Currently, approximately 30% of the Chinese population suffers from beriberi, a condition that not only causes embarrassment but also easily spreads to other parts of the body and even to family members. So, what exactly is beriberi, and are there any effective treatments for this common skin condition? Today, we'll introduce you to 20 folk remedies for beriberi – quick, collect them now!
1. Salt and Ginger Water for Foot Odor
Add an appropriate amount of salt and a few slices of ginger to water, heat until boiling, and when it cools down to a non-scalding temperature, wash your feet and rub them for a few minutes. This not only removes foot odor but also alleviates fatigue.
2. White Vinegar for Beriberi
Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the affected area. It can relieve itching, kill bacteria, and for mild peeling, repeat the application every half a month.
3. Pepper and Salt Water for Beriberi
Boil 10 grams of chili peppers and 20 grams of salt in water until the water is warm. Soak your feet in this solution for 20 minutes every night for a week to see improvement. Reheat the solution the next day for continued use. Use caution if you have ulcers or infections.
4. Rice Vinegar for Beriberi
Pour one kilogram of rice vinegar into a basin and soak or immerse your feet twice daily for about an hour each time. This has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, effectively treating beriberi. Mild cases can see improvement in as little as four days.
5. Garlic for Beriberi
Peel two raw garlic cloves and soak them in half a cup of vinegar for three days. Rub the cloves on the affected area three times daily for 7-10 days for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
6. Radish for Foot Odor
Cut half a white radish into thin slices, boil them in water for 3 minutes over high heat, then simmer for 5 minutes. Allow the water to cool slightly before using it to wash your feet repeatedly to eliminate foot odor.
7. Soybean Water for Beriberi
Boil 150 grams of soybeans in about one kilogram of water over low heat for about 20 minutes. When the water cools to a comfortable temperature, soak your feet in it. This is highly effective for treating beriberi, preventing peeling, and keeping skin moisturized. Visible results can be seen after 3-4 days of use.
8. Beer for Beriberi
Pour a bottle of beer into a basin without adding water and soak your feet for 20 minutes. Rinse off afterwards. Repeat this process once or twice a week.
9. Leeks for Beriberi
Wash 250 grams of fresh leeks, cut them into pieces, and place them in a basin. Pour boiling water over them and let it cool to a comfortable temperature before soaking your feet for half an hour. Ensure the water covers your feet and rub them while soaking. Repeat this process once a week for best results.
10. Aloe Vera for Beriberi
During summer, rub aloe vera leaf juice onto your feet and let it air-dry. Repeat this process for each foot.
11. Tender Willow Leaves for Beriberi
Boil tender willow leaves in water and use the resulting solution to wash your feet. For toe crevices that are ulcerated, roll the leaves into small balls and place them between your toes at night (you can wear socks). Noticeable improvement can be seen the next day.
