prescription:

30 grams each of Clematis chinensis and Lycopodiella ciliata, 20 grams each of Viscum album, Angelica sinensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Millettia reticulata, 12 grams of Angelica dahurica, 15 grams each of Gentiana macrophylla, Sappan wood, Notopterygium wilfordii, and Duhuo pubescens.

method:

Use a foot bath to soak your feet.

Please note:

While soaking your feet, massaging the Sanyinjiao, Yanglingquan, Zusanli and other acupoints on the feet will have better effects.

Leg bath method can regulate all the internal organs

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "wherever the meridian passes, the main treatment is reached", which means that as long as you stimulate the acupuncture points along the meridians, it can have a therapeutic effect on the corresponding organs. Take leg bath for example. General foot bath can only stimulate some acupoints on the foot, but leg bath can not only stimulate the acupoints on the foot, but also "take care" of some important acupoints on the calf.

For example, there is an acupuncture point on our calf called Sanyinjiao, which is the intersection of the liver meridian, kidney meridian, and spleen meridian. When bathing your legs, stimulating this acupoint with hot water can regulate the liver, kidneys, and spleen. In addition, stimulating the Yanglingquan point on the leg can regulate the liver and gallbladder; stimulating the Zusanli point can regulate the stomach and intestines. In other words, although leg bathing involves soaking one more calf than foot bathing, it can regulate the internal organs of the human body, so the effect will certainly be better.

Use medicinal juice for leg bath: 30 grams each of Clematis chinensis and Semen Armeniacae Amaranthus, 20 grams each of Viscum album, Angelica sinensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Millettia reticulata, 12 grams of Angelica dahurica, 15 grams each of Gentiana macrophylla, Sappan wood, Notopterygium wilfordii, and Duhuo.

Since this recipe is used for foot soaking, it does not require as much trouble to prepare as boiling a decoction for drinking. After boiling the medicine every night, scoop out the residue, add appropriate amount of hot water to the juice and then you can soak your feet. If you find this troublesome, you can also soak these herbs in boiling water for half an hour and use the juice to soak your feet. Although this avoids the boiling process, the medicinal efficacy will be worse.
