Many people are careless about the problems on their feet. In fact, beriberi and foot odor are two fundamentally different diseases. People suffering from beriberi generally have symptoms such as sweating, smelly feet and itchy feet. In severe cases, there will be peeling, redness, blisters, cracks, ulceration and other symptoms between the toes. The root of foot odor is that the skin of feet sweats a lot and smells bad, which will develop into serious beriberi in the long run.
Some people always sweat a lot on their feet, and they often smell helpless. In hot summer, they seldom wear sandals to avoid the embarrassment caused by the smell. Many people think that this is innate and there is no way. In fact, if the hands and feet are sweaty all the year round, it means that the spleen and stomach function is somewhat unbalanced; If sweaty feet are particularly smelly, it means that the moisture in the body is very heavy.
Chinese medicine says that "all dampness is spleen", and excessive accumulation of moisture in the spleen will cause hyperhidrosis. When the spleen is damp and hot, people will sweat, turn yellow and stink, which is the origin of sweaty feet. Knowing the crux of the problem, we must solve it. First, there are three main reasons for spleen deficiency: first, overeating and irregular diet; The second is that the liver fire is strong and hurts the spleen and stomach; The third is that some people are born with spleen deficiency, which is a matter of personal physique. Regulating the spleen and stomach should be combined internally and externally, that is to say, the combination of oral administration and external use can achieve the ideal effect. You can eat some Jianpi pills, drink less, eat less greasy, spicy and sweet food, have a light diet, eat more bean products and fruits, drink more water, exercise more and strengthen the spleen. You can also add jujube, yam and lotus seeds when cooking porridge. Drinking such porridge often will have a good conditioning for the spleen and stomach.
