"What Causes Burning Feet and How to Improve It?"
The burning sensation in the feet may be caused by excessive ambient temperature, vigorous exercise, yin deficiency of the heart and kidney, blood heat, excessive dampness, and other factors. It can be improved by adjusting the temperature, resting, and taking oral medications. If uncomfortable symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
1. Excessive Ambient Temperature: If you stay in a high-temperature environment for a long time, the skin of your feet cannot dissipate heat normally, usually causing an increase in foot temperature and a burning sensation. At this time, attention should be paid to adjusting the temperature promptly, such as using an air conditioner to adjust the indoor temperature to 22~26°C.
2. Vigorous Exercise: If you stand for a long time or engage in vigorous exercise, it will accelerate blood circulation in the feet and cause blood vessel dilation, resulting in a burning sensation. At this time, attention should be paid to resting and avoiding vigorous exercise.

If heart and kidney qi and blood are insufficient, it may lead to excessive internal heat, causing hand and foot warmth.

4. Blood Heat: When heat evil invades the blood, patients usually feel heat in their bodies, often causing hand and foot warmth. Medications such as Dabu Yin Pill, Anzhi Xiaoyao Pill, and Yinqiao Jiedu Pill can be taken as prescribed by a doctor. When taking these medications, 40°C warm water should be used to avoid damaging the drug components.
5. Excessive Dampness: Prolonged exposure to damp and high-temperature environments usually leads to dampness evil invading the body, causing hand and foot warmth. Medications such as Shenling Baishu Granules, Danggui Kushen Pill, and Xiangsha Liujun Pill can be taken under a doctor's guidance. During medication use, spicy foods such as chili peppers, pepper, and mustard should be avoided to prevent affecting treatment effectiveness.
