Introduction
Put Sichuan pepper and table salt into a pot with clear water and boil for about 20 minutes to half an hour, then turn off the heat after some time. Once the water temperature approaches body temperature, pour it out and soak both feet in the water. Soak your feet for approximately 20 minutes. This method is not suitable for patients with severe athlete's foot accompanied by ulceration and infection, diabetic patients, or those with cardiovascular conditions, to avoid adverse reactions.

Sichuan pepper has certain stimulating properties that can relieve itching and kill parasites, thus effectively eliminating fungal infections on the feet and reducing symptoms such as severe foot itching and bacterial infections causing pustules. Method of using Sichuan pepper to treat athlete's foot:

1. Prepare Sichuan pepper and table salt in a ratio of 1:2, and wrap them in gauze.

2. Place the gauze pack into a pot, add clean water, and boil for approximately 20 minutes to half an hour, then turn off the heat after some time.

3. Once the water temperature cools to near body temperature, pour it out and soak both feet in the liquid.

4. Soak the feet for about twenty minutes.

Note: This method is not suitable for patients with severe athlete’s foot accompanied by ulceration and infection, diabetic patients, or those with cardiovascular conditions, to avoid adverse reactions.
