There are many insomniacs, perennial insomnia, soak your feet before going to bed, the body will be particularly relaxed, that night on a sweet dream.

Therefore, now soaking feet has become part of our lives, can h soak feet is not only a simple medical treatment, but also everyone likes a life of enjoyment. Whether from the perspective of Chinese medicine, or from the perspective of Western medicine, foot soaking is really good for health for most people.

Secondly, from the viewpoint of Chinese medicine, the foot is a very important part, is the intersection of many meridians, there are many important acupuncture points. Again, the foot is still the root of our whole body essence. It is closely related to the kidneys. From many folk proverbs we can see —– “rich people see a doctor, poor people soak their feet” “people old first from the feet”. This is all very reasonable. Finally, from the perspective of modern medicine, the status of the foot is also pivotal. Our abdominal aorta, issued by the heart, step by step thinning, to the foot has become completely capillary network. If there is a problem with the blood vessels of the foot, the hemodynamics in the abdominal aorta will also change significantly. The most and earliest of our five internal organs to be affected is the kidney. The most common in the period is atherosclerosis occlusive disease, early mainly renal artery stenosis, in severe cases causing renal artery blockage, the kidney completely atrophied. And regular foot soak it, can significantly improve the blood circulation in the foot. At the same time, the blood heated by the foot soak, and through the blood circulation of the whole body, warming the whole body and further improve the capillary function around the body. Many patients with arterial vascular disease of the lower extremities, the appropriate foot soak with some Chinese medicine in it, can further play a role in the treatment of disease. It can be seen that the main role of foot soaking, one is to maintain foot hygiene, the second is to improve the blood circulation of the foot, and thus indirectly improve the blood circulation of the whole body. But not all people are suitable for foot soaking. Many patients with ulcers on their feet are not suitable for foot soaking. The main reason is that foot soaking can aggravate the infection of the wound. Such patients can wait until the ulcer heals before soaking feet. Also, patients with lower limb edema, varicose veins in the lower limbs are not suitable for foot soaking. This is because after foot soaking, the veins of the lower extremities will expand in response to heat because of the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, aggravating the edema of the lower extremities. Patients with diabetic lower extremity lesions are also not very suitable for foot soaking, especially with hot water soaking feet. This is because diabetic foot patients are often accompanied by peripheral neuropathy, which can make the patient’s foot sensory impairment, foot soaking accidents with burns.
