Foot bath with ginger is incredibly good, everyone can do it

There are 64 reflex zones on the soles of the feet, corresponding to the internal organs of the human body. There is a saying in my country since ancient times that "washing feet every day is better than taking tonic medicine."

From 7 to 9 p.m., the kidney meridian's qi and blood are at their weakest. Soaking your feet can just replenish your qi and blood. Do not soak your feet within half an hour after dinner, because after a meal, most of the body's blood flows to the digestive system. If you soak your feet at this time, the blood that should flow to the digestive system will flow to the lower limbs, making the digestive system lack of power to digest food, leading to indigestion.

The longer the foot soaking time is, the better it is. It should be suitable for the instep to turn red and the body to sweat slightly. The temperature for foot bath varies from person to person. The normal human body temperature is 36℃~37℃. The water temperature for foot soaking should be 2℃~3℃ higher than normal body temperature, which is about 40℃. For people with more calluses on their feet, the water temperature can be slightly higher; children have tender skin, so the water temperature should be lower; for diabetic patients, because the skin on their feet is not sensitive, the water temperature should also be lower. Too high a temperature can easily cause skin burns.

There should be enough water for foot soaking. It is best to let the water reach your calves, or at least above your ankles.
