Can cold water be added to soak feet in mugwort water?

Foot soaking is a very simple way to maintain health. Because there are a large number of acupoints on the soles of the feet, the foot soaking method is simple, but the effect is obvious, so it is deeply favored by people. The effect will be better if you add some moxa leaves when soaking your feet. However, many people do not understand how to control water temperature, especially when the ambient temperature is different, it is difficult to control the water temperature. So, can cold water be added when soaking feet in mugwort water? Let’s take a look below.

When we take a bath with mugwort leaves, the temperature must not be too high, otherwise it will easily cause skin burns, which will have an adverse effect on our health. Before entering the bathtub, we'd better feel the temperature with our hands. If we find that the temperature is too high, we can add some cold water to lower the water temperature. Adding cold water will not affect the effect of moxa, so we don’t need to worry too much about this situation, but we don’t need to add too much cold water, so as not to cause the water temperature to be too low, which can easily cause the patient to catch a cold and catch a cold.

There are also many things to note when taking a bath with mugwort leaves. We all know that taking a bath with mugwort leaves can effectively remove cold and dampness from the body, thereby avoiding the occurrence of diseases. However, during the bath, we must pay attention to our physical condition. If symptoms such as itchy, red and swollen skin occur, we should stop bathing in time and go to the hospital for examination immediately. This situation is likely caused by allergies and will seriously endanger the patient's health. The bathing time should not be too long, otherwise it will easily cause wrinkles on the skin and may also cause infection.

In short, if the patient finds that the water temperature is too high when taking an wormwood bath, he or she can add some cold water appropriately, which will not affect the efficacy of the wormwood. Many people may be allergic to mugwort, so if we find ourselves feeling uncomfortable during a bath, we should stop taking a bath in time to avoid causing skin diseases, which would be counterproductive.
