Wormwood is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which is pungent, bitter, warm and slightly toxic. Entering the liver, spleen and kidney meridians, it has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving pain, warming meridians and stopping bleeding. It can achieve a certain health care effect when used for soaking feet.

However, if the temperature of wormwood foot bath water is not enough, the components in wormwood can not be fully dissolved, thus reducing the efficacy of wormwood foot bath water. Before the foot soaking period, boil the foot soaking water of wormwood. High temperature can destroy the tissue of wormwood, so that the components in wormwood can be fully and quickly dissolved, and the foot soaking effect is better. Therefore, the foot bath water of wormwood should be boiled.

How long does it take for wormwood to soak its feet? About 30 minutes.

There is no strict time limit for how long the wormwood foot soaking water lasts, but in order to fully dissolve the components in wormwood, it is necessary to boil the wormwood foot soaking water, and the time required for boiling the wormwood foot soaking water will vary according to different factors such as temperature and water quantity.

Moreover, it takes some time for all the components in wormwood to dissolve. If the boiling time is too short, the efficacy of wormwood foot bath water will be reduced, but if the boiling time is too long, the dissolved components will volatilize and the efficacy of wormwood foot bath water will be reduced. Therefore, wormwood foot bath water can be boiled until it changes color, and the whole process takes about 30 minutes.

Can I soak my feet with wormwood with cold water? It depends.

Whether wormwood can add cold water to soak feet depends on the water temperature, but it takes a certain temperature to soak feet to achieve the effect. When the water temperature is suitable or low, no cold water can be added.

However, if the water temperature is too high, it will easily cause skin burns. If the water temperature is too high, it will lead to vasodilation of the lower limbs and insufficient blood supply to the upper body, which will cause dizziness, brain swelling, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other discomfort. In this case, adding cold water can help the foot bath water drop to a suitable temperature, thus avoiding discomfort. Therefore, whether wormwood foot bath water can be added with cold water requires more water temperature.
