1.Millennia of Tradition, Scientific Health Preservation
The history of herbal soaking is long-standing. According to TCM theory, the human body’s meridians are like a vast network connecting various organs. The feet, in particular, are known as the “second heart” as they are the starting points of many meridians and important acupuncture points.
Selected herbs are ground into powder for soaking. The active ingredients of the herbs can penetrate through the skin, travel along the meridians, and affect the entire body, regulating the flow of Qi and blood, stimulating organ functions, thus achieving health preservation.
2.Suitable for the Whole Family, Diverse Benefits
Whether it’s a busy office worker troubled by stress and fatigue, an elderly person suffering from joint pain and insomnia, or a child with a weak immune system prone to illness, herbal soaking can play a unique role.
3. Simple and Easy, A Family Essential
You can easily start your health journey at home without professional equipment; all you need is a foot soaking bucket to enjoy the benefits of herbal soaking.
Generally, soak for 20-30 minutes until you start to sweat lightly, 3-5 times a week. During this process, you can also share warm moments with family, chat about daily life, and add warmth to the family.
Don’t let health preservation become a difficult task; choose herbal soaking to let the whole family gain health in daily life, starting a new way of family health preservation.
Herbal soaking is not only used for daily health preservation but is also an important component of TCM external treatment methods. The “Huangdi Neijing” states, “If there is evil, soak the body to induce sweat,” and “for cold, warm it; for heat, rub and bathe it,” which discusses soaking. The terms “soak” and “bathe” refer to soaking, laying the theoretical foundation for the soaking therapy. It utilizes the power of herbs and heat to act on the body through the skin and mucous membranes, promoting the opening of pores, harmonizing the meridians, and ensuring smooth Qi and blood flow, thus achieving the prevention and treatment of diseases. It is widely applied in TCM clinical practice, featuring significant effects and shortened illness duration.
To highlight the unique advantages of TCM, our hospital has developed different types of herbal bath packages based on patient symptoms, including treatments for children’s colds, coughs, fevers, rhinitis, digestive issues, and enhancing immunity, as well as adult pain, insomnia, and sub-health conditions.
