Benefits and efficacy of foot soaking
In recent years, foot bath culture has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and various stars are also endorsing the strength of foot bath, and Chinese people have higher requirements for the quality of foot bath products.

Traditional herbal extracts need to go to a pharmacy to get medicine. Boil for about two hours, filter out the residue with gauze and start soaking your feet.

Moreover, the foot-soaking material cannot be reused, because bacteria will be produced during the placing process. It takes so much time to use it once, and the cost is really high.

It is with insight into these problems that the little rhinoceros has launched a foot bath bag, which saves a lot of time, can chat with family, accompany children to do homework and spend time on more valuable things.

Only one bag is needed for soaking feet at a time, and you can stay healthy in less than one breakfast. There is no pressure to use it every day.

Moreover, each bubble is individually packaged, clean and hygienic, and it is very convenient to carry out. If you put it in your bag, it doesn't take up space.

In the process of soaking feet, the soles of feet are "massaged" by water temperature and herbal essence, which makes blood circulation smooth, viscera nourished and body and mind maintained.

Small rhinoceros foot bath bag, simple to operate, convenient and comfortable, has become the choice of millions of healthy families and set off a health care boom.

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 foot bath time is enough, and you can't lengthen the foot bath time at will because you are comfortable.

Water depth | ship

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. An abacus is not like a plastic pot. It is warm and 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

As for the water temperature, we have actually said it 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.

Just a little sweaty on my 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.

The same is true for soaking feet. This is a process of rest. I kept playing mobile phones and watching dramas, awakening my original stable mentality and getting more and more excited.

Furthermore, it may affect sleep.

Having said that, I hope my family can apply what they have learned to their daily lives and their loved ones and cheer for their health.
