According to traditional medicine, the foot is where many amniotic fluids related to internal organs are concentrated, especially the liver and kidneys. Soaking your feet every night helps stimulate theseactors, promoting blood circulation, thereby supporting the liver's detoxification process.
Proper foot soaking method:
Water temperature: Use warm water around 4043°C, not too hot to avoid skin and aquaculture damage.
Time: Soak from 1520 minutes, preferably around 9pm10pm when the liver begins detoxification.
Fortified herbs: You can add ingredients such as ginger, sea salt, mugwort leaves or grapefruit peel to soak water to increase detoxification and reduce fatigue.
A study published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine showed that herbal foot soaks help improve ALT and AST - two indicators of liver function - after 2 weeks of regular application.
In addition to its effect on the liver, foot soaks also help reduce stress, support deep sleep, improve cold feet and circulatory disorders. However, people with severe varicose veins, severe diabetes or leg wounds should consult a doctor before applying.
In short, soaking your feet properly is not only a relaxation habit, but also a natural therapy to help support the liver to detoxify every day.
