What to do if your feet often feel cold? Correct foot massage can warm them up
In the cold winter weather, we often feel that our feet are icy cold. Sometimes we have been lying in bed for a long time, but our feet still can't warm up. Some people have to put a hot water bottle on their feet before going to bed to slowly warm them up. Here, I will introduce more effective foot massage techniques that can warm up our feet.
The soles of our feet hide a mysterious control system, with many buttons directly connected to internal organs. Massaging and stimulating these buttons can open corresponding circuits and repair and regulate the corresponding organs. The soles of the feet are the farthest from the heart and the place where blood is least likely to reach, so they are not easily warmed and are more prone to coldness.
Let's learn about how to instantly warm up our feet. There are a total of six simple and effective methods.
1. Correct foot massage can warm them up:
Sit on the bed with the soles of your feet facing each other and rub your hands against your back and calves. Then rub the soles of your feet until they become warm. Massaging your feet before bedtime can improve blood circulation, calm you down, and promote sleep.
2. Step-by-step method:
Walk in place. Apply a bit of force when your feet touch the ground. Your feet will warm up in just 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Stomping method:
Raise the toes of both feet at the same time and quickly stomp your heels, repeating this about 50 to 60 times. This method is effective for constipation but is not suitable for older people.
4. Foot bath method:
Soak your feet in warm water and massage them at the same time. You can also add a small amount of salt to the hot water for its anti-inflammatory effect. For people with toenail fungus, athlete's foot, and other foot conditions, using 30 grams of sophora flavescens, 30 grams of moss, 30 grams of costus, and 10 grams of alum soaked in hot water can help warm the feet and treat the diseases.
5. Ginger soup method:
If your feet are very cold and you feel cold all over your body, you can boil a bowl of ginger soup, drink it while it's hot, and then cover yourself with a blanket to keep warm. This method is especially suitable for people whose hands and feet are icy after getting wet or taking a shower.
6. Leg lifting method:
Lie on your back on the bed, with your hands on either side of your body. Slowly lift your legs, keeping them perpendicular to your body, and hold for a moment before slowly lowering them. Repeat several times. This method can also exercise the abdominal muscles and aid in weight loss.
Some people neglect to take care of their feet, often walking in cold water, walking barefoot in water, not immediately changing shoes wet by rain, or sleeping with their feet facing the air vent, etc. These habits make it easy for coldness to enter the body. So, by mastering these six methods to warm up our feet, they will no longer be icy cold.
