Many people have the habit of soaking their feet in hot water, but are you really doing it right? Maybe many people's methods are not correct, and I didn't understand until I checked the information. There are so many stresses about soaking feet in hot water for the simple reason.
The first is the temperature of the foot bath. The temperature of hot water is not as hot as we thought, but between 38℃ and 45℃. Perhaps many of us have had such a misunderstanding that it is necessary to soak our feet with hot water in order to have a good effect. Actually, it's not. Only at the right water temperature can we promote our blood circulation, activate acupoints and bring unexpected benefits to the body.
Secondly, when soaking feet, it is not a pot of water to the end. When soaking feet, we need to constantly add hot water according to the water temperature. It is very important to keep a stable temperature. Moreover, you can add some salt or vinegar to the water when soaking your feet, which is more conducive to your health. The most suitable time for soaking your feet is 20-30 minutes.
Finally, hot foot bath is not suitable for all of us, nor for people with diabetes and high blood pressure. Soaking feet does more harm than good to their health.
Therefore, in view of the above situation, for most of us, the advantages of hot water soaking feet outweigh the disadvantages; It is a simple and practical health preserving method, which is suitable for everyone to use at home.
