Moxibustion on the soles of the feet is a common method of health care.

Frequent moxibustion on the soles of the feet is very beneficial to our internal organs. Some people are prone to sweating when moxibustion on the soles of the feet, so what is the reason for sweating on the soles of the feet?

Reasons for sweating on the soles of feet after moxibustion

Some people have more sweat glands on their feet and sweat a lot, which is often related to genetic factors. Some people's nerves that control the sweat glands in the feet are too abundant and sensitive. The nerves that control the sweat glands are distributed in the sympathetic nerves on the skin. Whenever you walk or run, or even when you are nervous or emotionally excited, the sympathetic nerves are in a highly excited state, and the sweat glands secrete a large amount of sweat. Others are caused by wearing rubber shoes that are not breathable, which prevents the sweat from evaporating and dissipating in time.
