Interpretation of Traditional Chinese Medicine

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the feet are the starting and ending points of the three yin meridians and three yang meridians of the foot, and are closely related to all the internal organs and meridians of the body. The human body's internal organs have corresponding projections on the feet, and there are more than 60 acupoints distributed on the feet. If you can insist on washing your feet with hot water before going to bed, you can stimulate these acupoints, promote the circulation of qi and blood, regulate the functions of internal organs, and dredge the meridians of the whole body, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the functions of internal organs, strengthening physical fitness, eliminating diseases and evil spirits, invigorating qi and removing blood stasis, and nourishing vitality. Yongquan acupoint is located in the center of the foot and is the "well" point where the foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian originates. The Kidney Meridian of Foot Shaoyin starts from Yongquan and ends at Yufu. According to "Lingshu·Nine Needles and Twelve Origins", "Where it comes out is Jing, where it flows is Ying, where it is injected is Shu, where it moves is Jing, and where it enters is He." It can be seen that Yongquan acupoint is the source of meridian qi, and it can also be likened to the source of water. The "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor" said: "The kidney is responsible for hibernation, for producing essence and filling the marrow, it is the basis of storage, and the place where essence is located. Its beauty is in the hair, and its fullness is in the bones. It is the Taiyin among the yin, the root of the vital energy, and the home of the spirit." This shows that soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed has the effect of nourishing the kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the waist is the home of the kidneys" and "the kidneys produce marrow and the brain is the sea of ​​marrow". Soaking your feet can treat kidney deficiency and low back pain, which also proves the scientific nature of the folk proverb "soaking your feet before bed is better than taking a tonic".

Therefore, I sincerely hope that my friends should spend some time soaking their feet before going to bed, because there are many acupoints on the feet, which can be stimulated well by soaking the feet. Thereby achieving the effect of preventing and treating other functions of the body.
