@easternphilosophy: An ancient remedy for sleep and relaxation 🦶🛁 Our herbal foot soaks contain 24 whole herbs with anti-inflammatory, cold-dispelling, and circulation-promoting benefits. These Chinese medicine herbs include mugwort, Sichuan lovage root, Codonopsis, aged tangerine peel, and more. They are available in 10 and 30 sachet bags on our site 🍃 / One of the most effective and relaxing sleep aids from ancient Chinese wellness culture are nightly foot baths, and now, a new systematic review provides conclusive evidence of their efficacy. Especially during the winter, foot bathing is on our list of top recommended wellness tips. / A February 2024 systematic review from two Iranian medical schools examined 9 randomized controlled trials on the effects of foot baths on sleep found that “a foot bath lasting between 10 and 30 minutes… from ten minutes to two hours before sleep, proves effective in enhancing sleep quality” (Nasiri et al 2024). These studies particularly examined elderly participants, a demographic that often suffers from insomnia. / In ancient China, hot foot baths before bed are a ubiquitous night-time routine for better health and well-being, especially among the older generations. While regular hot water soaks are popular, soaking one’s feet in medicinal herbal formulas have surged in popularity among younger generations, and infuse foot baths with additional benefits. / If you are eager to try a foot bath right away and don’t have a basin or herbal foot soak, you can simply use a thermal food delivery bag and some sliced ginger. It is best to boil the herbs for 5-10 minutes in a small saucepan on the stove and add it to a basin of warm water. / Are foot baths a part of your nightly routine? 🦶🛁🍃 . . . #footbath #herbalmedicine #chinatiktok #chinesemedicine #china #wellness #MentalHealth
