The efficacy of wormwood foot bath

Mugwort can dispel cold, remove dampness, and dredge meridians. Because modern people generally suffer from cold and dampness, mugwort has become an indispensable helper in treating diseases. I like to use 8-10 moxa leaves to tie them into a row and fumigate the back, lower abdomen, calves, and arms. It can quickly dispel cold and dampness. I also like to soak my feet in moxa water, which can effectively dispel virtual fire and cold fire. It can treat oral ulcers, sore throat, periodontitis, gingivitis, otitis media, and other recurrent diseases of the head and face that are related to virtual fire and cold fire. Whenever the above diseases occur, take a handful of moxa leaves and boil water to soak your feet, or take a quarter of the moxa sticks made of pure moxa leaves, tear them into pieces and put them in a foot bath bucket, soak them with boiling water for a while, and then soak your feet in some warm water after the moxa leaves are soaked. Soak until your whole body sweats slightly, but not profusely, and drink more warm water. Generally, soak 2-3 times in a row, that is, after 2-3 days. At the same time, drink more warm boiled water, do not eat cold food, and pay attention to rest. The discomforts in the head, face, and throat caused by virtual fire and cold fire will be significantly improved or disappear.

Some people see that soaking feet in mugwort leaves has so many benefits, so they soak their feet in mugwort leaves frequently. Some people soak their feet almost every day, and this is also a way of life. Because soaking your feet in moxa leaves can draw the false fire and cold fire downwards, it will cause deficiency of Qi and blood in the head and face, and insufficient blood supply, which will cause dizziness, headaches, and emotional changes. Because I was tired a few days ago and had mutton hotpot, I had a little sore throat, so I soaked my feet in mugwort water. After soaking my feet for two days, the symptoms of sore throat were gone, but my qi was weak again. Once the qi is weak, the heart becomes uncontrollable, and inexplicable sorrow and sadness come over me. Knowing that it was caused by qi deficiency, I went to the street and bought a pound of live shrimps. After eating a pound of blanched shrimps, all my depressed mood disappeared, and I felt cheerful, calm and peaceful again. Because the body is too sensitive and emotions change with the changes in the body, using these feelings to treat depression and autism, just stop these patients from eating all gas-reducing foods and massages, and focus on using foods with neutral or warm properties to nourish them, and these patients will soon be able to get out of the world of depression. For patients with severe cold and dampness in the body, it is okay to soak feet in mugwort water once a week, but you must stop eating cold food while soaking your feet in the mugwort water. You can also drink a cup of ginger and red dates water while soaking your feet in the mugwort water, which can remove the cold without draining the gas. Some people are very weak and cannot be nourished. If they eat some nourishing foods, they will have toothache, mouth ulcers, etc. You just wait until you get a sore throat and then soak your feet in moxa water. When you don’t have a sore throat, continue to eat nourishing foods. Soak your feet in warm water every day. If you get a sore throat again, still soak your feet in moxa water, but at the same time you must stop eating all cold foods. Do not let cold and dampness invade again. Gradually you will find that it is not easy to get a sore throat after eating nourishing foods, and your physical fitness is slowly improving. It remains the same in the future. As long as you are not obviously suffering from heatiness, just soak your feet in warm water every day. Do not use moxa water to soak your feet.

When you catch a cold, have a runny nose, a sore throat, body aches, or have a fever, you can soak your feet in moxa leaf water until your body sweats, but you must drink ginger and brown sugar water at the same time. Add scallion when you have a fever, and add a few cloves of garlic when you have a cough. Drink it several times until your body is hot and you no longer have body aches and runny nose. Then drink plenty of boiled water to expel the virus and cold fire in time, and get enough rest. Your cold will heal soon. Correct use of mugwort can effectively relieve and cure physical symptoms, but excessive use of mugwort can cause deficiency of the body and lead to headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, dry eyes, fatigue, depression and even coughing and asthma in severe cases. So, everything is good, as long as it is used properly, it can promote the health of the body.

The above introduces the benefits of foot soaking with mugwort leaves. It can help us reduce the soreness in our legs and feet, and it can also treat some colds caused by cold. Soaking your feet is good, but you should also pay attention to some factors in the process. For example, if you experience dry mouth after soaking for a long time, you should drink some warm water. Otherwise, it will lead to dehydration. Therefore, the correct method is still very important.
