Do women soak their feet every night?

I am a Chinese medicine practitioner.

Soaking feet every day is good for the internal organs.

I can tell you absolutely.

If you insist.

You will find that your body will not be cold.

Let me give you some advice:

It is cold in winter, so people like to soak their feet with hot water before going to bed to promote blood circulation, eliminate fatigue and improve sleep. However, in addition to paying attention to the appropriate water temperature, we should also pay attention to the following issues:

First, soaking feet should not be too long.

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. 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 pay special attention. If you feel chest tightness and dizziness, you should temporarily stop soaking your feet and lie in bed immediately.

Second, don't soak your feet for half an hour after dinner.

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. Therefore, it is best to wash feet after eating 1 hour.

Third, it is best to use a wooden basin or an enamel basin for soaking feet in traditional Chinese medicine.

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.
