Mugwort and ginger foot bath can effectively relieve dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is a common disease that troubles many women. During active treatment, patients can regularly soak their feet in mugwort and ginger to effectively relieve pain.

Ingredients: 30 grams of mugwort, 100 grams of ginger, and 100 milliliters of white wine.

Method: After washing the mugwort leaves and ginger, cut the ginger into thick slices and put them into the pot together with the mugwort leaves. Add water and boil for 30 minutes. Remove the residue, put it in a foot basin, and pour in white wine. Steam your feet with hot air first and then soak them. Start 7 days before menstruation until the end of menstruation.

The water temperature during fumigation should be around 90°C, but burns should be prevented; the temperature during soaking is generally around 40°C, and the medicine should be soaked to the ankle joints of both feet.
