Is soaking feet in summer really more effective than soaking feet in winter?

Most people only soak their feet in winter, and girls with dysmenorrhea are also used to soaking their feet in those days. If someone says, "Soak your feet in spring, the sun rises and takes off;" Soak your feet in summer to get rid of damp heat; Soak your feet in autumn to moisten your lungs and intestines; Soak your feet in winter and your abdomen is warm. "It is good to soak your feet all the year round. You will definitely refute: it is good to soak your feet every day, but isn't it troublesome to soak your feet on a hot day? "

This is where you are wrong. In the eyes of ordinary people, summer is the season without foot bathing, but what Bian Xiao wants to say here is the necessity of foot bathing in summer to correct the misunderstanding.

Soak your feet in summer to eliminate dampness and cold evil.

In the hot summer, sweating like rain, will cold evil invade? The answer is yes.

The hotter the weather, the more modern people like cold food and cold drinks, such as iced watermelon, iced beer and ice cream. Air conditioning is indispensable for 24 hours. Often at night, my legs and feet are stiff, sour, dizzy and sleepy, and I feel that my legs are not like my own legs and my head is not like my own head. All these reactions show that the "healthy qi" of the human body is constantly being consumed, the evil of healthy qi is weak, damp heat easily invades the human body, and a lot of moisture is accumulated in the body.

Pathogens stay in the body, leading to abnormal operation of qi and blood. In summer, foot bath, bubble therapy and other health care can promote the balance of yin and yang of zang-fu organs, meridians, qi and blood, body fluid, form and spirit, and promote the balance of yin and yang between the body and the external environment. It can achieve the effects of eliminating dampness, regulating qi, eliminating summer heat, eliminating dampness, preventing colds, invigorating spirits and stimulating appetite.

Soak feet in summer, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves, and promote sleep.

In addition to loss of appetite and lack of energy, moisture in the body is blocked by the spleen and stomach, which makes it easy to be irritable. There is qi stagnation in the body, which often leads to drowsiness but can't sleep, dreamy sleep and unstable sleep.

Soaking feet in summer, the blood circulation is good, and the heavy feeling of limbs will be eliminated, which is conducive to strengthening the spleen and infiltrating dampness, nourishing blood and benefiting qi, calming the heart and calming the nerves, stimulating appetite and promoting sleep. Especially for people with poor spleen and stomach, summer is more suitable for soaking feet. When the spleen and stomach are good, it is not easy to be invaded by moisture, and fatigue, drowsiness and irritability will be alleviated to achieve the purpose of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves.

Soaking feet in summer can cure winter diseases in summer.

The temperature is the highest in summer, which is the season when yang flourishes and yin declines, and it is the season when the human body has the strongest yang. In summer, the yang of the human body tends to rise in summer, and the cold condensed in the body is easily resolved. For deficiency-cold diseases, make maximum use of Yang Can, and the evil of winter disease is most easily eliminated in the dormant state, so as to achieve the functions of treating both the symptoms and root causes, prevention and health care.

At the same time, in summer, the human body is full of yang, the blood circulation is vigorous, and drugs are most easily absorbed. At this time, soaking feet with warm water can better stimulate meridians, invigorate the function of human viscera, regulate the yin and yang of qi and blood, and improve the disease-resistant function of human body. There is another kind of person who especially likes to soak his feet in summer, but he uses cold water instead of hot water. I think this can cool off the heat, and it's very enjoyable to be cold.

Bian Xiao really couldn't help interrupting. In fact, such cold water soaking feet can not only promote the smooth flow of blood, but also is not conducive to the blood gas circulation of lower limbs. It's not good for your health for a long time. I'm still greedy for a while, so I'd better soak it in hot water honestly. You can add some Chinese medicine if you have the conditions.
