Removing dampness: Foot soak

Advertisements

The famous physician Hua Tuo once said:

"Soaking your feet in spring can invigorate Yang and strengthen the body."

Soaking your feet in summer can dispel heat and dampness.

Soaking your feet in autumn moistens your lungs and intestines;

Soaking your feet in winter warms your lower abdomen.

It is easy to get rid of a cold, but difficult to get rid of dampness. If there is too much dampness in the body, it is easy to have poor Qi circulation and weakness in the limbs.

Soaking your feet in hot water regularly can dispel dampness and heat in summer and dampness and cold in winter, making it suitable for all seasons.

Soaking your feet can promote blood circulation, relax muscles and tendons, and thus help dispel dampness and cold.

Adding herbs such as mugwort and ginger, which have different therapeutic effects, can also relieve fatigue and improve sleep quality.

However, the water temperature should not be too high when soaking your feet; it is best to keep it at around 40℃. The soaking time should not be too long; 20 minutes is ideal.

Why did he keep this a secret from her? Jackie needed answers, and she needed them fast.

At first glance, this image looks like a mythical creature silently watching from the shadows, with piercing eyes glowing in the night. But in reality, it’s an extraordinary natural formation: two massive openings in a cave ceiling aligned just perfectly with the full moon and stars beyond. The symmetry and positioning create an illusion so surreal that it feels like the Earth itself has come alive to observe the universe. This rare and awe-inspiring moment is a perfect example of nature’s ability to mimic art. The moon appearing in one of the “eye sockets” adds an almost sentient quality to the stone structure. Capturing a shot like this isn’t just a matter of photography—it’s about timing, patience, and the luck of being in exactly the right place at exactly the right second. It’s one of those fleeting instances when the natural world seems to wink at us.
