First prepare the wooden foot soaking barrel, the wooden foot soaking barrel has good thermal insulation performance. But the only drawback is that it is more cumbersome and cumbersome to operate. There is also a kind of foot soaking barrel is automatic heating, it is more convenient to use, will not worry about the temperature change of water, and the temperature control of water at 40-50 °C is more suitable. In the water you can add vinegar, salt, safflower, mugwort leaves, orange peel, cinnamon, peppercorns and other things. Depending on personal circumstances, such as I am usually afraid of cold, I add ginger or mugwort leaves to the water to soak my feet to drive away the cold, which can improve the symptoms of chills.

Soaking feet in hot water can not only stimulate acupuncture points, cure diseases, health care, strengthen the body, promote blood circulation in the feet, reduce local muscle tension, but also eliminate fatigue and improve sleep. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the foot is the starting and ending point of the foot three yin meridians and the foot three yang meridians, and is closely related to all the internal organs meridians of the whole body, and soaking the feet with hot water can play a role in adjusting the function of the internal organs and enhancing physical fitness.
The temperature of the water should not be too high, which will make the blood vessels in the feet expand excessively, so that the blood of the human body flows to the lower limbs, resulting in insufficient blood supply to important organs such as heart, brain and kidneys, and symptoms such as dizziness and chest tightness. In addition, if the water temperature is too high, it is easy to destroy the sebum membrane on the surface of the skin of the feet, making the epidermis dry or even cracked. The time to soak your feet should not be too long, it is best to soak for about 20-35 minutes.
