Foot soaking is a common health-preserving method, but it has a good effect, especially for people who have cold hands and feet in winter. Using some traditional Chinese medicine foot soaking methods can have a good relieving effect, and this method is relatively common, so now I will analyze and introduce to you in detail the effects and functions of traditional Chinese medicine foot soaking.

As early as 3,000 years ago, the Chinese people understood the benefits of soaking their feet in traditional Chinese medicine. In ancient palaces, musk, agarwood or other Chinese medicines were often used to make decoctions, and the water was used for soaking feet to refresh the mind and eliminate fatigue. Among the people, calamus, mugwort and other herbs were often used to boil water for children to soak their feet to achieve the effects of epidemic prevention and health care.

The application of traditional Chinese medicine foot bath has a long history in my country. Foot bath can relieve fatigue, improve blood circulation, promote metabolism, remove dirt, and make the body and mind comfortable and the spirit refreshed. Chen Xiang Zu Qing foot bath with added traditional Chinese medicine not only has the function of promoting blood circulation, but also can fully absorb the traditional Chinese medicine ingredients through the strong permeability of the skin under the action of warm water, dredge the tendons and joints, improve the water distribution and blood circulation in the body, and play a role in curing diseases, skin care and beautification.

Foot soaking uses temperature and medicine, utilizing the skin's functions of resisting evil, secretion, absorption, penetration, excretion, and sensation, to act on local skin, muscles, and joints, improving the metabolism of the three and strengthening their functions. It also treats local and systemic diseases through the skin's absorption of medicines. It can harmonize the qi and blood throughout the body, adjust the functions of internal organs, and treat various diseases.

The foot is called the "second heart" of a person. It is a mysterious "organ" in the human body that contains infinite treasures. However, half of the body's meridians are gathered in this small space on the sole of the foot. The foot is the beginning of the three yin meridians (liver, spleen, and kidney) and the end of the three yang meridians (stomach, gallbladder, and bladder). There are 52 bones and 66 acupoints in the foot that are closely connected with the internal organs. The calf skin has a thin stratum corneum and is rich in blood vessels, nerves, and muscles, which are good for drug absorption, so we often choose the calf and foot as the area for local bathing.

I believe that after the analysis and introduction of the above contents, everyone should now know where the efficacy and effects of Chinese medicine foot bathing are reflected, right? In fact, it can relieve physical fatigue very well, and can help us speed up blood circulation in the body, making us have a better complexion, and it is also very effective in relieving some pains.
