Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "blood will coagulate when it encounters cold", so it is very important to keep a good health care in the cold to ward off the cold. As the so-called cold starts from the feet, the warmth of the feet must not be ignored, and one of the best ways is to soak the feet with traditional Chinese medicine.

Chen Huiqi said that it is best to soak the feet of traditional Chinese medicine with water (or put it in a boiling bag) for 20 to 30 minutes and then boil, and soak the feet when the temperature of the liquid medicine is 37 to 42, 20 to 30 minutes each time.
Of course, not everyone is suitable for foot soaking, and the following groups of people should pay special attention when soaking their feet.
1. Patients with bleeding diseases, such as gastrointestinal bleeding and cerebral hemorrhage, should not soak their feet.
2. Patients with heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, low blood pressure, and frequent dizziness should not soak their feet in too hot water, because this will cause the expansion of blood vessels in the human body, and the blood of the whole body will flow from important organs to the body surface, resulting in ischemia and hypoxia of important organs such as heart and brain.
3. Diabetic patients should pay attention to the water temperature, because the peripheral nerves of diabetic patients cannot normally perceive the outside temperature, even if the water temperature is very high, sometimes they can't feel it, and it is easy to be burned.
4. Women should not soak their feet during pregnancy, menstruation, and abnormal bleeding.
5. Patients with severe inflammation, disease, trauma or scalding should not soak their feet, which can easily cause wound infection.
