This recipe is a special recipe for women to warm the uterus and regulate menstruation. It is composed of eight classic medicinal herbs. Long-term use for foot soaking has a very good effect!

Soaking your feet with mugwort leaves to treat uterine coldness

Soaking your feet in hot water every day can promote blood circulation and drive away dampness and coldness in the body. Moreover, mugwort can open up the twelve meridians and regulate yin and yang. For people with unobstructed meridians, their qi and blood will flow smoothly as well, and for people with healthy qi and blood, the cold in their body will naturally have nowhere to stay.

Method: Take 50 grams of moxa leaves (a handful is enough), put them in a pot and add water. After the water boils, simmer for 10 minutes, turn off the heat, pour it into a basin, and wait for the water to cool naturally to a temperature that the feet can adapt to before starting to soak your feet.

Soaking your feet in ginger slices to treat uterine cold

In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger is a pungent and warm antipyretic drug that has the effect of dispelling cold and has relatively few toxic side effects. Modern medicine believes that ginger can stimulate capillaries and improve local blood circulation and metabolism. People who are afraid of cold, have cold hands and feet, and have cold uterus can soak their feet in ginger.

Method: Soaking your feet with ginger does not mean soaking the ginger in hot water for a while. Instead, you usually take 15-30 grams of ginger (about half a medium-sized piece of ginger), flatten it, or cut it into slices, put it in a pot, add half a pot of water, cover the pot and boil it with hot water for about 10 minutes. After cooking, pour out all the ginger water and add appropriate amount of cold water to about 40℃ (generally it is best not to feel hot). When soaking your feet, the water should cover your ankles, and it is best to rub your feet while soaking.

Soaking feet with safflower to treat uterine cold

Safflower is a commonly used Chinese medicine in gynecology. It can promote blood circulation, relieve menstruation, remove blood stasis and relieve pain. In particular, soaking your feet in water with mugwort and safflower together can better promote blood circulation, warm the uterus, dispel cold, reduce fire and remove dampness. However, do not use metal or plastic basins when soaking your feet with Chinese medicine, otherwise the effective ingredients of the medicine will be lost.

Method: Take a portion of safflower, wrap it in gauze, put it in water and boil it, then add a spoonful of salt to soak your feet. You can also use a special safflower ingredient pack for foot bathing and just boil it in water.

Reminder: If you are menstruating, it is recommended not to use Chinese medicine such as safflower for foot soaking, as it may aggravate symptoms such as dysmenorrhea. In addition, women with anemia and women with heavy menstrual flow and long menstrual periods are advised not to soak their feet during menstruation.
