1. The foot soaking time should not be too long, 15-30 minutes is appropriate. When soaking your feet, blood will flow to the lower limbs, and the brain is prone to insufficient blood supply. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the elderly who feel chest tightness or dizziness should temporarily stop soaking their feet and take a rest. Diabetic patients have poor peripheral sensory ability, so family members should test the water temperature first to prevent scalding.

2. It is not advisable to soak your feet within half an hour after a meal, as it will affect the blood supply to the stomach and will cause malnutrition in the long run. After eating, most of the blood in the body flows to the digestive tract. If you soak your feet in hot water immediately after a meal, the blood that should flow to the digestive system will flow to the lower limbs instead. Over time, this will affect digestion and absorption and lead to nutritional deficiencies. Therefore, it is best to soak your feet half an hour after a meal.

3. Children should not soak their feet in overheated water for a long time. Because the arch of the foot begins to form in childhood, it is important to protect it from an early age. If you often use hot water to wash your child's feet, the ligaments on the soles of the feet will become loose, which is not conducive to the formation and maintenance of the arch of the foot and can easily lead to flat feet.

4. Women should not use Chinese medicine to soak their feet during menstruation. The problems that women encounter during their menstrual period are more complicated. If you cannot identify the cause and use Chinese medicine to soak your feet, it will not only fail to have a soothing effect, but may also aggravate symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.
