Precautions for using mugwort leaf foot bath to treat dysmenorrhea:

1. Prepare about 50 grams of safflower and mugwort, put them together in a gauze bag, tie them up, and then put them in a pot, add water, boil the water over high heat, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes over low heat, pour the juice into a basin and use it for foot soaking.

2. The temperature of the hot water should not be too high, around 40°~50° is enough.

3. The soaking time should not be too long, as it will increase the burden on the heart. Half an hour is enough.

4. Do not soak your feet within half an hour after a meal. It is best to soak your feet one hour after a meal or before going to bed. Generally speaking, it is best to soak your feet between 5 and 7 pm because the kidney meridian is more active during this period. Remember not to soak your feet on an empty stomach.

5. Women who are menstruating, pregnant, patients with bleeding symptoms and patients with hypertension should not soak their feet.

7. Choose a wooden basin or enamel basin for foot soaking. Do not use a metal or plastic basin, because the chemical components of these basins will react with the medicine to produce harmful substances, which will reduce the efficacy of the medicine.

8. The key to foot soaking is persistence. If you can stick to this foot soaking method for three months to a year, you will be able to regulate your body and get rid of dysmenorrhea forever.

Note: Mugwort can be replaced with Motherwort. If you can’t buy fresh ones, you can buy dried ones at the pharmacy. This formula is suitable for women with cold uterus. Please judge whether it is suitable for you based on your own situation. If your body is feeling hot and dry, please stop taking this mugwort, jujube and brown sugar water.
