What are the effects and functions of pumice?

Many people do not pay attention to the efficacy and value of pumice. In fact, it has many functions. It can clear the lungs, eliminate old phlegm, and relieve stranguria. It can treat diseases such as gonorrhea and hernia. If used correctly, its efficacy and value are very high.

1. Clear lung fire, transform old phlegm, soften hard masses, and relieve stranguria. It is used to treat cough, wheezing and heat due to phlegm, accumulation of old phlegm, goiter, scrofula, gonorrhea, hernia, sores and swelling, and eye opacity. Clears the lungs and resolves phlegm, softens and disperses lumps. Used for cough due to lung heat, thick and yellow sputum, hemoptysis, bronchitis, and lymph node tuberculosis.

2. According to a survey by the American Podiatric Medical Association, under normal circumstances, adult males sweat 40 ml of sweat a day, and females sweat 20 ml a day. This amount will increase several times when it is hot or during exercise. Sweat and the heat generated between your toes create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria to multiply, which is how odors are created. Especially men, who have to wear socks and leather shoes in summer, the smell will make people very unpleasant.

Pumice is a porous stone formed by the solidification of volcanic magma. It is mostly spherical or irregular in shape. It is porous, has a rough surface, is light and brittle. It is called pumice because it floats in water but does not sink. In the United States, almost every household has a piece of this stone, which is used to remove thick dead skin from the body when bathing.

3. For people who sweat easily on their feet, soak their feet in warm water for about 10 minutes every night. After the skin on the soles of the feet becomes soft, use a soft-bristled brush (or a discarded toothbrush) to clean the heels, toes, and toenails, and then use a pumice stone to polish the hard skin on the soles of the feet and heels. During the grinding process, remember to be gentle. If you have wounds on your feet, do not use this method.

4. After grinding your feet with pumice stone, you can do a simple foot massage to promote blood circulation in the feet, which can also reduce excessive secretion of sweat glands. For example, you can put a little oil on your hands, then use both hands to pinch the soles of your feet, and then tap your toes with the same pressure. Finally, use clean water to rinse off the dirt in the gaps between the toenails, wipe your feet dry to ensure that no water remains in the gaps between the toes, then sprinkle with talcum powder or use AUN nano-silver antibacterial and deodorant socks containing nano-silver fiber, which can synergistically kill more than 600 types of bacteria on the feet, achieving the effect of quickly and completely eliminating odor and thoroughly curing athlete's foot and foot odor.
