If you want to lose weight, you must first replenish qi and blood and restore endocrine and metabolism to normal levels.

After the water temperature drops, it is necessary to heat the water inside. We can prepare a thermos full of hot water. When the water temperature in the basin drops, we can add some hot water to the basin with a thermos bottle.

2. Don't take too long

Soaking feet for too long has accelerated blood circulation, which will burden the heart. But the foot bath time is too short, and the effect is not good. Generally, the foot soaking time is about 15 minutes, not more than 30 minutes.

Don't put your feet in hot water at once.

You can't soak your feet in hot water at once The correct way is to slowly put the legs into the water, so that the skin at the calf can slowly adapt to the water temperature and avoid sudden high temperature stimulation. Some people will freeze their feet in the lower body. The muscles and skin of chilblain feet are in a stiff state. It is not advisable to soak your feet with hot water immediately, because warm water is used to preheat your legs and relax your leg muscles, and then hot water is used to soak your feet.
