Matters needing attention in soaking feet with ginger

1. The foot soaking time should not be too long, 15-30 minutes is appropriate. When soaking feet, blood will flow to the lower limbs, and the brain is prone to insufficient blood supply. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly should temporarily stop soaking their feet and have a rest if they feel chest tightness and dizziness. Diabetic patients have poor peripheral sensory ability, so their families should try the water temperature first to prevent burns.

2. It is not advisable to soak your feet within half an hour after a meal, which will affect the blood supply to your stomach and lead to malnutrition in the long run. After eating, most of the blood in the body flows to the digestive tract. If you soak your feet with hot water immediately after eating, the blood that should flow to the digestive system will flow to the lower limbs instead, which will affect digestion and absorption for a long time and lead to nutritional deficiency. Therefore, it is best to soak your feet for half an hour after meals.

Children should not soak their feet in overheated water for a long time. Because the arch of the foot began to form in childhood, we should pay attention to protection from an early age. If you often wash your feet with hot water, the ligaments on the soles of your feet will become slack, which is not conducive to the formation and maintenance of the arch, and it is easy to form flat feet.
