Soaking your feet in ginger water regularly has five major benefits and effects!

Foot soaking is one of the most effective ways to maintain health, so many people like to soak their feet before going to bed. However, most people soak their feet with plain water or add some white vinegar, but in fact, soaking feet with ginger water is also very effective.

1. Treating colds

Ginger itself has a good effect in dispelling cold. When you have a cold, you can drink ginger tea, which can also help the body dispel the cold. Soaking your feet in ginger water when you have a cold can help dispel the cold and treat the cold; if you don’t have a cold, soaking your feet in ginger water can help improve the body’s ability to resist the cold virus and prevent the cold.

2. Improve cold hands and feet

The reason for cold hands and feet is that the blood circulation in the hands and feet is not smooth, and the body's qi and blood are not adequately supplied to the hands and feet. Soaking your feet in ginger water can effectively improve blood circulation at the extremities of the body, help blood and qi reach the body smoothly, and thus improve cold hands and feet.

3. Treatment of athlete's foot

Adding salt and vinegar to ginger water and soaking your feet together can treat athlete's foot and can effectively kill viruses and inhibit bacteria. Especially for people with smelly feet, it is best to soak your feet in ginger salt water about 3 times a week, each time for about half an hour.

4. Improve sleep

Soaking your feet in ginger water can help dilate blood vessels and promote blood circulation to help relax the body and mind. In addition, hot water can effectively stimulate the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet and enhance the metabolism of the organs corresponding to the reflex zones of the soles of the feet, thereby relaxing people and improving sleep quality.

5. Treat rheumatism

Ginger has the effect of dispelling cold and relieving symptoms. Patients with rheumatism may try soaking their feet in ginger water for half an hour every night. It can not only alleviate the symptoms well, but also effectively relieve the discomfort caused by arthritis. Patients with rheumatism are advised to choose a bucket that is higher than the calf to the knee for foot soaking, which can also relieve knee rheumatism and joint discomfort.
