We need to eat warm food during the soaking of mugwort leaves, especially pregnant women. So what should we pay attention to when soaking our feet with mugwort leaves? Let's take a look together.
1. Soak your feet with mugwort water once a week. Don't soak your feet too often, it will be counterproductive.
When you soak your feet with mugwort water, you must stop eating all cold food. You can also drink a cup of ginger and jujube water and soak your feet with wormwood leaf water, which can drive away the cold without venting.
It is also taboo for wormwood to soak its feet within half an hour after a meal, which will affect the blood supply to the stomach, and in the long run, it will make people malnourished.
4. You can't sleep immediately after soaking your feet. Rub your feet when your feet are hot, and wear socks to keep warm in time. It is best to go to bed after the whole body heat gradually decreases.
5. The soaking time of Artemisia argyi leaves should not be too long. Many people like to soak from very hot until the water is completely cold, and some even keep heating the water for an hour or two. This is a mistake. It takes about half an hour to soak your feet.

Because after soaking feet in hot water or soaking in hot springs, human blood vessels will expand, and 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.
