Why is it cool for people with beriberi to burn their feet?

Don't say it's really cool to iron your feet with hot water. There is athlete's foot, it is not a "cool" word can be summarized! The feeling of flying high after ironing your feet is not as good as the feeling of smoking a cigarette after dinner!

This pleasure is not groundless. Even people who don't have beriberi have a very pleasant feeling of soaking their feet with hot water every night, which can relax their body and mind. This is because they can dilate capillaries while soaking feet in hot water, temporarily relieve itching and dredge qi and blood, and people will feel relaxed and happy. People with beriberi also feel itchy, but this is just an illusion.

Soaking feet with hot water can only temporarily relieve itching. Once your feet are taken out of the hot water, you will feel itchy again in a short time. This is because beriberi is often caused by fungi. Fungi like the environment around 22 to 36 degrees Celsius, and the water temperature for soaking feet is generally 45 degrees Celsius. This temperature will make fungi extremely active and run to other parts of the body with fast-flowing blood. In short, soaking feet with hot water will accelerate the spread of fungi, make beriberi more and more serious, and the odor will become more and more prominent.

Some people say that hot water can't sterilize?

Indeed, most bacteria are not resistant to high temperature, and will decompose and rupture under continuous immersion at high temperature. However, high-temperature sterilization generally requires boiling water of about 100 degrees Celsius, and it takes four or five minutes or even longer to soak. It is obviously unacceptable to soak feet in water at this temperature for sterilization. Maybe the bacteria haven't been killed yet, and the feet have been burnt. In particular, it should be reminded that the fungi that cause beriberi are mostly Trichophyton rubrum. Once this fungus spreads to toenails, it may also cause onychomycosis. Seeing this, will you continue to use hot water to soak your feet to treat athlete's foot itching?

Hot water soaking feet has no effect on treating beriberi, so how to deal with smelly beriberi? Most people's beriberi is not caused by other reasons. It is precisely because they didn't clean and dry their shoes carefully. People's shoes are designed to be watertight. Men who exercise too much will accumulate a lot of sweat in their shoes, and the number of fungi is difficult to count. It is normal to have beriberi, which is why men are more likely to suffer from beriberi than women. The method is also very simple. After getting athlete's foot, either dry the worn shoes thoroughly, or throw away the old shoes and replace them with new ones. Men who have not yet suffered from beriberi should try to wear socks when wearing shoes, change their shoes and socks every day, and at least expose their shoes to the sun.

There are simpler ways to recuperate athlete's foot, such as soaking feet with vinegar and salt, which is a very effective method. Both vinegar and salt have bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects, which can not only maintain the feet, but also prevent and relieve beriberi. It is recommended that people with beriberi soak their feet with pepper, white vinegar and salt every night. It usually takes about half a month to see the effect.

It's not a small problem to have beriberi. It's embarrassing to be a guest at someone else's house. Even if you take a bath or swim in a public place, the smell when you take off your shoes will put you in an awkward position and let others be infected with fungi. It is good for yourself and your family to recuperate as soon as possible.
