【How long is the best time to soak your feet in Sichuan peppercorn】
Generally speaking, the most suitable time for foot soaking is 30-45 minutes, and it is better to soak once a day or once every one or two days.
When soaking your feet, sprinkle Sichuan peppercorn into hot water and soak for a while. Alternatively, you can wrap the Sichuan peppercorn in gauze and soak for a while.

【What are the benefits of foot soaking】
Do you know the benefits of foot soaking for the body? According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the five Zang organs and six Fu organs start from the three Yin meridians (spleen, liver, and kidney), and there are 66 acupuncture points below the ankle.
In winter, due to the cold stimulation, blood vessels in the feet contract and blood circulation becomes obstructed, which can easily lead to various diseases. Soaking your feet in hot water can improve local blood circulation, drive away coldness, promote metabolism, and have the effect of health preservation.
According to medical explanations, there are many acupuncture points on the soles of our feet, and soaking them in hot water can accelerate blood circulation and stimulate these acupuncture points, achieving the effect of health preservation. Generally speaking, soaking your feet at 9 p.m. is the best time to nourish the kidneys.
Foot soaking can promote metabolism, strengthen internal circulation, and deliver blood to the peripheral areas of the feet, which can reduce the occurrence of high-risk diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, and stroke.
In addition, foot soaking can also promote blood circulation in the soles of the feet. The soles of the feet are at the bottom of the body for a long time, and microcirculation is not sufficient in winter. Soaking your feet helps to circulate blood, remove waste from the body, and supply nutrients.
