In traditional Chinese medicine, ginger is a pungent and warm antipyretic drug that has the effect of dispelling cold and relieving exterior symptoms, 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 and have cold hands and feet can soak their feet in ginger.

Many of the medicinal ingredients in ginger are small molecules, and covering the pot when cooking can prevent them from volatilizing. The amount of half a piece of ginger is the amount that can be used to fill half a basin of water in a foot bath in an ordinary household. If you use a lot of water for foot soaking or your cold symptoms are severe, you can increase the amount of ginger as appropriate. After soaking your feet in ginger water for a period of time, the symptoms of fear of cold can generally be improved to a certain extent.

According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, mugwort is a medicine that is warm in nature, bitter in taste and non-toxic. It has the effects of restoring yang, regulating qi and blood, expelling dampness and cold, stopping bleeding and stabilizing pregnancy, and is also often used in acupuncture, so it is also called "medicinal herb". Soaking your feet in mugwort can also improve lung function, which is very beneficial for people with chronic bronchitis and those who easily cough up white phlegm.

The method of soaking feet with mugwort is similar to that of soaking feet with ginger. Generally, 30-50 grams (a small handful) of dried mugwort is boiled in water for soaking feet. The cooking method is the same as mentioned above.

Cinnamon, also known as cinnamon bark, official cinnamon or fragrant cinnamon, is a commonly used household spice along with Sichuan peppercorns. Both have the effect of warming the kidney yang. Soaking your feet in them can effectively relieve edema caused by kidney disease.
