Can't children soak their feet? What are the benefits?

As the saying goes, soaking your feet in hot water is better than taking medicine. Many people try to soak their feet in hot water as much as possible. Soaking your feet is suitable for spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, it can effectively prevent colds. Many children always don’t like to eat, are picky eaters, and become immune-depleted. In particular, many children always have fevers and love to get sick. After getting sick, many people almost take medicine or drips to treat it. After a long time, they have become dependent on it. Can’t children soak their feet? What effect does soaking children’s feet have on the body?

When talking about his health secrets, Lu Guangxin, a national medical master and chief physician of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, mentioned that "soaking feet in pepper water every night" is a simple and cost-effective method of nourishing the body.

As the saying goes, "Soaking your feet in hot water is better than taking tonic medicine." However, Mr. Lu's foot-soaking water contains one more "ingredient" than most people's, and that is Sichuan pepper. Mr. Lu believes that soaking your feet in pepper water is better for promoting sleep than soaking your feet in hot water. In fact, the method is very simple. Wrap 50 grams of peppercorns in a cotton cloth, tie it tightly with a rope, add water, boil it, and use the water to soak your feet. The pepper bags can be reused repeatedly and can be replaced with new ones after a week or so.

In traditional Chinese medicine, Sichuan pepper can warm the middle and relieve pain, remove dampness and dispel cold. Soaking your feet in water with pepper has the same effect as soaking your feet in water with angelica or safflower. Both can invigorate blood circulation and dredge meridians, making the blood flow throughout the body unobstructed and the whole body warm. In addition, peppercorns are a natural disinfectant, and soaking your feet in peppercorn water can help treat athlete's foot.

Clinically, it has been found that children who are prone to coughing and middle-aged and elderly people with high blood pressure can benefit from soaking their feet regularly. Traditional Chinese medicine talks about "treating the upper disease from the lower part". Soaking your feet can promote blood circulation in the body and enhance the barrier function of the respiratory system. Therefore, it can help relieve cough symptoms and reduce the occurrence of colds. Soaking your feet can promote blood flow from top to bottom, so blood pressure is easier to stabilize.
