Generally, I only soak my feet when I want to sleep. Sometimes you can soak your feet when you go home after a walk. You didn't say how many times you can soak your feet a day. Soaking your feet with hot water can not only relieve fatigue, but also help you sleep. The foot is the farthest part of the human body from the heart. In winter, due to the stimulation of cold, the blood vessels in the feet contract and the blood circulation is blocked, which is easy to induce many diseases. Soaking feet with hot water can improve local blood circulation, dispel cold and promote metabolism, thus playing a role in health care. \x0d\ \x0d\ Why do you want to soak your feet correctly first? Choose the right bucket to soak your feet. \x0d\ Since it is a foot bath, the word "bubble" should be displayed. "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. \x0d\ The right choice is to buy a deep wooden barrel, which can put the whole calf in. Why choose wooden barrels? First, it is easier to keep warm, and second, it is close to nature. \x0d\ Second, choose heating equipment. \x0d\ This kind of foot bath bucket sold in the market has no heating equipment, so when we soak our feet, sometimes we feel that the water is cold. To heat the water, we can prepare more hot water bottles and fill them with hot water for later use. \x0d\ Third, how to confirm the foot soaking effect. \x0d\ How can it be a foot bath? It is good to soak in your back and feel a little damp, or sweat on your forehead. Be careful not to sweat. Because sweat is the liquid of the heart. Sweating too much will make you sad. As long as you sweat a little, you will be fine, which means that your meridians are connected from top to bottom. This is also a way to prove whether your meridians are open or not. \x0d\ Precautions for soaking feet When soaking feet, you should pay attention to the following questions. \x0d\ 1, the time should not be too long, and it is best to control it in 15-20 minutes. If the time is too long, the local blood circulation in the foot is too fast for a long time, and the blood in the body will flow more to the lower limbs, resulting in cardiovascular overload. Moreover, the winter climate is inherently dry, and the skin is soaked in hot water for too long, which will also lead to the skin being too dry and prone to itching. Therefore, no matter what age people soak their feet, it is best to use certain moisturizing products after the end to keep the skin moist. \x0d\ 2。 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. \x0d\ 3。 It is not advisable to soak feet within half an hour after a meal, which will affect the blood supply to the stomach and lead to long-term malnutrition. \x0d\ 4。 You can't sleep immediately after soaking your feet. Rub your feet when your feet are hot, and wear socks to keep warm in time. It is best to go to bed after the whole body heat gradually decreases. \x0d\ 5。 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 water temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius, so hot water should be replenished at any time. \x0d\ 6。 Water should have a certain degree of heat, preferably 40 ~ 50 degrees Celsius. Only the feet can bear it can stimulate the acupoints, cure diseases, preserve health and strengthen the body. \x0d\ 7。 The amount of water should not be too small, usually over the ankle. The appropriate soaking time is 5~ 10 minute. \x0d\ 8。 Don't read books or watch TV when doing foot bath, which is easy to achieve the effect of "getting burned". \x0d\ 9。 If the foot bath tub is not thoroughly cleaned or the tub wall is not treated with anti-bacteria, the bacteria on the feet can easily remain in the tub wall, causing repeated foot infections, so it is very important to choose a good foot bath tub. \x0d\ In addition, the effect will be better if some drugs are properly added to the water when soaking feet. The following are several commonly used drugs and their functions. \x0d\ 10。 Torreya grandis leaves 1 bar, decocted in water and washed outside can cure beriberi. \x0d\ 1 1.
