1. Suitable duration 20-30 minutes
The soaking time should not be too long, preferably 20-30 minutes. Soaking your feet for no more than 20 minutes does not have the desired health benefits, but soaking your feet for too long and expanding your blood vessels is not advisable. Additionally, if you soak your feet for too long, it can easily cause skin damage.
2. The most suitable water temperature is 40 ℃
The water temperature should not be too high. Many people believe that as long as the water temperature is within their tolerance range, the higher the better, but in fact, it is not the case. The optimal water temperature for soaking feet is around 40 ℃, slightly higher than the human body temperature. Do not measure the water temperature with your hands, but feel it with your feet. If the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels on the feet are prone to excessive expansion, causing more blood to flow to the lower limbs, which can lead to insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, which is detrimental to the body.
3. The amount of water should not be too small
Soaking feet is different from washing feet. The water level is higher, preferably below the knee, and can have an effect on both the foot and calf acupuncture points.
4. The best choice for bathtub material is a wooden tub
Compared to other materials, wooden pots have slower heat dissipation and are suitable for soaking feet for a long time. Ordinary plastic or iron pots can easily cool down in just over ten minutes. Furthermore, some wood, such as camphor wood and pine, have a warm nature and can assist in enhancing the effect of soaking feet.
5. Pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness when soaking the bucket
If the foot soaking bucket is not thoroughly cleaned or the bucket wall is not treated with antibiotics, bacteria on the feet can easily remain inside the bucket wall, causing repeated infections of the feet. Therefore, choosing a good foot soaking bucket is very important.
6. Women should not use Chinese medicine to soak their feet during menstruation
The problems that occur during women's menstrual period are quite complex. If the cause cannot be identified, using traditional Chinese medicine to soak the feet not only does not have a soothing effect, but may also worsen symptoms such as dysmenorrhea. Therefore, if women hope to use traditional Chinese medicine to soak their feet to treat menstrual health problems such as dysmenorrhea, it is recommended to consult a doctor and use targeted medication according to their own situation.
