For us, soaking feet is a very relaxed state, which can promote our blood circulation. Because some people's feet are actually very cold, then soaking feet can actually promote blood circulation. We can feel that if a person is cold, his feet are cold, but once his feet are warm, his whole body will be warm. In addition, many of us are very busy at work now. His lack of exercise leads to poor circulation of the body, while we always sit at our desks at work on weekdays, which easily leads to poor circulation of the lower limbs. Moreover, the circulation is worse when it is cold, and soaking feet can improve this situation.
Therefore, from a medical point of view, soaking feet actually directly acts on expanding the blood vessels of our lower limbs and improving local blood circulation. So soaking feet in winter is more comfortable. In addition, we usually soak our feet in hot water for a long time, so the peripheral nerves will be mildly stimulated, thus inhibiting our cerebral cortex and making us feel relaxed. Moreover, soaking feet can also achieve a good sleep-helping effect. Many people don't sleep well, but if they soak their feet before going to bed, the quality of sleep will actually improve. So this is why our country loves to soak feet.
