Mugwort warms the lungs

Artemisia argyi is warm, bitter, non-toxic, and has the effect of returning to the sun, regulating qi and blood, de-dampness, hemostasis and placenta, and is also often used in acupuncture, so it is also known as "medicine grass". Mugwort foot blisters can improve lung function and are good for people with chronic bronchitis and a tendency to cough up white phlegm.

The method of mugwort foot soaking is similar to that of ginger foot soaking, generally taking 30 ~ 50 grams (a small handful) of dried mugwort to boil water soaking feet, and the method is the same as before.

The patient of body cold and wet heavy, can use mugwort blisters once a week foot, still can drink a cup of ginger red jujube water at the same time (10 dry red jujube add two ginger, add 10 bowl water to boil two hours).

Soak foot time should not be too long, with 15 ~ 30 minutes appropriate.

Fall soak foot common mistake area

1. The longer the soak, the better

This idea is also wrong, Chinese traditional medicine bubble foot can bubble 40 minutes commonly, 40 minutes can let foot capillary absorb enough effective Chinese traditional medicine composition, and bubble foot time is too long easy to emit big sweat, sweat loss too much is harmful to the heart.

2. Soak your feet as hot as possible

Many people use high-temperature water when they soak their feet. They think the high temperature will help promote the absorption of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and blood circulation. Actually this is wrong, because 40 degrees is the temperature that people suits quite, exorbitant temperature, can scald skin, and blood circulation is too quick at a draught word, bring about blood to rush up, cause instead discomfort, appear even collapse.

Bubble foot of water temperature between 37 ℃ and 43 ℃ more appropriate, high water temperature don't strong brace, scalded easily otherwise.

3. Turn over the pot several times

Many people think that traditional Chinese medicine is more expensive, and it is too waste to throw the trash can once or twice, so they will turn over the traditional Chinese medicine several times, in fact, such a practice is just a waste of time. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is usually released after two times of cooking. And Chinese medicine bubble foot is disposable product.

4. Poor effect of Chinese medicine on foot soaking

Many people do not have confidence in the traditional Chinese medicine foot soak method, because they have been used several times found that the effect is not obvious, or even do not feel any effect, will think the traditional Chinese medicine foot soak effect is poor, thereby losing confidence. This idea is wrong, everybody knows, Chinese traditional medicine therapeutics of Chinese traditional medicine is relatively long in treatment respect, so Chinese traditional medicine bubble foot needs to hold to for a period of time, ability sees apparent effect.

Several kinds of people should pay attention to blisters

Thermal constitution. Soak foot itself is a kind of hot sex stimulation, the traditional Chinese medicine that joins also mostly is warm hot kind of medicine, to hot sex constitution person does more harm than good. Children are "pure Yang body", the body itself is too hot, so do not advocate long time hot blisters feet.

High blood pressure. It is good to soak your feet with traditional Chinese medicine to remove blood stasis, because blood vessels dilate to lower blood pressure. However, we have encountered a number of cases of blood pressure rise caused by the use of Chinese herb safflower and mugwort leaves in clinical practice, because such patients are generally Yang sheng physically, and there is no "heat downward" while activating blood circulation. It is suggested that patients with hypertension should add some fructus corni or a little salt in the drug bath to avoid the occurrence of adverse reactions.

A stroke. Traditional Chinese medicine foot soak can improve the body circulation of stroke patients and promote functional recovery. However, it should be noted that foot soak may cause burns in such patients due to their age and insensitivity caused by neuropathy. Family members or caregivers must try the water before immersing the patient.

Diabetes. To prevent the occurrence of "diabetic foot", Chinese medicine can be used to soak the foot, but diabetic people need to pay attention to a lot of places: the first is that water temperature cannot be too hot, soak the foot for too long; Second, choose a mild blood-activating drug, such as artemisia argyi, to avoid the use of drugs with strong skin irritation; The 3rd is sufficient bath fluid must filter clean, cannot have drug residue residue, lest the skin is injured.

Heart disease, low blood pressure, should not use too hot water or hot traditional Chinese medicine bubble foot, this can cause blood vessel dilate, whole body blood can flow to body surface by important viscera, cause heart, cerebra and other important organs ischemia, hypoxia, increase the risk of disease. Accordingly, the time that this kind of crowd USES Chinese traditional medicine to soak foot should not be too long, with 10 minutes or so appropriate.

Pregnant woman can use warm open blisters foot, but add Chinese traditional medicine bubble foot to have the risk that affects liver, spleen, kidney classics, can cause fetal air not firm, cause abortion easily. Generally early pregnancy should avoid the use of Chinese medicine soak feet.

The blood will flow to the lower extremities when soaking the feet. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as chest tightness, dizziness, should pause bubble feet rest.

Children should not soak their feet for long in overheated water. Since the arch of the foot is formed from childhood, attention should be paid to protection from childhood. If the child is washed with hot water, the ligaments on the bottom of the foot will become loose, which is not conducive to the formation and maintenance of the arch and easy to form flat feet.
