Patients with "heat-induced" colds can soak their feet, which not only causes no harm to the body but can also effectively help reduce heat and improve cold symptoms. Moreover, you can soak your feet daily, or add ingredients such as ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and white vinegar to the soaking water. These additions can effectively dispel wind and cold, promote blood circulation, relieve stagnation, and improve sleep quality, as well as accelerate metabolism in the body. Therefore, you can soak your feet daily, but be sure to control the water temperature around 40°C and limit the soaking time to about 15 to 30 minutes to achieve the desired effects of foot soaking.
