The second is time. Soak for 20-30 minutes each time, and add hot water from time to time to keep the water temperature. It is better to have reddish skin after soaking.
The third is massage. Dry your feet after soaking and massage your toes and soles for 2-3 minutes.

In the cold season, it is a good choice to prevent cold feet and soak feet with hot water.

As the saying goes, "warm your body first, warm your heart, warm your body", which means that only when your mind is strong, your qi is smooth, and your qi and blood are harmonious can you warm your whole body and resist the invasion of severe winter.
In the cold season, we should set our minds at ease, relax our minds and restrain our qi. You can adjust your mood through appropriate activities and entertainment, keep your mood comfortable, make the qi and blood in your body smooth, and don't disturb Yang Qi hidden in your body, so as to "keep healthy qi in the interior and evil can't be done"
4, light diet
As the saying goes, "three nine make up one winter, and there will be no disease in the coming year." Winter is suitable for tonic, but the cold changes from "winter storage" to "spring life", and it is best to gradually focus on lightness.
Besides, in some places, people are used to eating jiaozi in the cold season. It is best to have vegetarian dishes in jiaozi, which is more suitable for solar terms, and add more cabbage and radish.
