Moxa stick foot bath:

1. Promote blood circulation. From the health perspective, feet are farthest from the human heart and bear the heaviest burden, so this place is most likely to cause poor blood circulation. Medical books record: "People have feet, just like trees have roots. When a tree dies, the roots die first. When a person grows old, the feet age first." Soaking feet is an excellent method, especially for those who often feel cold hands and feet.

2. Stimulate the acupuncture points, reflex areas and meridians of the feet. Many people have had foot massages. When the masseur presses on our feet, we will feel pain, soreness and swelling. This basically means that there is a problem with our internal organs in the corresponding reflex area. So, after we have a foot massage, we will feel relaxed all over. At the same time, there are 6 main meridians on the human foot, including the end points of the three yang meridians (bladder meridian, stomach meridian, and gallbladder meridian) and the starting points of the three yin meridians (spleen meridian, liver meridian, and kidney meridian). Therefore, soaking your feet is equivalent to stimulating these six main meridians.

3. It has auxiliary therapeutic effect on many diseases. As the saying goes, "Rich people take tonics, poor people soak their feet." It can be seen that foot soaking has a great effect. Especially in modern society, the extensive use of air conditioners, coupled with people's general preference for eating cold food, leads to more cold and dampness in the body. Soaking your feet can speed up the expulsion of cold from the body.
