Hello, I am Dr. Nut, doctor of Chinese medicine at Bangkok J-CLINIC.
Do you know about Chinese footbaths?
They are great for self-care and relaxing. And you can now enjoy Chinese footbath at home with the herbal packs at J-CLINIC!
Warming your feet in a footbath improves blood flow, stimulates your parasympathetic nervous system (the system that relaxes your body), and puts you in a relaxed state.
I recommend them for people who suffer from insomnia, sensitivity to cold, or menstrual cramps and for anyone who is stressed and needs help relaxing.
J-CLINIC’s Chinese footbath contains 12 kinds of herbal medicines
350B for a pack of 5 (tax included). Available at all three J-CLINIC locations.
What are the benefits of Chinese footbaths?
Chinese footbaths can
- help you relax and get a good night’s sleep
- warm chilled hands, feet, and body and ease cramps, numbness, and other symptoms of poor blood circulation
- relieve menstrual irregularities, menstrual cramps, muscle tension, and stress
How to enjoy a Chinese herbal footbath at home
Preparing the Chinese footbath at home is easy.
- Take a basin or tub that you can fit both feet into and fill it with hot water (enough to submerge your feet up to your ankles).
- Put in the Chinese herbal pack and let it steep in the hot water.
- Wait until the water reaches a pleasant warm temperature that’s not too hot.
- Put your feet in and let them soak for 10-15 minutes. Do not soak for more than 30 minutes. A cold footbath is ineffective.
- You can wipe the water from your feet when you get out.
* I recommend you take a footbath before going to bed. It will warm your body and help you fall asleep.
* One pack can be used several times, for 2-3 days .
