2. Pedicure precautions
The optimal duration is 15-20 minutes.
The foot soaking time should not be too long, 15-20 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.
The amount of water must not be too small.
It is best to soak your feet in a deep wooden bucket or a porcelain basin with a large bottom area, so that your feet can be comfortably laid flat, and it is best to let the water soak all the way to your calves.
The optimum water temperature is 40℃-50℃
The water temperature should not be too high. Many people think that the higher the water temperature, the better as long as it is within their tolerance, but it is not. 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.
