Why soak your feet in wooden barrels instead of plastic ones?
In the health culture of Chinese medicine, soaking feet can dredge meridians, dredge blood vessels and improve immunity, which is an effective health care method. Since it is a bubble, it is necessary to embody the word "bubble". The "bubble" here means more water, enough heat and a long time. You can't take a basin and put some water in it. That doesn't work for health. At most, it is foot washing, not foot soaking and pedicure. The benefits of soaking feet in wooden barrels are as follows:

1, naturally

Wooden barrels are made of pure natural materials, and only when workers finalize the design can they produce finished products. Unlike plastic pots, most of them contain toxic and harmful substances, especially the elderly and children.

2, heat preservation effect

The barrel has a good insulation effect. According to relevant experiments, the temperature of hot water in a barrel only drops by 2-3 degrees within one hour, saving water and electricity. Plastic barrels have poor heat insulation.

3. Durable

Compared with electric foot bath tub, wooden bucket is cheap and durable. If properly used and preserved, a top-quality wooden barrel can be used continuously for more than ten years, but it is economical.

4, you can soak your calves

High wooden barrels help to soak calves and sweat easily, achieving the desired effect.

5. Smooth

Wooden barrels are not easy to shake, sometimes it is more stable to put your feet in the past or put them on, but plastic barrels are different.

Matters needing attention in using soaking bucket

1. Wooden barrels will be coated with tung oil when they leave the factory. Therefore, a few days before the purchase, be sure to keep the bathroom air circulating, open the window regularly and ventilate, and don't let the home be full of pungent smell.

2. When testing water for the first time, it should be filled with water to soak for more than 10 hour, so that the barrel can be fully infiltrated and water seepage can be reduced.

3. Don't directly bask in the sun or be blown by cold wind; When not in use, it is best to put a little water to absorb moisture and keep the wood saturated and moist. If it is not used for more than two months for a long time, it can be sealed with a large plastic bag after the barrel is damp to avoid the air taking away moisture.

4. Don't save the dirty water after bathing, so as to avoid wood absorbing sewage and accelerating aging or producing mildew spots.

After the barrel is used for a period of time, the iron wire fixed outside the barrel will be a little loose. At this time, you can turn the bucket upside down first, then tighten the line and continue to use the heated water.
