What are the benefits of foot bath

There are many benefits of foot bath, such as promoting blood circulation in the feet, improving the meridians of the feet, and making our bodies healthier. The health care method of foot bath has existed since ancient times. Especially in the autumn and winter seasons, regular foot bathing can prevent colds and enhance immunity. Foot bath also has the effect of prolonging life. If people take foot baths regularly, the meridians throughout the body will be unblocked, which can regulate the balance of yin and yang.

The water temperature for foot bath is mostly between 36 and 43 degrees Celsius, but generally should not exceed 45 degrees Celsius and should not be lower than 36 degrees Celsius. The water temperature should also be determined by individual differences. For those who are taking a foot bath for the first time, the water temperature can be lower and then gradually increased. The water temperature for foot baths with health-care effects can be lower, while the water temperature can be higher for therapeutic foot baths for arthritis, sequelae of stroke, and cold limbs. When taking a foot bath, it is best to prepare a water thermometer to measure the water temperature at any time. When the water temperature is low, you should add hot water or heat the foot bath liquid.
