In the cold winter, many female friends have the habit of soaking their feet. Soaking a hot foot every day is conducive to promoting blood circulation and dredging meridians, thus playing a role in keeping warm from the cold and improving cold hands and feet. Soaking feet is good for health, but there are also taboos. The following are the issues that women should pay attention to when soaking their feet in winter:

The longer you soak your feet, the better

Although soaking feet is good for your health, the longer you soak your feet, the better. This is because soaking feet will speed up the blood circulation and heart rate of the human body. Soaking for too long will increase the burden on the heart. Moreover, a large amount of blood will rush to the lower limbs. For a long time, children will feel dizzy and flustered because of insufficient blood supply to the brain, especially patients with cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly. Soak your feet for no more than 15-20 minutes each time. A fever and a little sweat will be fine.

Don't soak your feet too hot.

Soaking feet in high water temperature is not only easy to burn the skin, but also easy to destroy the sebum film on the skin surface of the feet, which will make the skin dry. Moreover, the blood vessels in the feet will be excessively dilated, and a large amount of blood in the body will rush to the lower limbs, which will increase the burden on the heart. Usually the foot bath water is around 40℃.

Don't soak your feet in special times.

Just after eating, you go to soak your feet, and a lot of blood will rush to your lower limbs, which will reduce the blood supply to your stomach, and then you will have indigestion and make people feel uncomfortable. Moreover, soaking feet when you are too hungry, too tired and have a fever is harmful to your health. You must pay attention. In addition, it is best for female friends not to soak their feet during menstruation, otherwise it will easily lead to excessive menstrual blood and even collapse.

Soak your feet, don't trust folk remedies.

There are many foot bath formulas on the market and online, and many women will try them. But female friends should pay attention that even if the substances in foot bath are beneficial to human body, not all health care products are suitable for them. It is recommended to ask the advice of Chinese medicine before using it.

It is recommended to use a wooden basin for soaking feet.

The wooden basin has a good insulation effect. Experiments show that the temperature of hot water in the barrel is only 2-3 degrees within one hour, which saves water and electricity and is durable. The material of the wooden basin has the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine, which is incomparable to any other foot bath.

Pay attention to the wind when soaking feet.

When soaking feet, after soaking, because the pores are open, it is particularly easy to catch cold. It is generally recommended to put on socks in time after soaking your feet, and don't let the cold invade.

You can't fall asleep immediately after soaking your feet.

Many people are used to going to bed immediately after soaking their feet, but it is recommended not to go to bed immediately after soaking their feet. They can rub the soles of their feet while the whole body heat is relieved, and then go to sleep, thus achieving better health care effect. Keep warm when rubbing your feet.
