How much water is better for soaking feet?
Soak your feet at around 40℃.
Some people soak their feet red, thinking that the higher the water temperature, the better the effect. This is a wrong understanding. When soaking feet, the water temperature should not be too high, just about 40℃. Because the water temperature is too high, the blood in the human body will flow more to the lower limbs after the blood vessels in the feet are excessively dilated, which will easily lead to insufficient blood supply to important organs such as the heart, brain and kidney, and will also destroy the sebum membrane on the skin surface of the feet, making the stratum corneum dry and even chapped. Especially for developing children, soaking feet with overheated water will make plantar ligaments deform and relax, which is not conducive to the development of arch and easy to induce flat feet.
How long can I soak my feet at most?
Soak your feet for 30-45 minutes, once a day or every other day.
There is also a method of hot foot bath with traditional Chinese medicine: put the decocted liquid medicine into water before each foot bath, and then follow the method of ordinary hot foot bath. However, it is necessary to remind the elderly that the foot bath time should be shorter, because the elderly soak for too long, which is easy to cause symptoms such as sweating and palpitation. Therefore, it is better for the elderly to soak their feet for 20 minutes before going to bed every day.
