Soak your feet in wormwood. This health miracle that has been passed down since ancient times has a miraculous effect that makes people shine. However, don't think that foot soaking is harmless, foot soaking is not right, it will also be a headache.
So in this article, Yuan's little pocket, I want to briefly talk to you about the benefits of wormwood foot soaking, and who should be cautious about foot soaking.
Wormwood foot soaking mainly has the following benefits:
First of all, the aromatic oil components in wormwood, such as sandalol, aminophen, etc., are said to promote blood circulation and increase the temperature. Under the ritual of foot bath, these ingredients can still be absorbed through ** and quickly break into the blood circulation system. The blood vessels are like opening a skylight, the blood flow increases greatly, and the resistance of the blood vessels is relaxed. At the same time, wormwood foot soaking can also stimulate metabolism and help tissues absorb nutrients, thereby dissolving fatigue.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are multiple meridian acupuncture points on the feet. The warm properties of wormwood can invigorate blood and meridians, massage the acupuncture points of the feet, and regulate the function of the viscera. For example, it can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis and so on.
In addition, the aroma components such as coumarin and turtle age phenol in wormwood are said to have a certain paralyzing effect on human nerves. In particular, moxibustion massage on the liver meridian can calm emotions and relieve stress. In addition, massaging the feet, sun, bladder meridians and other places can also help to adjust the mood.

Wormwood can be said to be a good hand at stimulating acupuncture points, which are inseparable from the body's spleen and stomach functions. The warm stimulation of wormwood can promote the operation of the spleen and stomach qi and enhance the transportation and absorption function of the spleen and stomach.
Soaking wormwood feet in moderation can help you control your appetite and help you control your weight.

So is wormwood foot soaking suitable for everyone?Not.
The following groups of people should be cautious about soaking their feet in wormwood.
First of all, for those patients with severe cardiovascular disease or blood pressure peaks, wormwood can stimulate blood circulation. If you insist on soaking, you may make the condition worse.
The thermal nature of wormwood may exacerbate the symptoms of people suffering from acute inflammation. For example, if you have an acute soft tissue injury, don't try it.
Pregnant women are a special group, and the stimulation of wormwood may affect the development of the fetus.
In addition, because wormwood contains a little pungent volatile oil, for those who are allergic, wormwood can cause a storm of allergies. It is better for such people to use it sparingly.
