Does hot water soak feet have advantage to hypertension

Hot water foot bath is good for hypertension.

If you can control the temperature and duration of foot bath, it has certain benefits for patients with hypertension. Because hot water foot bath can dilate blood vessels and speed up blood flow, it can reduce blood viscosity and reduce blood vessel wall pressure, thus contributing to blood pressure control. In addition, hot water foot bath can relieve fatigue, relax body and mind, and reduce blood pressure caused by tension, anxiety and other emotions. However, if the temperature of the feet is too high and the feet are soaked for too long, it is harmful to the body. Not only is it easy to cause burns, but it may also lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain and even cause coma.

Usually, you should pay attention to adjusting your diet and choose foods with low salt, low fat and low cholesterol.
