Our feet are full of different nerves and acupuncture points and foot soak actually can bring us many benefits!
1. It can promote blood circulation.
2. It can help to speed up the metabolism.
3. It can soothe your muscles and hydrates your skin.
4. It can eliminate oedema (swollen ankles, feet, and legs).
5. It can even help you to achieve weight loss effect.
6. It can prevent bacteria from living in blisters and cuts or under toenails.
There are many details that must be watched out for in order to achieve the best results!
1. Maintain the water temperature at about 40 degrees when you soak your feet.
2. Don't soak your feet for too long, just about 30 minutes.
3. Don't soak your feet when you are hungry! This is because foot soak will speed up fat burning, and there is a chance that you may experience dizziness when your blood sugar drops at that time!
4. Do not soak your feet immediately after a meal because it will affect digestion in the intestines. It is recommended to soak every 1 hour after a meal.
5. Different materials can be added to the water. For example, it is recommended to add ginger when people with cold hands and feet soak their feet. In addition, you can add your favourite flowers to the water.
6. Remember to dry your feet and put on socks after soaking to keep your feet warm.
7. Remember to drink water after soaking!
8. Children, pregnant women, people with diabetes, heart disease, low blood pressure, and varicose veins are not suitable for a foot soak!
