Tired, cold, or feeling stressed? A soothing foot soak might be just what you need 🛁🦶
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the feet are known as the “second heart” ❤️ — where over 60 acupuncture points and energy meridians meet. A warm herbal soak is more than relaxation… it’s a healing ritual.
Why soak?
- Boosts circulation and warms cold feet
- Calms the nervous system and eases stress
- Unblocks meridians to support energy flow
- Encourages gentle detox through light sweating
When’s best?
1–2 hours before sleep 😴 or at least 2 hours after eating. Soak for 15–20 minutes, or until you begin to sweat slightly.
Herbs to try:
Ginger, mugwort, angelica (dang gui), red dates, lavender
⚠️ Avoid foot soaks if you have reduced foot sensation (e.g. severe diabetes), open wounds, or certain skin conditions. Pregnant ladies best to check with a professional first.
Aftercare tip:
Dry off completely, drink warm water, and massage your legs for extra relaxation 💧👣
✨ A small daily ritual with centuries of wisdom behind it.
