Ordinary people and healthy people can soak their feet, but special people need to pay attention. For example, people with heart disease and cardiac insufficiency, as well as people with high blood pressure and frequent dizziness, are not suitable for soaking feet with hot water, nor for soaking in hot springs for a long time. Because soaking feet in hot water will lead to vasodilation, and because of the weather, the whole body blood will flow from important organs to the body surface, which will inevitably lead to ischemia and hypoxia of important organs such as the heart and brain, which is very dangerous for people with heart disease and hypotension. Patients with beriberi should not soak their feet with hot water. Patients with beriberi will get blisters when their condition is serious, because soaking in hot water is easy to cause wound infection. Therefore, people with foot inflammation and skin diseases, as well as people with trauma or skin burns, are not easy to soak their feet. Diabetic patients should pay special attention to the level of water temperature, because the peripheral nerves of these patients can't sense the external temperature normally, even if the water temperature is very high, they are easy to be scalded, which will easily lead to very serious consequences.
If the time is too long, it will cause symptoms such as sweating and palpitation. So it is better to soak for 20 minutes before going to bed every day. Be careful not to soak your feet too hot. You can massage your feet and relax your muscles after washing. Modern people pay more and more attention to a health care problem, and soaking feet is one of their favorite health care methods. But there is a lot of knowledge about soaking feet. For men, the kidney is the most important organ, so when is the best time to soak your feet for the kidney? Chinese medicine believes that there are many acupoints on people's feet, which can correspond to various organs of the human body. When you soak your feet with hot water, these acupoints will get very effective benign stimulation. Through these stimuli, not only will people's whole body blood circulation be accelerated, so as to alleviate people's physical fatigue and make people feel sleepy to a limited extent, but also various organs of the body can react quickly by stimulating acupuncture points on the feet, thus achieving the health care function of various organs of the whole body. Therefore, forming the habit of soaking feet with hot water every night can make people's blood flow more smoothly, which is of great significance to people's physical and mental health.
According to the knowledge of soaking feet in traditional Chinese medicine, if people want to achieve ideal kidney-tonifying effect by soaking feet, soaking feet around 9 pm is the best choice. Chinese medicine research has found that at 9 o'clock every night, the nerves in many meridians of the human body are in a state of qi and blood weakness. At this time, soaking feet can greatly increase human body heat and effectively promote blood circulation. Moreover, soaking feet at this time can make people's kidneys relax faster, which plays a very important role in the health care of human renal function. People soak their feet at nine o'clock every day, which can not only effectively protect renal function, but also greatly improve the quality of sleep. If you soak your feet and massage for a few minutes, you can further regulate your internal organs. Sleeping after soaking feet can effectively improve the working efficiency of human internal organs, accelerate the discharge of various toxins in the human body, and effectively safeguard human health.
There are some precautions that people should know, such as the control of water temperature and soaking time. Scientific research has proved that the water temperature when people soak their feet should not be too high or too low. The optimum temperature is about 40℃. Too high temperature will harm the sensitive skin of human feet, and too low temperature will not achieve the corresponding effect. In addition, the foot bath time should not be too long, about half an hour. Of course, it can't be too short, otherwise the foot soaking effect is not obvious. In addition, when people soak their feet, they can also choose the equipment for soaking their feet, and generally choose a wooden basin, because the metal equipment for soaking their feet can easily cool the water. When soaking feet, you can also choose some mild Chinese herbal medicines that are beneficial to the human body and put them into the foot soaking water, which can increase the efficacy of soaking feet.
