What are the benefits of foot soaking and how to choose a foot soaking basin?

In life, many people like to soak their feet at home after get off work or on break. Soaking feet has many benefits. It not only helps sleep, but is also very beneficial to physical and mental health. So what kind of basin is better for soaking feet?

Foot bath benefits:

First, promote blood circulation. Since ancient times, feet have been considered the second heart of the human body. From the health perspective, feet are farthest from the human heart and bear the heaviest burden, so this place is most likely to cause poor blood circulation. Medical books record: "People have feet, just like trees have roots. When a tree dies, the roots die first. When a person grows old, the feet age first." Soaking feet is an excellent method, especially for those who often feel cold hands and feet.

Second, stimulate the acupuncture points, reflex areas and meridians of the feet. Many people have had foot massages. When the masseur presses on our feet, we will feel pain, soreness and swelling. This basically means that there is a problem with our internal organs in the corresponding reflex area. So, after we have a foot massage, we will feel relaxed all over. At the same time, there are 6 main meridians on the human foot, including the end points of the three yang meridians (bladder meridian, stomach meridian, and gallbladder meridian) and the starting points of the three yin meridians (spleen meridian, liver meridian, and kidney meridian). Therefore, soaking your feet is equivalent to stimulating these six main meridians.

Third, it has a good auxiliary effect in the treatment of many diseases. People often say: "Rich people take tonics, poor people soak their feet." It can be seen that foot soaking has a great effect. Especially in modern society, the extensive use of air conditioners, coupled with people's general preference for eating cold food, leads to more cold and dampness in the body. Soaking your feet can speed up the expulsion of cold from the body.

Choice of footbath:

When buying a foot bath, be sure to buy a deep bucket with automatic water temperature adjustment, and it is better if there are granular massage pads on the soles of your feet and surfing. Labor-saving, comfortable and effective. There are many brands on the market and the prices vary greatly. I prefer to pay a little more for reputable brands that I can use with confidence. Of course, it also depends on your personal financial situation. Be careful not to buy products without any quality assurance, which will cause unnecessary trouble.

In a word, with the improvement of people's living standards nowadays, people are more and more particular about health preservation, which means it should be economical and have good effects. Foot soaking is a very good way to preserve health.
