Soaking feet in ginger water generally does not relieve menstrual cramps.
Ginger is pungent, slightly warm in nature, belonging to the lung, stomach and spleen meridians, and has the effects of relieving cold (removing cold from the surface of the muscles), warming and stopping vomiting (treating vomiting caused by stomach cold by warming up the spleen and stomach), resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and relieving the toxicity of fish and crab. It can be used to treat cold and flu, chills and fever, vomiting and regurgitation, cough, fish and crab poisoning.
The use of ginger for internal use is generally decocted water or pounded juice to drink, the use of external use is generally pounded, fried hot iron, etc., and there is no decoction of water for external use. Therefore, ginger foot soak can not relieve menstrual cramps.
The use of traditional Chinese medicine is recommended under the guidance of a physician, not blindly self-medication to avoid adverse consequences. If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a professional physician for diagnosis and treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
