Taboos of soaking feet in ginger water and mugwort leaves

Ginger can not only help people season dishes, but also help people drive away the cold and treat mild colds. Ginger can also be boiled in water to wash hair and treat hair loss. Mugwort can help people get rid of dampness. The most common way to use mugwort is to use it to fumigate various acupuncture points on the human body in order to achieve the effect of removing dampness. In fact, you can boil ginger and mugwort together for foot soaking, which will be more effective in dispelling cold and dampness. Although soaking your feet in ginger water and mugwort leaves is very beneficial to the body, not everyone can use them together, otherwise it may aggravate the condition. What are the taboos of soaking feet in ginger water and mugwort leaves?

1. The soaking time should not be too long, it should be 15-30 minutes. When you soak your feet, blood is diverted to your lower extremities, and your brain is susceptible to lack of blood supply.

2. For patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly, if they experience symptoms such as chest tightness and dizziness, they should stop bathing and rest. Diabetic patients have poor peripheral blood sensory ability and should first be tested at home water temperature to prevent scalding.

3. You can soak your feet in mugwort when you have a cold, but you should also pay attention to conditioning it with other foods. 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.

4. People with excessive moisture only need to soak their feet in mugwort water once a week, but when soaking their feet in mugwort water, they must stop eating cold food. They can also soak their feet in mugwort water and drink a cup of red dates and ginger water.

5. 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.

6. 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.
