1.The temperature is right.
The water temperature for foot soak should be suitable, not too hot or too cold. Too hot water temperature can cause burns, while too cold water temperature will not work to soak your feet. Generally speaking, the water temperature of foot soaking should be controlled between 40 -50, which can effectively promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue.
2.The timing is appropriate.
The time to soak your feet is also something to be aware of. If you soak your feet for too long, it may cause your feet to become fragile, and if the time is too short, you won't be able to give full play to the effect of foot soaking. Generally speaking, the time of foot soaking should be controlled to about 20-30 minutes, which can effectively relax the body and mind and relieve fatigue.
3.Moderate depth.
The depth of the foot soak is also something to be aware of. If you don't soak your feet deep enough, you won't be able to relax your foot muscles completely, and if you soak your feet too deeply, it may cause discomfort. Generally speaking, the depth of foot soaking should be controlled at about 20-30 cm, which can effectively relieve foot fatigue.
4.Massage assistance.
During the process of foot soaking, proper massage can help to better relax the foot muscles and promote blood circulation. The soles and insteps of the feet can be gently massaged with your fingers, or you can use tools such as massagers to massage.
