Some old people say that you can't soak your feet during menstruation. There is no scientific basis for it. It just represents a traditional saying. Now Butty will talk to you about whether you can soak your feet during menstruation from the perspective of the effects of soaking your feet.

1. Promote blood circulation

As we all know, soaking your feet is beneficial to blood circulation. Even if you soak your feet normally, you will feel comfortable all over your body, and this is especially true during menstruation.

For women with qi stagnation and blood stasis, small blood clots often appear during menstruation. Foot soaking can effectively alleviate this phenomenon and make your body feel relaxed.

Many people will produce a thin layer of sweat on their bodies after soaking their feet for a period of time. This is because soaking the feet can increase the body's temperature and have the effect of dispelling the cold.

Many women are afraid of the arrival of menstruation, the main reason being dysmenorrhea. In severe cases, they even have to stay in bed during menstruation.

And the effect of soaking feet with Chinese herbal medicine is better.

Precautions

After explaining to you whether you can soak your feet during menstruation, butty will briefly introduce to you the precautions for soaking your feet during menstruation.

1. The water temperature should not be too high

Many people think that it is better to have a higher water temperature when soaking your feet. In fact, it is not true. The water temperature should not be too high when soaking your feet. You can add some hot water every once in a while. After a few times, you will know what water temperature is suitable for your body. The higher the water temperature is not necessarily better for your body.

2. Do not randomly place Chinese medicine

Many people choose to add some Chinese medicinal materials when soaking their feet, but Butty wants to remind everyone not to add Chinese medicinal materials casually. You should go to a special place to consult a doctor before adding them. Otherwise, if you add them blindly, it is likely to have the opposite effect.

3. Keep soaking your feet

Butty recommends that you soak your feet for about 30 minutes each time, and don’t just soak your feet when you have dysmenorrhea. You should also persist in soaking your feet at other times. If you can persist for three months, I believe your dysmenorrhea symptoms will be alleviated.
