Is it good to soak your feet in mugwort and ginger water?

Soaking your feet in mugwort and ginger can not only maintain your health, but also have certain therapeutic effects. When soaking our feet, various acupoints are gradually stimulated by hot water, which can dredge the meridians and blood vessels throughout the body, and promote the body's slow metabolism in winter. You might as well add a little agarwood to the water when soaking your feet. After soaking your feet, you will not only feel comfortable all over your body, but also have a refreshing fragrance.

Soaking your feet in mugwort leaves will cause coldness, so you need to eat warm food. For patients with severe cold and dampness in the body, it is okay to soak your feet in mugwort water once a week, but you must stop eating all cold foods while soaking your feet in the mugwort water. You can also drink a cup of ginger and red dates water while soaking your feet in the mugwort water, which will remove the cold without causing gas. You need to pay attention to the frequency of foot soaking. Some people are very weak and cannot be nourished. If they eat some nourishing foods, they will have toothaches, mouth ulcers, etc. You can wait until you get a sore throat and then soak your feet in moxa water. When you don't have a sore throat, continue to eat nourishing foods and insist on soaking your feet in warm water every day. If you get a sore throat again, soak your feet in moxa water again.

You can soak your feet in mugwort when you have a cold, but you should also pay attention to combining it with other foods to treat the disease. When you catch a cold and have a runny nose, sore throat, body aches or fever, you can soak your feet in moxa leaf water until your body sweats, but you must drink ginger and brown sugar water at the same time. Add scallion when you have a fever and a few cloves of garlic when you have a cough. Drink it several times until your body is hot and you no longer have body aches and runny nose. Then drink plenty of boiled water to expel the virus and cold fire in time, and get enough rest. Your cold will heal soon.

Although soaking your feet in mugwort and ginger has many benefits, you can't do it casually. First of all, the temperature should be controlled at around 45℃ when soaking your feet. This will not burn the skin and can stimulate the acupuncture points on the feet well. Secondly, the foot soaking time should not be too long, otherwise it will easily increase myocardial oxygen consumption. If the heart is not in good condition, it may induce cardiovascular accidents.
