GINGER FOOT SOAK
If you have been suffering from aches and pain in your leg joints, veins, lower back, etc., perhaps you might wish to try this ancient Chinese healing technique. I did not believe it will work either until I tried it out myself...
Ginger is a natural herb for many ailments. However, for some people like me, it could be quite 'heaty' if consumed regularly. Thus, soaking our feet in warm ginger water is the next best bet to try...
Ginger foot soaks are a great way to end the day. They benefit those experiencing stress, low back pain, menstrual irregularities, poor circulation, low energy, and detoxification. They also promote a healthy immune system.
Method :
Wash about 4"-5" ginger root. Crush it and bring to boil in a small pot of water, then allow to simmer over low fire for about 20-30 minutes.
Get a wooden/plastic basin deep enough to soak both feet together. Fill it up to 3/4 level with cool water. (Tap water at room temperature).
Pour the boiled ginger water (plus ginger) into the above basin and check the temperature. The water must be quite warm but not piping hot.
Slowly place your feet into the water and relax for about 20 minutes. Dry with a towel and apply a foot cream if you wish.
Repeat daily, usually in the late evenings, until the pain lessens, after which it could be alternated. You may also soak your aching hands or prepare a similar body bath.
Note :
I believe that fresh ginger root works best but if it is not available, then you may use 2 tbsp ginger powder.
Remain blessed,
