As the saying goes, "Hot water is better than tonic"
When winter comes, many people will have cold hands and feet. Many people know that feet can be improved, but they don't know that adding something to the water will be more effective. This thing is "pepper"!
"Chinese prickly ash"
Soaking feet with pepper water is better than soaking feet with hot water to promote sleep
In fact, the method is very simple. Wrap 50 grams of pepper with a cotton cloth, fasten it with a rope, add water to boil, and use this water to soak the feet. Pepper bags can be reused, and can be replaced with new ones after about a week. In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese prickly ash can relieve pain, dispel dampness and disperse cold.
Soaking feet with prickly ash water has the same effect as soaking feet with angelica and safflower, both of which can activate blood circulation, unblock blood vessels and warm the whole body.

Feet has been said to be "the heart of the human body" since ancient times. From the perspective of health care theory, feet are far from the heart of the human body, and the burden is heavy. This place can easily lead to poor blood circulation, especially for those who often feel cold in their hands and feet, foot soaking is a good method.
Foot soaking in winter can not only transfer heat to the whole body, promote blood circulation, achieve the effect of keeping warm and cold, but also relieve fatigue and play a role in health care.
There are several types of people who are not suitable for foot soaking
Although there are many benefits of soaking feet in winter, it is not suitable for everyone. The following groups of people should pay special attention:
1. Patients with arteritis, phlebitis and arteriovenous thrombosis should not soak their feet, because soaking their feet will cause local vasodilation, which is easy to cause danger.
2. Patients with diabetes peripheral neuropathy should also pay special attention when soaking feet. The peripheral nerves of such patients can not sense the external temperature normally, and are easily scalded. Once the water temperature is too high, it is also easy to cause foot infection and accelerate the deterioration of the disease.
3. Foot ulcer, inflammation, disease, etc. should not be soaked, which is easy to cause wound infection.
