How to rub mud in the shower? 6 baths
Bathing can remove sweat and oil stains, eliminate fatigue, relieve tendons and promote blood circulation, improve sleep, improve the metabolic function and disease resistance of the skin, and treat certain diseases through soaking in warm water. Taking a targeted look when taking a shower can not only get rid of minor problems in the body, but also achieve the effect of "the more you wash, the healthier you are".
1. Take a shower 30 minutes before meals to appetizer
People with poor appetite and loss of appetite can consciously take a bath 30 minutes before meals, stimulate the stomach with hot water, and when the body is warm, spray water around the chest with warm water, rest for 1 minute every 5 seconds, and repeat 5 times; if there is a bathtub, you can soak in hot water for a while, and at the same time perform abdominal breathing. Inhale from the nose to make the abdomen bulge, then exhale from the mouth, and then flush the abdomen with slightly warmer water. This alternating stimulation can promote gastric secretion and increase appetite. For people with excessive stomach acid and stomach ulcers, soak in hot water for 3-4 minutes to control gastric acid secretion.
2. Rinse key areas to relieve body pain
For problems such as wind chill, chronic muscle damage caused by blood stasis, local stiffness and pain, you can add a few more movements when taking a shower. When showering, spray 40-degree hot water on the painful area for about 10 minutes, especially for areas that are prone to pain such as head, shoulders, and waist. You can do stretching exercises while flushing, turning back and forth left and right, which can gradually open up blood stasis and promote blood circulation. People who have flashed their waist due to lifting heavy objects or being hit should not take a shower immediately after injury, otherwise it will exacerbate the pain. Soak in 40-degree hot water for 10-20 minutes after the pain is relieved, which will help reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Low back pain caused by insufficient kidney qi can be relieved by taking a hot water bath back and forth around the waist and doing waist flexion and extension exercises appropriately.
3. Take a deep breath in the shower to relieve constipation
Every time the seasons change and work is tiring, many people are prone to symptoms of functional constipation. In addition to daily conditioning, when taking a shower, you can massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction with the palm of your hand. At the same time, the abdomen is bulging and closing, breathing heavily, and showering the abdomen with emphasis, which can improve the flow of qi and blood, strengthen blood circulation, relieve constipation and prevent hemorrhoids. For patients with neurological constipation, you can rinse the intestines with 40-degree hot water for about 3 minutes, and then rinse with 25-degree warm water for 10 seconds, repeating it about 5 times, which can strengthen the peristalsis of the large intestine.
4. Add ginger to the hot water to remove the cold
Many women and people with cold bodies often experience chills all over their bodies, and their hands and feet are prone to cold and numbness, even in summer. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is mostly due to poor blood flow and insufficient blood supply caused by qi deficiency and blood deficiency. Such people can take more soaking baths when they have time, and add ginger to hot water, which can promote blood circulation and warm their bodies. When taking a shower, you can first use 40-degree hot water to bathe your shoulders and knees. While washing, you can do shoulder up and down exercises and foot stepping exercises. After fully warming up, you can rinse with cold water for 10 seconds. Repeat 5 times, and rinse with cold water and hot water alternately. The blood vessels are constantly expanding and contracting with one cold and one hot to achieve the purpose of unblocking blood. But the elderly and children with weaker constitutions try to avoid alternating between hot and cold.
5. Rub your face to wash off fatigue
Due to the distribution of a lot of facial expression muscles and sensitive nerves, occasionally rubbing the face, people immediately feel refreshed. After a tiring day, rub the face in the shower, hot water can better stimulate these nerves, under the dual action of friction and water temperature, the facial blood vessels expand and become thicker when heated, blood circulation is accelerated, and the expression muscles are stretched, which can promote metabolism, keep the face firm and ruddy. Long-term adherence can prevent facial neuritis and vision loss.
When massaging, rub your palms up and down on the face until the face heats up. The strength can be slightly heavier, once per second, rub 3-5 times, each time for no less than 3 minutes. People with dry skin should not use too heavy techniques or too fast, so as not to rub the skin. However, it should be noted that a water temperature of 40 degrees is ideal to eliminate fatigue. If the water temperature is too high and consumes a lot of calories, not only will it not eliminate fatigue, but it will feel uncomfortable. If the water temperature is too low, it will constrict blood vessels and make it difficult to eliminate fatigue.
6. Massage your feet to relieve fatigue and swelling
In traditional Chinese medicine, "all diseases begin with qi". Heavy and swollen feet are mostly caused by poor "qi" in the human body, resulting in blocked blood circulation. The nerves on the feet are dense, and when bathing, focus on stimulating the reflex areas of various parts, which can promote the normal operation of metabolism. You can first use 40-degree hot water to rinse back and forth from the tip of the foot to the instep, then specifically rinse the ankle and the heart of the foot for 3 minutes, and then rinse the same place with low-temperature cold water for about 10 seconds. At the same time, the feet move while flushing, and repeat several times to stimulate acupoints and smooth qi and blood.
After a day of exhaustion, taking a hot bath can not only eliminate fatigue in time, but also refresh your whole body. The temperature of the hot bath should not be too high, generally warm water at 35 to 40 degrees Celsius is appropriate, and the bathing time should not be too long, preferably within 30 minutes.
