The best way to soak your feet to remove cold and dampness

Summer is here, and people will eat a lot of ice cream, popsicles, watermelons, etc. to cool down. These are very cold foods. Women in particular should eat less cold foods. If the body is too damp, it is easy to have some gynecological diseases, or even uterine cold, which is not good for the body. Therefore, summer is the best season for dehumidification, and foot soaking is one of the best ways to remove moisture. Here are several methods.

Proper sweating is the best way to get rid of cold and dampness. Proper sweating can get rid of cold. Whether you sweat after exercise, sweat after eating warm food, or sweat slightly after soaking your feet, you can achieve the effect of removing cold and dampness.

Diet can dispel cold and dampness. Eating spicy and warm foods regularly can dispel cold and dampness. Due to differences in geography and climate, each region has its own dietary habits that are suitable for warding off the cold. For example, people in the north like to eat warm, high-calorie foods such as onions, ginger, garlic, peppers, beef, and mutton to expel cold and dampness; Sichuan people like to eat spicy food; Hunan people like fried spicy food; and some people like to drink medicinal wine to drive away the cold. Although they are different, they all have the function of dispelling cold, removing dampness and keeping warm.

To make your own external medicinal wine to dispel cold, take 50 grams of peppercorns and soak them in 250 ml of white wine. Whole peppercorns need to be soaked for a week before use. If you put the peppercorns into a grinder and grind them into powder, they can be used after soaking for 1-2 days. Zanthoxylum bungeanum is warm in nature and can remove coldness from the six internal organs. Rub the pepper wine on the painful area and rub it up and down to dispel the cold.

Replenishing blood and regularly eating blood-enriching foods to replenish blood is also the fundamental way to eliminate cold and dampness.
