Having beriberi is an embarrassing thing, so why do people have beriberi? How to treat it? The following is my introduction to the causes of beriberi. I hope it can help you.
Cause 1 of beriberi: special occupational environment
Some occupations need to wear special shoes (such as rubber shoes and long boots), some occupations must wear formal clothes and leather shoes, some occupations have poor working environment, hot weather all year round, and athletes wear sports shoes all year round. Under such environmental conditions, can you not cover your beriberi?

[eradication measures] in addition to routine medication, such people should remember to change their shoes and socks frequently to keep them dry. They can also put sanitary napkins and other moisture absorbing things in their shoes.
Beriberi cause 2: Climate Impact
Beriberi is caused by fungi, and what do fungi like best? Damp and warm places are paradise for fungi, which reproduce and develop happily. Why are there fewer people suffering from beriberi in the South than in the north? It's because the climate in the south is hot and humid!
[eradication measures] conventional drugs are still indispensable. In addition, wearing some breathable shoes, such as cloth shoes and open toe shoes, can reduce the probability of fungal reproduction.
Beriberi cause 3: heavy moisture
Hot and humid betting or exposure to dampness and evil Qi, that is, heavy moisture in the body, will lead to beriberi. If your toes are itchy, wet, rotten and broken skin, there are many small blisters, and some water will flow out after the blisters break the skin, which is heavy moisture.
[eradication method] if the moisture is heavy, you must first regulate the interior of the body and discharge the moisture to cure beriberi. You can drink a cup of yishutang job's tears tea in the morning and evening. It is made of job's tears, red beans, Euryale ferox, purslane and other materials. It has a good dehumidification effect.
Beriberi cause 4: infection
Many people are infected with beriberi. For example, when they go swimming, they wear public slippers. When they go to hotels, the public slippers are not disinfected. When they buy shoes to try on, the person who just tried on before has beriberi, etc.
[eradication method] in addition to admitting bad luck, we should use as few public things as possible! If you want to travel, you can ask the hotel to provide disposable slippers.

Pickled feet with leek water
Prepare an appropriate amount of leek, clean and chop. Pour boiling water into the foot washing basin and add leeks. When the water temperature drops to be suitable for foot soaking, soak your feet while massaging and scrubbing the affected area with your hands for about 30 minutes.

Polygonatum and vinegar soak feet
250g of Polygonatum and 2000g of vinegar are poured into the enamel basin. After soaking for 3 days and 3 Nights (without heating or adding water), put the affected foot into the basin to soak. Soak for 3 hours for the first time, 2 hours for the second time and 1 hour for the third time. Just soak for three nights.
● pay attention to diet
Avoid cola drinks, Cereals, processed foods, sugar and other foods. You should eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, baked fish and baked chicken (excluding skin). Do not eat fried or greasy food.
● pay attention to foot hygiene
Cut the raw garlic into small pieces and put them into your shoes to wear together for a few days. These garlic will be absorbed by the skin. Wear cotton sweat absorbing socks. Let your shoes breathe and change your socks every day.
● take care of your feet
Limb Qi will cause skin cracking, pus, intermittent burning and other symptoms. At this time, do not cover your feet with anything and make your feet rest fully. Although this inflammation itself is not dangerous, if taken lightly, it may worsen and lead to bacterial infection.
● diffuse brine solution
Soak the saline solution in the proportion of adding 2 teaspoons of salt to 47 ml of warm water. Immerse your feet in the mixture for 5-10 minutes at a time until the situation improves repeatedly. Saline solution helps to provide an environment that is not suitable for mold growth and reduce excessive sweating.
● apply medicine to the affected part
After soaking in salt water, gently apply the bought ointment to the part covered by the infection, 2-3 times a day, and gently rub the medicine on people.
● watch your toenails
The most popular way to clean toenails is to remove mold at least 3 times a day. When scraping finger dirt, remember to use wooden products such as toothpicks or matchsticks, and do not use metal pieces for grinding nails.
● wear shoes correctly
Shoes should be breathable and absorb sweat, otherwise you will create a warm and humid living environment for mold. Don't wear the same pair of shoes for two consecutive days. After each pair of shoes is worn, it takes at least 24 hours to completely air dry. And you can often sun your shoes. If your feet sweat easily, change your shoes twice a day.
● sprinkle some powder between your toes
After bathing, let the feet dry for 5-10 minutes before putting on shoes and socks. To speed up air drying, open the space between your toes and dry it with a hair dryer. Then sprinkle some talcum powder. If you are afraid to sprinkle powder everywhere, you can sprinkle the powder into a plastic bag first, and then stretch your foot into the bag and evenly cover it with powder.
● dry your toes
Keep your feet dry. After bathing, carefully dry each toe and make sure towel is used only once and no one else has used it.
1. Maintaining good foot hygiene to reduce bacterial breeding is a good start: soak and wash your feet with warm water and mild soap at least once a day. For example, a good practice is to wash your feet immediately after taking off your shoes and socks at home. After cleaning, wipe your feet thoroughly, especially between your toes, to reduce sweat and excessive moisture.
2. Sprinkle talcum powder on your feet to help keep your feet dry.
3. Apply antiperspirant to the feet to reduce sweating.
4. Take off shoes and socks or wear sandals as much as possible to let the skin of the foot breathe.
5. Make sure the shoes are of moderate size and allow your feet to rest more, because excessive pressure on the feet can aggravate sweating.
6. Keep your body cool, especially on hot days, because excessive body temperature will make your whole body (including your feet) sweat more.
