Soaking feet after childbirth is an excellent way for new mothers to relax and plays an important role in restoring physical health. Moderate water temperature helps relax muscles, relieve fatigue, improve blood circulation, alleviate pain, promote better sleep, boost immunity, and accelerate the recovery process. However, there are several precautions to keep in mind. First, new mothers should avoid water that is too hot, as it may increase fatigue, impair blood circulation, and hinder recovery. Second, women with chronic conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, or liver disease should refrain from foot soaking. Finally, mothers should pay close attention to water temperature during foot soaking and stop immediately if they feel any discomfort to prevent accidents.
