Time: Before going to bed

The best time to soak your feet is 9 pm, before going to bed. Because this is the time when the kidney meridian is weak in qi and blood, soaking feet at this time can increase the heat in the body, make qi and blood run smoothly, and care for the health of viscera.

It is best not to do other activities after soaking your feet, and you will fall asleep every few minutes.

The foot soaking time is controlled at 20-40 minutes.

Never soak your feet with water endlessly. Soaking feet for too long will lead to excessive blood flowing into internal organs and increase the pressure on the body.

Therefore, the Tibetan Bath Hall reminds you that the foot bath time is enough, so don't lengthen the foot bath time just because you are comfortable.

Many customers ask how deep the foot bath in Zangyutang is.

If you don't put your feet in the water, it's called soaking your feet. The depth of soaking feet is particular. Soak at the Sanyinjiao of the calf, activate the meridians at the calf, massage the leg, and strengthen the circulation of the lower body.

As for the water depth, the depth of the barrel is enough. Why do you advocate wooden barrels?

Because you soak your feet in the barrel, the soles of your feet are warm and comfortable. Unlike plastic pots, even if the pot is warm, the bottom of the pot is cold.

Moreover, wood itself has plant characteristics, just like the cedar foot bath bucket before.

Tang Materia Medica records that cedar is sweet in taste and flat in nature, and enters the heart, liver, spleen, kidney and bladder meridians. Soothes relaxed nerves, soothes fluctuating emotions and relieves daily work pressure. ...

Therefore, soaking feet should be soaked in wooden barrels until the calf is in Sanyinjiao.

water temperature

About the water temperature, Zangyutang has reminded me many times, 37-40. Why do you repeatedly emphasize the water temperature? This is because if the water temperature is too high, a large amount of blood will flow to the lower limbs, causing physical discomfort.

On the other hand, if the water temperature is too high, it is easy to destroy the sebum membrane on the skin surface of the foot, making the stratum corneum dry or even chapped. So soak your feet in warm water and don't burn them.

Finally, be sure to test the temperature by hand. When soaking feet, when you are not sure about the temperature of water, it is recommended to try with your hands instead of your feet, because your hands are more sensitive to temperature than your feet.

Zangyutang reminds you to soak your feet and sweat a little on your back.

Soak your feet in hot water until you feel slightly wet on your back or sweaty on your forehead, and you're done.

I want to remind you that you must not stop until you sweat. Chinese medicine says that "sweat is the liquid of the heart", sweating will make you sad, and you can sweat slightly.

attitude

Sit up straight when soaking your feet, because soaking your feet is a process of smooth blood flow. If you lie down while soaking your feet, it will hinder qi and blood and affect the original intention of soaking your feet for health.

rest

I don't know if you have noticed that in the process of practicing martial arts and yoga, you pay great attention to saving your strength.

People often mention the word "close your eyes". Is in the process of self-cultivation, close your eyes and close the visual channel.

Let the whole person calm down, "fish themselves out" from the complicated life, focus on the present, focus on what they are doing, and get real peace and rest without being influenced by external things.

A pot of soup at the foot of Zangyutang is so slippery!
