What are the taboos of saffron foot bath

Saffron is a relatively precious Chinese medicinal material that can better regulate our body. It can play a good role in activating blood circulation and regulating endocrine disorders. There are many ways to regulate the body with saffron. For example, saffron can be eaten directly or used for foot soaking, which can greatly improve the body. However, there are certain taboos about saffron's improvement of the body. Let's take a look at the taboos of saffron foot soaking.

Saffron Foot Bath Method

Soaking your feet in saffron has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, relaxing muscles and tendons, treating onychomycosis, relieving depression and calming the mind. So how should saffron be used for foot soaking therapy?

You can choose saffron petals or saffron filaments for saffron foot bath. Use about 10 saffron petals each time and 0.1 to 0.2 grams of saffron filaments each time. Soak an appropriate amount of saffron in boiling water, and soak your feet when the water temperature drops to about 40℃ and people can tolerate it.

However, some doctors believe that saffron is a rare medicinal material that has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis while also having the characteristics of nourishing blood without damaging yin. If it is only used for foot soaking, it would be a very luxurious and wasteful behavior. A saffron foot bath is quite luxurious, if you are using real saffron. Because saffron generally costs dozens of yuan per gram, when using real saffron to soak your feet, it is recommended to use one gram three times. In addition, the so-called saffron foot bath packs and foot bath powders on the market do not contain saffron ingredients. Their main ingredient is safflower. Safflower usually costs several dozen yuan per kilogram, and you can put more at a time when soaking your feet.

In short, if you want to maintain your health by soaking in saffron water, it is recommended to use ordinary saffron decoction and then soak your feet in it once a day for about 30 minutes each time. Its effect of promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians is actually not less than using real saffron.

What are the taboos of saffron foot bath

1. When using saffron to soak your feet, the temperature of the hot water must not exceed 50 degrees Celsius. The temperature of the water just poured into the basin may be relatively high. You need to wait for a while for the water temperature to drop before you start soaking your feet.

2. The time for soaking your feet in saffron should not exceed half an hour. Long-term soaking will increase the burden on the heart and is not good for your health.

3. 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.

4. Women who are menstruating, pregnant, patients with hypertension, and patients with bleeding symptoms should not use saffron to soak their feet.

5. It is best to choose a wooden basin or an enamel basin for saffron foot bathing. Avoid using metal and plastic sheets to prevent chemical reactions between the two and the production of substances harmful to the body.

6. The key to health care by foot soaking is persistence. The duration of persistence should be about three months to one year, and the frequency of foot soaking should be once a week.

The above is an introduction to the taboos of saffron foot soaking. After understanding it, we know that saffron foot soaking can play a good role in promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving fatigue. However, it is worth noting that saffron foot soaking time should not be too long, and the water temperature should not exceed 50 degrees. It is also worth noting that pregnant women should not use saffron to soak wine.
