The best time to do pedicure in a day is half an hour before going to bed, and it is best to soak your feet for about half an hour every time, so your body will sweat slightly.

Precautions for pedicure (foot bath):

First, when soaking feet, we should pay attention to moderate temperature (40-45℃ is the best), which not only prevents the water temperature from burning the skin, especially those who are in a coma and can't take care of themselves, but also makes cold water constrict blood vessels, which is beneficial to health. It is best to let the water temperature gradually heat up according to the situation of the feet.

Second, the foot bath time should be 30-40 minutes, and the water temperature should be kept during the foot bath time. Especially in the foot bath treatment, only by maintaining a certain temperature and ensuring the prescribed foot bath time can the curative effect of the medicine be maximized, thus achieving the therapeutic effect.

Thirdly, when soaking feet with drugs, if you give your feet proper physical stimulation, such as massage, pinching or rubbing your feet, you can also use a foot bath with heating and massage functions to soak your feet, and the effect is better.

Fourth, foot bath should not be 30 minutes before and after meals. Because the blood vessels in the foot dilate, the blood volume increases, and the blood in the gastrointestinal tract and viscera decreases, which affects the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract. Soaking feet before meals may inhibit the secretion of gastric juice, which is not conducive to digestion. Foot bath immediately after meals will reduce the blood volume of gastrointestinal tract and affect digestion.

Fifth, when taking foot bath, some drugs can blister externally, or local skin is red and itchy. Some patients have special constitutions and may have allergic reactions after taking the medicine. After these symptoms appear, medication should be stopped.

Sixth, the dosage of external drugs used for foot bath is large, and some drugs are toxic, so they are generally not suitable for import. At the same time, after foot medication, the affected area should be cleaned and dried.

Seventh, people with infectious skin diseases, such as tinea pedis, should pay attention to the possibility of self-infection and cross-infection. Members of the same family should use their own bathtubs to prevent cross-infection or spread infectious diseases.

Eighth, when doing foot bath, due to the expansion of blood vessels in the feet and lower limbs, the blood volume increases, which can cause acute anemia and dizziness in the head. When the above symptoms appear, you can wash your feet with cold water, so that the blood vessels in your feet contract and the blood fully flows to your head, thus eliminating acute anemia in your head and relieving the symptoms.

Ninth, patients with bleeding and other symptoms should not take foot bath.
