathing feet:
Although the foot care for the common diseases and frequently-occurring diseases such as joint pain, insomnia, pruritus, and cough in the shoulders and shoulders is good, care must be taken to control the time for bathing and to use heat according to individual physique and disease. Prolonged water soaking is not good for your health.
Many people like to make water from hot water to hot water, and even keep hot water for a couple of hours. This is a wrong practice.
30-45 minutes of bathing time is appropriate, and can be soaked once a day or every other day. There is also a Chinese medicine hot foot bath method: Each time before the foot bath, the boiling liquid is put into the water (it can be diluted with water), and then the normal hot foot bath method is used.
However, the elderly are particularly reminded that the time for bathing should be shorter. Because the old people soak for too long, they are prone to sweating, palpitation and other symptoms. Therefore, it is better for the elderly to bathe their feet for 20 minutes before bedtime.
Best foot bath temperature:
The water temperature of the feet should not be too hot or too cold, generally maintained at 38° to 43°.
If there are conditions, you can put the feet into the water of about 38°C first, and then let the bath water gradually warm up to about 42°C to keep the water temperature. In the foot bath, the water is usually flooded through the crotch, and it must be shaken frequently.
However, people with diabetes and sensitive skin should be aware that water that is too hot can easily cause burns because of insensitivity to external stimuli.
The most kidney-building at 9 o'clock in the evening
Experts suggest that the best way to keep the kidney at 9 o'clock in the evening is to choose kidneys. This is because this time is the time when the kidneys' blood and blood are relatively weak. At this time, the feet are soaked and the body's blood will increase after the body heat increases. , It is good for promoting blood circulation, thereby promoting blood circulation in the body. At the same time, the nervous nerves of the day and the kidneys that have been exhausted for a day can be completely relaxed and fully regulated at this time through foot bathing, and people will feel comfortable.
"The hot water bathing not only can play the role of nourishing kidney and liver, but also help to improve the quality of sleep." If you soak your feet, and then properly do a few minutes foot massage, better blood circulation to the body, organ organs are also Can be further adjusted. After soaking in the feet, it is recommended that you no longer carry out other activities. You sleep a few minutes apart and you have a better kidney effect.
Office workers have a lot of energy in the morning
The reason why I chose to bathe in the morning is because the nighttime sleep maintains the same posture for a long time, the blood circulation is not smooth, and the morning bubbles can just promote blood circulation and regulate the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system. The nerve endings on the toes are connected to the brain. When you wash your feet, you use both hands to massage the gap between your feet and your toes in warm water. You can make the brain feel relaxed, comfortable, refreshed, energetic, and fill your day with a job.
Morning bathing method
The method of washing feet in the morning is very simple. The temperature of the water is controlled at about 40°C. It is advisable to use comfortable and not hot, soak for about 5 minutes. Hands, index finger, middle finger, ring finger three fingers massage two feet Yongquan each about 1 minute, and then massage the two feet toe clearance about half a minute. In order to maintain the water temperature, appropriate amount of hot water may be added in several portions and repeated three to five times. If time is not enough, just do it once, or just massage, not soaked in hot water.
Foot taboo
When you are too full and hungry
When you soak your feet, avoid over-saturation, hunger, or eating, because the foot will speed up the systemic blood circulation and prone to dizziness and discomfort. It is not advisable to soak your feet within half an hour after a meal, which will affect the blood supply to your stomach.
Severe heart disease, hypotension, patient syncope
Peng Yuqing, director of the sub-health department of the Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said that people with good health should have no problem with bathing and hot springs, but special people should pay attention. For example, patients with heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, and people with low blood pressure and frequent dizziness should not use too hot water to soak their feet or stay in hot springs for a long time.
Because after hot feet or hot springs will cause the blood vessels to expand, the body's blood will flow from the vital organs to the body surface, which will inevitably lead to heart and brain and other important organs of ischemia and hypoxia, for heart disease, hypotension. For the crowd, it will increase the risk of their onset.
Diabetic patients must pay attention to water temperature
Diabetes patients should pay special attention to the temperature of the water, because the peripheral nerves of such patients can not normally sense the outside temperature, even if the water temperature is high, they do not feel, easily burned, causing very serious consequences.
Beriberi patients should be careful about infection
People suffering from athlete's foot disease should not use hot water to soak their feet when they are seriously ill. This can easily cause wound infections. Foot inflammation, skin diseases, trauma or skin burns are not easy to foot bath
The elderly do not soak for too long
If the elderly people spend too much time in their feet, it may cause sweating, palpitation and other symptoms. Therefore, it is better for the elderly to bathe their feet for 20 minutes before bedtime.
Infants do not need to foot bath
Wang Zemin, a doctor of internal medicine at the Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, does not advocate using hot water for infants and children. The reason is that a child is a "pure body," and it is prone to fever and love. If you use hotter water to soak your feet and sweat, you will heat up.
Especially for infants and young children, the feeling of temperature is not the same as adults. Adults feel that the water temperature is slightly hot and it is very hot for children. But they are less likely to express it, so it is easy to burn tender skin. From this point of view, it is not recommended to use hot feet. Wash your feet with warm water every day. After washing, you can pinch your feet gently to achieve the purpose of relaxing your bones.
Use warm water to wash feet Parents must master the time, not too long, children like to play with water, use their feet to thump and thump, the water is cold, is equal to using cold water to soak feet, more likely to catch a cold.
