Is the moxa foot patch useful?

The Mugwort Foot Patch is a health-preserving patch made of mugwort and applied to the soles of the feet. It is also a health product that can promote human health. The main function of the moxa foot patch is to remove moisture, it can also reduce inflammation, and it can also regulate the body's endocrine system, but the effect is relatively slow. There are also many folk sayings that the blackening of the moxa foot patch indicates detoxification and weight loss. In fact, this is a wrong perception. Below we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge of Ai Foot Patch in detail.

1. The effect of mugwort foot patch

Mugwort foot patch has certain anti-inflammatory and dehumidifying effects, but the effect is not that magical.

1. There are many types and brands of foot patches. According to the different raw materials, they are mainly divided into bamboo vinegar, ginger powder and mugwort foot patches.

2. Among these three types of foot patches, bamboo vinegar has the highest cost, ginger powder and mugwort have the lowest cost and the lowest effect (you can refer to the mugwort encyclopedia).

3. Mugwort is commonly known as wormwood in the north. It was used to ward off evil spirits in ancient times. It has certain anti-inflammatory and dehumidifying effects. It is used as a foot patch to take advantage of this effect.

4. The foot patch stimulates acupuncture points and regulates endocrine function. The effect is slow, so it needs to be used every day to keep the body healthy and free of disease.

2. Does the blackening of foot patches really help with detoxification and weight loss?

The foot patch turning black is not caused by detoxification. The foot patch turns black because it contains water-soluble ingredients. When it encounters the body's skin's own metabolites, such as sweat, oil, etc., it will change color and adhere to the outside of the foot patch, turning the foot patch black. Therefore, the blackening of the foot patch cannot be caused by toxins in the human body. In addition, doctors say that normal foot massage can stimulate the body's acupuncture points and improve blood circulation. It only has a health-care effect and absolutely has no detoxification effect. There is no saying that toxins can be directly excreted from the body through the acupuncture points. Therefore, it is impossible for foot patches to have a detoxifying effect.

3. Precautions for use

Foot patches are not suitable for everyone, and people with allergies should use them with caution. Foot patch products that are officially marketed will definitely use reliable medicinal materials that are beneficial to the human body as product ingredients. However, even for foods like peanuts that are fine for 99.9% of people, some people may have allergies after eating them. Therefore, people with allergies should stop using the foot patch immediately if they find that they are allergic to it or that their previous allergic symptoms have worsened.

As a health care product, foot patches must be tested by a professional medical institution approved by the national medical regulatory authorities before they can be put on the market. Consumers who are not afraid of trouble can ask the seller for the inspection certificate from the relevant department.
