Precautions for soaking feet in hot water:
1, the foot soaking time should not be too long, and 15-30 minutes is appropriate. In the process of soaking feet, due to the accelerated blood circulation, the heart rate is faster than usual. Too long, it is easy to increase the burden on the heart.
It is not advisable to soak your feet for half an hour after a meal. After a meal, most of the blood in the human body 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.

Benefits of soaking feet in hot water:
(1) promotes blood circulation. The foot has been considered as the second heart of the human body since ancient times. According to the theory of keeping in good health, the foot is farthest from the human heart and bears the heaviest burden. Therefore, this place is most likely to lead to poor blood circulation, and hot water soaking feet is an excellent method.
(2) Stimulate acupoints, reflex zones and meridians of the foot. Including the end points of three yang meridians (bladder meridian, stomach meridian and gallbladder meridian) and the beginning points of three yin meridians (spleen meridian, liver meridian and kidney meridian), all are on the feet, so soaking feet with hot water is equivalent to stimulating these six main meridians.
(3) It has a good auxiliary effect on the treatment of various diseases. There is much cold and dampness in the body. Soaking feet with traditional Chinese medicine can accelerate the elimination of cold in the body. ?
