Eight points for attention in soaking feet

If the time is too long, the local blood circulation in the foot is too fast for a long time, and the blood in the body will flow more to the lower limbs, resulting in cardiovascular overload.
2. The water temperature should not be too high
The best water temperature for soaking feet is below 50℃, which requires hot but not scalding. Feel the water temperature with your feet instead of your hands. If the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels on the feet will easily expand excessively, and the blood in the body will flow more to the lower limbs, which will easily lead to insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the heart, brain and kidney, which is not good for the body.
