The best time for women to soak their feet

I believe many people in life know that foot soaking is very good for the body. Soaking feet at different times has different effects on the body. However, in the eyes of most people, it is very important to master the time when soaking feet. You can choose to soak your feet before going to bed. You cannot soak your feet within a short period of time after a meal. The best time for soaking feet is at night.

Most people know that foot soaking has its benefits, but many people also know that soaking feet at different time periods has slightly different effects. Li Wenhai, a professor at Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, suggested that if you want to protect your kidneys, it is best to soak your feet around nine o'clock in the evening for the best effect.

The reason for choosing this time period to nourish the kidneys is that this is the time when the qi and blood of the kidney meridian are relatively weak. When soaking your feet at this time, the body heat will increase, and the blood vessels in the body will expand, which is beneficial to blood circulation, thereby promoting blood circulation in the body.

Soaking your feet in hot water can not only nourish the kidneys and liver, but also help improve sleep quality. If you do a few minutes of foot massage after soaking your feet, it will improve the blood circulation in the body and further regulate the internal organs. After soaking your feet, it is recommended not to engage in other activities and fall asleep after a few minutes for better kidney-tonifying effects.

When soaking your feet, the water temperature should not be too hot, about 40℃ is appropriate. The soaking time should not be too long, about half an hour is appropriate. Since metal is easy to cool, it is best to use a wooden basin as a container for foot soaking. You can put some salvia miltiorrhiza and angelica sinensis, which are good for promoting blood circulation, or some forsythia suspensa, honeysuckle, isatis root, and chrysanthemum in it to play the role of reducing fire and clearing away heat.
