Is it better to sweat or not sweat when soaking your feet?

In life, most people like to soak their feet, because soaking feet in hot water can promote blood circulation throughout the body and make the whole person feel relaxed and comfortable. Most people will sweat when soaking their feet, and only very few people will not sweat. In fact, there are many benefits of soaking your feet and sweating, but everyone has always been wondering what the benefits are and why they don’t sweat. These questions bother everyone. So is it better to sweat or not sweat when soaking your feet?

Soaking your feet can expel cold and waste from the body by clearing the meridians. Sweating indicates that the body is weak and is evidence of detoxification. However, soaking your feet should not be too long, generally 15 to 30 minutes, otherwise it will cause too fast blood circulation and increase the burden on the heart.

Soaking your feet in hot water every night can provide the most practical care to various organs that have been tired all day. At the same time, people will sleep soundly after soaking their feet, and it can also improve the body's immunity. The convenience of bathing today has caused many people to never soak their feet alone. Bathing and soaking in a bath will dilate blood vessels in the skin all over the body, and most of the blood will flow to the limbs, making the internal organs and brain prone to ischemia. Therefore, people who are overly tired or weak are prone to symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and fatigue when bathing and soaking in a bath.

When soaking your feet, you should use a taller bucket. The heat can relax the meridians in your feet and calves, speed up blood circulation, and improve blood supply to organs such as the heart and brain. As the heat continues to increase, you will sweat slightly, which can dredge the meridians, expel the cold and waste in the body, regulate body temperature, and reduce internal heat. In addition, the improvement in blood circulation has a very obvious bidirectional regulatory effect on blood pressure. So I suggest that my friends spend half an hour to relax and adjust their body after a busy day. Don't underestimate this half an hour. As long as you persist in doing it every day, this health care method of foot soaking alone can make you live 10 years longer.

1. Foot soaking method: You need to use a bucket to soak your feet. Although wooden buckets have good heat preservation effect, they are too heavy, too expensive and inconvenient to use. You can go to the supermarket to buy a taller plastic bucket instead and add hot water while soaking. There are many electric footbaths now. It would be better if they could be made taller and as deep as a bucket.

2. Most people choose to soak their feet before going to bed. This is convenient and conducive to sleep. But if you have enough time, especially the elderly, you can soak your feet around 4 to 5 in the afternoon, which is when the bladder meridian and kidney meridian have the most vigorous qi and blood. This is when the kidney-tonifying effect is best. Each time you soak your feet, you usually soak until your whole body becomes hot and you sweat slightly. That's when you are done. You should drink more water after soaking your feet to replenish water in time. It is best to soak your feet while drinking warm water or ginger and brown sugar water to produce more heat inside the body and eliminate cold and dampness through sweating. Children usually soak their feet in winter or when they catch a cold. When they have a cold, they should soak their feet until they sweat.

3. The temperature of the foot soaking water depends on each person's specific heat tolerance. The temperature can be lower at the beginning, and then slowly add hot water and keep heating it up until your whole body is hot.

4. Why do some people not sweat easily when soaking their feet? People who have been soaking their feet for many years do not have this problem. Only those who have just started soaking their feet will have this situation. The reason is still heavy cold and dampness in the body. As long as you keep soaking your feet and slowly expel the cold and dampness in your body, you will sweat easily.
