Guiding opinions:
Attention should be paid to the following issues:
First, the foot soaking time should not be too long, and it should be 15-30 minutes. In the process of soaking feet, because the blood circulation of human body is accelerated, the heart rate is faster than usual. If the time is too long, it will easily increase the burden on the heart. In addition, because more blood will rush to the lower limbs, people with weak constitution are prone to dizziness due to insufficient blood supply to the brain, and even faint in severe cases. Among them, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly should be extra careful.
Second, don't soak your feet for half an hour after dinner. After a meal, most of your blood flows to the digestive tract. If you soak your feet with hot water immediately after a meal, the blood that should flow to the digestive system will flow to the lower limbs instead, which will affect digestion and absorption for a long time and lead to nutritional deficiency. Therefore, 1 hour is the best time to wash feet after meals.
Third, it is best to use a wooden basin or an enamel basin for soaking feet. Many patients suffering from heel pain, insomnia, dysmenorrhea and hypertension often use traditional Chinese medicine to soak their feet as an auxiliary treatment, instead of using metal pots such as copper pots, because the chemical components in these pots are unstable and easily react with tannic acid in traditional Chinese medicine to generate harmful substances such as iron tannic acid, which greatly reduces the curative effect of drugs.
