Side effects of applying fried ginger powder to the soles of feet

In life, when the weather changes a little, many people will easily catch a cold, especially some babies who have weaker body resistance. If they do not add clothes in time, they will catch a cold. Many times when a baby just catches a cold, many mothers choose to fry ginger crystals and then apply them to the soles of the baby's feet to relieve the baby's cold symptoms. Although this method is effective in relieving colds, there are some things to note.

Side effects of applying fried ginger to the soles of the feet

1. Ginger juice is somewhat irritating to the skin and is not suitable for adults with damaged skin or children with delicate skin. Moreover, the weather is cold in winter, and even if the ginger powder is fried, it will cool down quickly, and its heat is difficult to transfer from the soles of the feet to the nasal cavity. Therefore, it is not recommended that you apply this folk remedy externally. People who have a cold can boil water with scallion and ginger slices and drink it instead of tea.

2. It is worth noting that the early symptoms of wind-heat cold and wind-cold cold are very similar. If people with wind-heat cold mistakenly use medicine to treat wind-cold cold, it will aggravate the symptoms in disguise.

3. If the elderly cannot clearly determine which type of cold they have, it is best not to take medication at will. It is recommended to consult a professional Chinese medicine doctor first, and then receive syndrome differentiation and treatment.

Preparation method:

1-Chop some ginger.

2-Fry the minced ginger in a dry pan until it is very dry. It’s okay if it’s a little mushy. (After frying the ginger, the room was filled with a light ginger smell, which was pleasant)

3-Use small gauze or non-woven fabric to sew a small bag and put the fried ginger into it.

4- While it is still slightly warm, stick the bag on the soles of your baby's feet all night long, and keep doing this for 3 days.

Can ginger compress on the soles of feet cure runny nose?

Applying ginger to the soles of your baby's feet can effectively treat your baby's runny nose. Chop the ginger into small pieces and fry until it is charred. Wrap it in gauze and massage it on the soles of your baby's feet while it is still hot (but not too hot). Ginger has the effect of warming, dispelling cold and ventilating. The soles of the feet are where the acupoints are most concentrated in the human body. This method can effectively treat runny nose caused by cold. After the massage, wrap the child's feet with gauze and then tie it with a plastic bag to prevent the gauze from falling off. Another advantage is that plastic is not breathable, so the soles of the feet will sweat, which is also very effective for children.
