What are the benefits of soaking your feet frequently

There are many acupoints on the feet, which play a very important role in physical health. If these acupoints can be stimulated frequently, the body can be better maintained. Physical illness symptoms will occur less frequently. Foot soaking is a very good way to maintain health and wellness, and it can stimulate these acupoints very well. So what are the benefits of soaking your feet regularly? Let us introduce it below.

1. Promote blood circulation. Since ancient times, feet have been regarded as the second heart of the human body. From the perspective of health preservation theory, feet are farthest from the human heart and bear the heaviest burden, so this place is most likely to cause poor blood circulation. Medical books record: "People have feet, just like trees have roots. When a tree dies, the roots die first. When a person grows old, the feet age first." Chinese medicine foot soaking is an excellent method, especially for those who often feel cold hands and feet.

Second, stimulate the acupuncture points, reflex areas and meridians of the feet. Many people have had foot massages. When the masseur presses on our feet, we will feel pain, soreness and swelling. This basically means that there is a problem with our internal organs in the corresponding reflex area. So, after we have a foot massage, we will feel relaxed all over. At the same time, there are 6 main meridians on the human foot, including the end points of the three yang meridians (bladder meridian, stomach meridian, and gallbladder meridian) and the starting points of the three yin meridians (spleen meridian, liver meridian, and kidney meridian). Therefore, soaking your feet is also equivalent to stimulating these six most important meridians.

Third, it has a good auxiliary effect in the treatment of many diseases. People often say "rich people take tonics, poor people soak their feet", which shows that soaking feet with Chinese medicine has great effect. Especially in modern society, the extensive use of air conditioners, coupled with people's general preference for eating cold food, leads to more cold and dampness in the body. Soaking feet in Chinese medicine can speed up the expulsion of cold from the body.

After reading the above introduction, everyone should have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits of regular foot soaking. In daily life, you can often use the foot soaking method to maintain your body. If you persist in it for a long time, it will have a very good effect. What you need to pay attention to when soaking your feet is that you must not use too hot water and the soaking time should not be too long.
