Su Dongpo said: "hot bath foot method, its effect is not much, but the accumulation of more than 100 days, the function can not be measured, compared to the medicine, its effect hundred times." In fact, the health benefits of hot water are not limited to this.
promotes blood circulation. Jiang Liangduo said that the warm effect of water can expand human blood vessels and speed up blood flow, thereby promoting blood circulation throughout the body and achieving the effect of Warming Yang and warming the body. Studies show that when a healthy person soaked his feet at 40 ~45 C for half an hour, the whole body blood flow will increase by 10~18 times.
speeds up metabolism. Warm effects can stimulate the secretion of human hormones, such as thyroid and adrenalin, so as to improve the body's metabolic capacity, so that the body's waste, toxins, and so on better out of the body. Li Fangling said, especially the skin temperature increases, the body sweating slightly, more conducive to the release of toxins.
consume body heat. Hot water bath can relax the body and mind, restore muscle elasticity, and can consume a lot of heat. A new study from Loughborough University found that the amount of heat consumed by 1 hours of bathing is equivalent to walking for half an hour. Regular hot baths can also help prevent diabetes.
enhanced respiratory function. Jiang Liangduo believes that drinking boiled water can relieve the tension of respiratory mucosa and promote the expectoration of sputum, which is very effective for cough caused by cold. In addition, inhalation of steam helps keep the mouth and nasal mucosa moist, not only prevents the invasion of cold viruses, but also helps to clear lung mucus.
eliminate brain fatigue. When a certain amount of sediment is accumulated in the body, people feel tired. Li Fangling said that hot water bath and drinking water can accelerate blood circulation, reduce the fatigue in the blood, improve the blood supply of the brain, and also inhibit the excitement of the central nervous system in the cerebral cortex and make the brain rest.
alleviates local pain. Chinese medicine believes that "Wen Zetong, the general rules do not pain". Jiang Liangduo said hot compress and other ways can increase the blood supply of the injured tissue and relieve local pain. For example, when the dysmenorrhea can be used hot towel, it can play the role of activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis, regulating qi and relieving pain.
reduce the attack of disease. Li Fangling said that foot bath has health benefits for all organs and organs. The foot's foot three yin is related to the liver, spleen and kidney. Foot three Yang is related to the bile, bladder and stomach. The circulation of Qi and blood in the foot is strengthened by the effect of warm heat. It is beneficial to the whole body to refresh the Qi and prevent the disease.
improve communication ability. Albert Einstein College of medicine in the United States found that bathing at 39 C can improve the communication ability of autistic patients. People living in a temperate environment also have stronger communication skills, more active immune systems, and stronger resistance to diseases.
hot water is good, but also have degree
Chinese medicine health care "degree", too much. Drinking boiled water and soaking feet has certain health benefits, but we should also pay attention to scientific methods.
40 centigrade water is the most suitable. Li Fangling suggested that the temperature of drinking hot water should not be too high. The warm boiled water at the best temperature of about 40 degrees would not stimulate the gastrointestinal tract too much, and it would not cause vascular constriction easily. Try to avoid repeated boiling water, so as to avoid ingestion of toxic nitrite, even if drinking water machine is used, it is best to "drink with the fire". At least 1200 ml of water a day should be taken by normal people, and patients with diabetes and kidney dysfunction should be determined according to their condition.
9 points in the evening, the most nourishing kidney. At 9 o'clock in the evening, Qi and blood in kidney meridian are weaker. Jiang Liangduo said that the water temperature should be 40 ~45 C and feel warm and comfortable. Water should be drowned for 10~15 minutes until the body is hot and sweating. When you soak your feet, you can also use gauze to wrap 15~20 grams of Zanthoxylum in water, and massage your feet slowly with your hands. Immediately after towel bubble dry, pay attention to feet warm, no longer cold. Patients with heart failure, severe lower extremity vascular disease, unstable blood pressure and foot inflammation are advised to use hot water to soak their feet or under the guidance of doctors.
take a 1~2 bath every week. Li Fangling said, bathing can not be too frequent, 1~2 times a week is appropriate. Fresh grapefruit peel can be soaked in a hot bath for 15 minutes until the water temperature is close to body temperature and then bathing. If you have symptoms such as chest tightness and asthma, you should stop immediately, and sit down at the vent and drink a little warm water until symptoms are relieved.
15 minutes to replace hot towels. Jiang Liangduo said hot compress is a good health care therapy. When the body has local pain, the clean towels can be soaked in hot water at 40 to 45 degrees centigrade. After screwing dry, the towels can be applied to the sick area and replace a towel every 5 minutes. The hot compress time lasts 15~20 minutes. If it is abdominal pain caused by dysmenorrhea, hot compress is not relieved after 10 minutes, should be stopped hot compress and timely medical treatment.
