Some people will add some Chinese herbal medicines to soak their feet, such as red dates, ginger and dried tangerine peel. And the health care effect is more effective. In most people's minds, soaking feet is a simple health care method, but I want to remind everyone here that soaking feet does not necessarily bring benefits to the body, and soaking feet in special groups will bring certain security risks to the body.

Case sharing: A man used hot water to soak his feet every day and was almost amputated.
Mr. Wang was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago. In winter, Mr. Wang's feet are often warm, so he will choose to soak his feet with hot water before going to bed, which not only has a good sleep quality, but also keeps his body warm.
The habit of soaking feet has been adhered to for several years. Mr. Wang was accidentally scalded by water before, but his feet didn't feel much pain, so he didn't care. He thought that the scald could be recovered slowly, but the problem became more and more serious and even infected.
Mr. Wang thought it was a simple skin infection and didn't take it to heart. After a while, Mr. Wang found that his feet were all black. His family quickly sent Mr. Wang to the hospital for examination, after a series of examinations by doctors.
The doctor explained: if you come two days later, Mr. Wang's foot will be amputated, and the infection is already very serious. It is inevitable that family members will be confused when posting here, that is, the common infection is caused by burns. Why does this symptom appear?
This is because people with diabetes will bring some dangers to their health by soaking their feet. Normal people soak their feet, which will promote the quality of sleep and keep their bodies warm. However, the peripheral nerve sensitivity of diabetic patients is relatively low and they can't perceive normal temperature. If the water temperature is too high, it will lead to foot burns, slow peripheral nerve perception, and no pain in the body, which will aggravate the development of the disease.

Is foot soaking for health or chronic suicide?
Soaking feet can promote the smoothness of the whole body's meridians, reduce the blockage of blood circulation and improve the metabolism of cells. Soaking feet with hot water when catching a cold can also relieve discomfort.
Actually speaking, foot bath is not as effective as we thought. Although it can keep warm and promote blood circulation, it can only play a short-term role. Don't soak your feet to cure all diseases. Although beneficial, it is not so magical.
Some special people, if they often soak their feet, are likely to bring certain dangers to their behavior. Not everyone is suitable for soaking feet in hot water. If you often soak your feet, the special people here may become chronic suicides instead of keeping in good health.

Although it is comfortable to soak feet with hot water, why don't doctors recommend these six types of people to soak their feet? Soak your feet or hurt your health?
1, people with hypotension
Soak your feet with hot water, and your whole body will circulate quickly. It is not recommended for people with low blood pressure to soak their feet with hot water, which will lead to the phenomenon of blood backflow, have adverse effects on the heart and brain, and even lead to dizziness and coma.
2. People with varicose veins
Poor blood circulation in the legs can lead to varicose veins. When soaking feet, blood circulation will suddenly accelerate, and the burden of venous reflux will continue to increase, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.
3. Children
Children's growth and development are slower than theirs. It is not recommended to soak your feet frequently, which will cause the ligaments of your feet to become more slack and weak, forming flat feet.
4. People with beriberi
If you often soak your feet when you suffer from beriberi, it will lead to more serious local infection.
5. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Especially for people with hypertension, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease, frequent foot bathing in daily life will aggravate the harm of cardiovascular diseases, make blood vessels more fragile and easily rupture.
6. Patients with diabetic foot
The perception and sensitivity of diabetic patients to nerve endings are much lower than that of normal people, and they can hardly feel temperature and pain. It is difficult to find after scalding, which will increase the risk of infection and is not conducive to the stability of diabetes.
You must pay attention to these taboos when soaking your feet. It is more conducive to health care to distinguish your physical condition and then soak your feet, otherwise it will bring some counterproductive effects to your body.
