Why do my feet get sore in the summer

Summer is a season that many people dislike. The weather is very hot, it is inconvenient to do anything, and symptoms such as heatstroke often occur. In summer, people sweat more and the body is in a state of dehydration. In this situation, it is very easy to have some physical problems. For example, some people feel sore feet in summer. What is going on with this phenomenon? There are two main reasons for sore feet: one is calcium deficiency and lack of trace elements, and the other is caused by wind, cold and dampness. In addition, you should also consider your physical condition (yang deficiency):

Yang deficiency constitution: belongs to the weak and cold constitution. The limbs are often cold, the patient is afraid of cold and likes warmth, feels tired, likes to eat hot food, sleeps a lot, has loose stools, clear and long urine, the tongue is fat and tender with teeth marks on the edges, the tongue coating is moist, and the pulse is deep, slow and weak. Most diseases are caused by cold, and the patient is prone to symptoms such as phlegm, swelling, diarrhea, impotence, etc. The patient is easily affected by cold evil and dampness. They can tolerate summer but not winter, so it is advisable to use products that warm the yang and replenish the deficiency. They should consume more warm and hot foods (ginger, chili, onion, garlic, pepper, etc.) and less cold and raw foods (ice water, ice beer, cold vegetables and fruits: bitter melon, cucumber, watermelon, etc.). There are many reasons for foot soreness, including lack of trace elements, fever, fatigue, rheumatism, gout, thrombophlebitis, liver damage, kidney deficiency, etc. You can massage, soak your feet in warm water before going to bed, do a simple foot massage on your own while your feet are moist, or take a foot bath (soak your feet in Chinese medicine) to relieve foot soreness. Keep your knees and ankles warm to prevent cold!

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is due to insufficient Qi and Yin, with kidney deficiency being the main symptom. It is recommended to use Shenwei Qibai Decoction for conditioning and treatment, and the strength comes from the soles of the feet. Suggestions: While undergoing treatment, you can also insist on exercising for auxiliary treatment. When exercising, joints, tendons and other tissues can also exercise. The joints and tendons are controlled by the liver. Proper exercise can nourish the tendons and bones, relax the tendons and activate the collaterals, unblock the blood vessels, strengthen the kidneys and strengthen the body, and enhance one's own resistance.

The calf muscles often feel sore in the early morning and weak during the day. This may be caused by insufficient blood supply to the calf and long-term strain on the muscles and bones. If you lack calcium and vitamins, you can take high-calcium tablets for treatment. You should also pay attention to rest and eat more vegetables and fruits.
