What is the appropriate temperature for children to soak their feet?

Although soaking feet is a trivial matter, the pressure inside should not only take into account the water temperature, but also pay attention to the seasonal changes. Today, we will popularize some knowledge about baby soaking feet.

First, soak your feet in spring.

After the spring, many children often have pain in their knees, ankles, femur and other parts because of their rapid growth. At this time, parents should give their children hot water to soak their feet before going to bed every night, and do appropriate leg massage to relieve the growing pain. However, it should be noted that you must pay attention to the water temperature when soaking your feet, which is generally kept at 38~40 degrees.

Second, soak your feet in summer

The heat is sultry and humid, and foot diseases are high. In Tu Tu, when the weather is cool, many people often neglect the maintenance of their feet. For children, foot bathing in summer has many functions, such as relieving summer heat and dampness, preventing diarrhea, nourishing the spleen and stomach, and relieving indigestion. The suitable temperature of foot bath water is 40℃ (the normal body temperature in summer is 36℃~37℃, and the water temperature should be 2℃~3℃ higher than normal), and it is soaked for 20 ~ 30 minutes each time. Do not soak your feet within half an hour after meals, and 19~2 1 at night is the best. At this time, the kidney meridian is the weakest, and soaking feet can make up for it. Avoid soaking feet for too long, and it is advisable to have a slight sweat on your body and a reddish instep.

Third, soak your feet in autumn.

"Sleeping in spring and lacking in autumn" is a natural phenomenon with alternating seasons, and "autumn depression" occurs mostly in autumn. For children, soaking feet can promote blood circulation and refresh their minds. In addition, the dry climate in autumn is easy to cause itching and getting angry, which can be alleviated by soaking feet. However, it should be noted that the temperature of soaking feet should be kept at 40 degrees (the temperature of babies is 2 degrees lower than that of adults is the most suitable temperature), and 15 minutes is appropriate, so as to play a role in health care and relieve fatigue. Soaking feet for half an hour before going to bed at night will greatly refresh the quality of sleep.

Fourth, soak your feet in winter

Soak your feet in winter, and your abdomen is warm and irritable. Insist on soaking feet with hot water properly before going to bed, which has the functions of regulating viscera function, eliminating dampness and dispelling cold, and strengthening the body. The water temperature of soaking feet is slightly higher than other seasons, and it is appropriate to keep it at 42 degrees for 20 minutes until the forehead is slightly sweaty. At this time, it shows that the hot air is warm to the viscera and meridians. If you sweat all over for too long, it will consume your energy, so it is important to master calories.

Generally speaking, parents should control the temperature of the baby's foot bath at 38-45 degrees, and children under 6 years old should not soak for a long time. Because the baby's arch hasn't formed before he is 6 years old, he often washes his feet with hot water. The plantar ligament will relax when heated, which will affect the development of the arch of the foot and easily cause permanent deformity of the foot. It may also bend and deform the spine, and even affect the normal development of the brain, heart and abdominal cavity.
