Is soaking your feet every day good for your skin?

If the body is in a healthier and better habit, it can maintain a healthier state. If the body is in an unhealthy lifestyle, it may cause symptoms of some diseases. Therefore, in daily life, good living habits are very important for good health. Eating habits must also be healthy. So is soaking your feet every day good for your skin? Let’s talk about it below.

First, the skin is one of the organs of the human body, and it has functions such as barrier and absorption, secretion and excretion, temperature regulation, sensation, and respiration. Since it can absorb drugs by itself, if it is used with the help of hot water, it will be more conducive to the efficacy of the drugs in the human body.

Second, the feet are one of the points where the body’s meridians converge. Among the 12 main meridians of the human body, the three yang meridians of the foot end in the foot, the three yin meridians of the foot start in the foot, and there are more than 60 meridian acupoints distributed in the feet. By soaking in Chinese medicine and stimulating these acupoints, you can regulate the meridians, dredge qi and blood, and adjust the functions of internal organs, thereby playing a role in preventing and curing diseases. Therefore, some people say that "soaking your feet every day is equivalent to taking medicine."

Generally speaking, elderly people with chronic diseases are more suitable for Chinese medicine foot bath. A well-equipped foot bath (Lioncon massager product list) will have a better and more outstanding effect. Symptoms of various diseases such as headache and dizziness caused by hypertension, chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, sequelae of stroke, chronic prostatitis, chronic vasculitis, menopausal syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic enteritis, neurosis, frostbite, chapped skin, etc. can be relieved by this foot soaking method.

When soaking your feet, you can add some pure Chinese herbal products such as red pine essence, Sophora flavescens, Stemona bulb, Cnidium monnieri, safflower, mint, etc. It is effective for people suffering from dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, dry eyes, sore waist and knees, and constipation.

Although soaking your feet in Chinese medicine is good, there are some things you need to pay attention to: first, the medicine must be added to hot water after it is decocted. To prevent scalding the skin, the temperature should be 42-45 degrees Celsius and the time should be half an hour; second, it is not advisable to soak your feet immediately after a meal, as it can easily affect digestion; third, the amount of medicine absorbed through the skin in a Chinese medicine foot bath is limited after all, and the absorption rate is slow, so you need to persist in it for a long time.
