Since it is a foot bath, it is necessary to embody the word "bubble". Soaking feet is not the same as washing feet. The "bubble" here means more water, enough heat and a long time. You can't take a basin and put some water in it. That won't help you stay healthy. At most, I wash my feet, not soak them.

The right choice is to buy a deep wooden barrel that can put the whole calf in. Why choose wooden barrels? First, it is easier to keep warm, and second, it is close to nature.

Second, we should control the time.

The foot bath time should be 10-30 minutes. Time is too short to be effective. If the water temperature is cooled for too long, the same effect is not good, and it is easy to be infected with air cooling. In addition, if the time is too long, it will increase the burden on the heart.

Third, we should control the temperature.

The water temperature should not be too hot, and about 40℃ is appropriate.

Fourth, we should choose the right medicinal materials.

The commonly used foot-soaking prescription in traditional Chinese medicine is 20 grams of cassia twig, 0/5g of ephedra, notopterygium root, pubescent angelica root, 0/0g of safflower, Asari and mugwort leaf. If you eat Chinese medicine, soaking your feet with medicine juice can achieve the effect of internal and external absorption and two-pronged approach. Of course, the premise of soaking feet with residue is that the Chinese medicine prescribed by the doctor must be symptomatic and effective.

Foot-soaking taboo crowd

Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly should pay special attention. If you feel headache and chest tightness, you should temporarily stop soaking your feet and stay in bed immediately.
