The efficacy and function of Chinese medicine residue foot bath

Recently, my uncle was sick, and the doctor prescribed some Chinese herbal medicines for him. Every time the residue was boiled, my aunt would throw it away. I felt very sorry, so I kept it unconsciously. Then I asked the doctor for advice, and he said that the residue could be used for foot soaking, and it has medicinal properties. I can share resources with you.

Steps/Methods:

1. A large part of the therapeutic ingredients contained in the residue has already been drunk by the patient in the cooked soup, but the remaining part can be digested through the blood vessels in the feet, and can also have a therapeutic effect. Why don't you give it a try? Do you still remember if it was warm water?

2. Another way is to heat the residue of Chinese herbal medicine with warm water, skim off the residue and then soak your feet. Diabetics can soak their feet at a temperature below 40 degrees, because some people are not very sensitive to temperature and need to control it.

3. Also, the time for foot soaking must be at night, and it can be soaked for 20 minutes. It does not need to be too long. One reason is that the temperature will be lowered, and the other is that the efficacy of the medicine will also be weakened. So we can add warm water halfway.

Common problems:

But please note that not everyone can use Chinese medicine to soak their feet. Patients with hypertension should avoid soaking their feet as much as possible to prevent the promotion of blood circulation, rapid dilation of blood vessels and higher blood pressure.

In fact, even though most of the medicinal properties of Chinese herbal medicine residues have been boiled out of the pot, there are still some medicinal properties left in them! This kind of medicinal power can be "recycled"!

The foot has been called the "second heart" of the human body since ancient times. The important internal organs and viscera of the human body all have their own corresponding reflex zones on the soles of the feet. The feet have a thin fat layer and poor thermal insulation, and are far away from the heart and have a poor blood supply. Therefore, the temperature of the skin on the soles of the feet is low and it is easy to catch cold.

Once our feet get cold, the body's resistance will be significantly reduced! Viruses and bacteria in the air can now take advantage of the situation and enter, causing a variety of symptoms.

Soaking your feet in warm water with Chinese medicine can allow the medicine to penetrate through the skin and provide slight physical stimulation to the skin, which can effectively play an auxiliary role in treatment.

In addition, soaking your feet in the residue of Chinese herbal medicine can also promote the body's blood and respiratory system, speed up the effective metabolism of various basal metabolic wastes and various accumulated toxins in the body, so as to dredge the meridians, nourish the complexion, and regulate sleep.
