Tangerine peel foot bath dosage

Tangerine peel is the peel of oranges, and it has many benefits to the human body. We stand, walk, and perform various activities with our feet every day, so our feet are more prone to fatigue. We can use orange peel to soak our feet to relieve fatigue. Orange peel can not only improve foot fatigue, but also has many benefits to the feet. But some people don’t know how much orange to use for foot soaking, and how much tangerine peel to use for foot soaking? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What is the dosage of tangerine peel for foot soaking?

Tangerine peel needs to be processed. You should first rinse off the dirt on the surface with clean water. You can first boil 10 grams of tangerine peel in water, then let it cool to a suitable water temperature, and then soak your feet. It can remove dampness and cold, moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements, and smooth the skin.

2. Benefits of orange peel bathing

Bathing with orange peel can moisturize the skin. In a dry climate, the skin easily loses moisture, becomes rough and inelastic. Citrus peel is rich in organic acids, vitamin C and essential oils. After soaking in hot water, these substances dissolve and penetrate into the skin through the open pores during bathing, stimulating the capillaries under the epidermis and promoting metabolism. These ingredients form a thin film on the skin surface, which can prevent moisture evaporation and make the skin smooth and delicate. Citrus peels can also condition your hair, leaving it smooth and soft after washing.

Soaking your feet in citrus peels can improve your sleep and help you fall asleep sweetly. However, tangerine peel is pungent and warm in nature, so people with skin allergies, fever, dry mouth, constipation, yellow urine, etc. should use it with caution.

Soaking your feet in citrus peels also has a warming effect, and is especially suitable for people who have a cold constitution and are afraid of colds. It also has a good effect on treating early-stage colds.

Fresh orange peel can also treat foot sandworms. When there are dirty water stains between the toes, it is easy to become itchy. If you scratch it, the skin will break and water will ooze out, and there will be a bad smell. At this time, you can use fresh orange peel to vigorously rub the itchy area, which has a very good anti-itching effect.

We need to remind everyone not to take a bath directly with fresh orange peel, because its surface is contaminated with pesticides and preservatives, which may irritate the skin.
