With the improvement of people’s living standards and health awareness in modern society, more and more people are beginning to focus on their own health care, and is known as the “second heart” of the foot, naturally by more care. The human foot for the human body is like the roots of the tree, “the tree to protect the roots, to raise people to protect the feet. Raise good feet, there are many benefits to human health. In addition to going to the foot spa to ask professional technicians to help, foot care at home is undoubtedly both economical and environmentally friendly choice. How to better care for their feet at home? The following talk about home foot care, you must not know the 5 things. A foot soak water temperature is not the higher the better influenced by some foot massage stores, some people think that the higher the water temperature at home, the better the effect, in fact, this is a misconception. The temperature of the foot soak water should not be too hot, generally to maintain at 38 ℃ -42 ℃ is appropriate. This is because on the one hand, if the water temperature is too high, the feet of the blood vessels are prone to overexpansion, so that the blood in the body more flow to the lower extremities, thus causing insufficient blood supply to the heart, brain, kidneys and other important organs, especially for friends suffering from cardiovascular disease, it is like adding insult to injury; on the other hand, the water temperature is too high, easy to destroy the sebaceous film on the surface of the skin of the feet, so that the cuticle dry or even cracked. In addition, children who are developing should pay particular attention to, if often use too hot water foot soak, will make the plantar ligaments due to heat deformation, relaxation, is not conducive to arch development, and over time will induce flat feet. Diabetic patients should also pay special attention to the water temperature, because such people are prone to complications of peripheral neuropathy, so that the peripheral nerves can not normally sense the external temperature, even if the water temperature is very high, they do not sense, which is easy to be scalded. Therefore, if there are conditions, you can first put the feet into the water about 38 ℃, and then slowly add hot water so that the water temperature gradually rose to 42 ℃. Foot bath when the water is usually flooded over the ankle, and to rub from time to time, so as to better achieve the effect of health care. Second, the common steps of the family foot massage 1, first wash the feet clean, wipe the moisture with a towel, rubbing emollient oil. 2, hands on both sides of the calf to pat, so that the calf muscles are fully relaxed. 3.Hold one foot with both hands and squeeze it slightly inward. 4, hands on the back of both feet, patting the back of the foot up and down, so as to promote blood circulation in the feet. 5, the use of the right thumb finger end of light pressure on the heart of the foot, which helps to expel toxins from the body. 6, the use of thumbs on the big toe to lightly scrape, can improve poor sleep and dizziness, headaches and other symptoms. 7, using the joint part of the middle finger and index finger on the bottom of the foot acupuncture points to press, help relieve chest congestion. 8, the use of both hands on the side of the foot gently squeeze, help to improve body resistance. 9, both hands thumbs on the heart of the foot, the remaining four fingers together, placed on the back of the foot, and then take turns on the heart of the foot and the back of the foot to press. 10, both thumbs on the back of the foot, the remaining four fingers together, placed on the heart of the foot, and then take turns on the back of the foot and the heart of the foot to press. Third, the foot massage is not the more painful the feeling, the heavier the technique the better Each of the human body’s tissues and organs in the feet have corresponding nerve endings, they are fixed in certain parts, that is, the foot reflex zones. When an organ of the human body is diseased, it will produce tissue variation in the reflex zones corresponding to the feet, in stimulating these variant tissues will produce soreness. Some people think that the stronger the foot massage, the more pain the foot feels the better the effect, in fact, this is also not true. In the new foot health method we seek to achieve a reflexology in the appropriate pain condition, not only to make people feel very painful, and even some inappropriate severe pain can harm human health. This is because pain is an instinctive alarm system of the human body, and a healthy person has a strong pain tolerance, so if the foot is stimulated with great force at this time, it will produce the opposite effect of what is expected, and in serious cases, it will make the person faint. Therefore, should be in accordance with the human body, how much can withstand how much force should be used, so as to achieve the purpose of health care. Fourth, foot massage is not suitable for everyone Foot massage can indeed play a role in eliminating disease and fitness, but this does not mean that all people are suitable to do. If the massage to the unsuitable people, not only can not cure the disease, but will make the condition worse. 1, people with bad heart and hypertension, if the reflex zones in the heart massage, will cause blood pressure to rise. 2, there is vomiting blood, blood in the stool, stomach bleeding, cerebral hemorrhage and other serious bleeding disease patients and menstruating and pregnant women, will promote blood circulation due to foot massage, causing extensive bleeding. 3, syphilis, gonorrhea, active tuberculosis, AIDS and other infectious diseases and malignant cancer, acute hepatitis, acute nephritis patients are also not suitable for foot massage. Fifth, the best foot health care at night The best choice for foot health care at night before going to bed, especially around nine o’clock in the evening health effects are best. Because this is a weaker moment of the kidney meridian blood, foot health care at this time, can make the body vascular expansion, thereby promoting blood circulation in the body, so that people feel comfortable. Before meals, 30 minutes after meals should not be foot health care, because before meals to do foot health care will inhibit gastric juice secretion, and immediately after meals to do foot health care will cause a reduction in blood volume of the stomach and intestines, affecting digestive function. In addition, it is best to drink a glass of warm water within 30 minutes after the foot massage, which is conducive to the operation of qi and blood, but should not drink tea, wine or other stimulating drinks. We hope that you can understand and do a good job of home foot care, so as to enjoy a healthy and happy life.
