How to soak your feet in winter?
1, choose the right foot bath tub. Since it is a foot bath, 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 won't help you stay healthy. At most, I wash my feet, not soak them. The right choice is to buy a deep wooden barrel that can put the whole calf in. Why choose wooden barrels? First, it is easier to keep warm, and second, it is close to nature.

2. Select heating equipment. This kind of foot bath bucket sold in the market has no heating equipment, so when we soak our feet, sometimes we feel that the water is cold. To heat the water, we can prepare more hot water bottles and fill them with hot water before soaking our feet.

3. How to confirm the foot soaking effect? Why did you get your feet wet? It is good to soak in your back and feel a little damp, or sweat on your forehead. Be careful not to sweat. Because sweat is the liquid of the heart. Sweating too much will make you sad. As long as you sweat a little, you will be fine, which means that your meridians are connected from top to bottom. This is also a way to prove whether your meridians are open or not.

4. The best time to soak your feet: Although soaking your feet has a good health care effect on shoulder, back, waist and leg joint pain, insomnia, itchy skin, cough and asthma, it is not good for your health to control the time to soak your feet according to your personal physique and diseases. Soak your feet for 30-45 minutes, once a day or every other day. There is also a hot foot bath method in traditional Chinese medicine: before each foot bath, the boiled liquid medicine is put into water (which can be diluted), and then it is carried out according to the method of ordinary hot foot bath.

5, the best water temperature for soaking feet: The water temperature for soaking feet should not be overheated or too cold, and it is generally appropriate to keep it at 38℃-43℃. If conditions permit, you can put your feet in water around 38℃ first, and then let the bath water gradually heat up to around 42℃ to keep the water temperature. When soaking your feet, water usually overflows your ankles, so you should rub it often.
