Why do I sweat on my back and forehead after soaking my feet?

After soaking your feet, you may find that your back and forehead are sweating. This is a normal phenomenon and a reaction of the body. However, we can understand our health status through sweating in different parts of the body. Sweating in the lower body is likely caused by kidney deficiency and physical weakness. These people should strengthen physical exercise, quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and use some methods to dredge the meridians.

1. Sweating in the lower body indicates physical weakness

This situation is mostly caused by kidney cold. Kidney cold is a manifestation of imbalance of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine. You may want to eat more walnuts, sesame seeds and other foods to help regulate it. At the same time, you should also strengthen physical exercise, quit smoking and drinking, combine work and rest, and adjust your mentality. For women, it is mostly due to body weakness and coldness. Some Chinese medicine practitioners suggest that you can regulate your body by replenishing qi and blood, or you can open up the body's meridians and sweat glands by soaking your feet for a long time.

2. Sweating on the upper body indicates qi deficiency

It is usually due to qi deficiency that causes sweating in the upper body when soaking feet. Qi deficiency usually manifests itself as lack of energy, lack of physical strength and energy, and feeling tired after the slightest effort. If the qi deficiency is not too serious, it can be adjusted through diet.

3. How to make foot soaking more effective?

The foot soaking time should not be too long, 15-30 minutes is best. If the time is too long, it will easily increase the burden on the heart. Secondly, foot soaking is different from general foot washing. The feet must be soaked to a certain degree and reach a certain amount of stimulation to achieve the effect of foot soaking. Therefore, when you start soaking your feet, pour in a small amount of hot water until it covers the back of your feet. Be careful not to make the water temperature too hot, about 40℃ is appropriate. Afterwards, as the water temperature drops, gradually add hot water to maintain the water temperature until you see your feet turn red, feel heat all over your body, and sweat slightly.
