Step 1: Prepare the Herbal Foot Soak
Start by preparing the herbal decoction to activate the therapeutic effects of TCM foot soaking. 先准备中药汤液，以激活泡脚的调理效果。
Use a large pot and fill it with sufficient water. Open the herbal pack and add all contents into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for 20 minutes to fully release the therapeutic properties of the herbs.
使用较大的锅，加入充足的水。将中药包打开，把全部药材倒入锅中。先用大火煮至沸腾，再转中小火煮约20分钟，使药材的有效成分充分释放。
Step 2: Strain the Herbal Liquid
Filter the herbal decoction to create a clean and comfortable soaking solution. 将药液过滤，使泡脚更加干净舒适。
After boiling, place a durable plastic liner inside the soaking bucket. Strain the herbal liquid into the liner to remove residue. This helps keep the process clean and comfortable while maintaining the concentration of the herbal decoction.

煮好后，在泡脚桶内放入一个结实的塑料袋，将药液过滤倒入袋中，去除药渣。这样既能保持泡脚过程干净舒适，又能保留中药的浓度与疗效。
Step 3: Soak Your Feet Properly
Immerse your legs in the herbal solution to activate circulation and enhance therapeutic effects. 将双腿浸泡于药液中，促进气血循环，增强调理效果。
Place both legs into the soaking bucket, ideally with the water level reaching just below the knees. Cover the bucket and legs with a towel to retain heat and allow the herbal steam to circulate.
Soak for about 15–20 minutes, using your body’s response as a guide. A gradual feeling of warmth and slight sweating indicates optimal effect. Avoid excessive sweating, as gentle perspiration is ideal.

将双腿放入泡脚桶中，水位建议至膝盖下方。用毛巾覆盖桶口及双腿，以保持温度并促进药气上行。
泡脚约15–20分钟，以身体感觉为标准。当身体逐渐变暖、微微出汗时，为最佳效果。避免大汗淋漓，以“微微出汗”为宜。
Step 4 — Post-Soak After Care
Keep your body warm and protected after your foot soak 泡脚后注意保暖，保护身体避免受凉
After soaking, gently dry your legs and feet completely.
Keep your body warm by wearing long pants and socks to preserve the therapeutic effect.
Avoid showering right after a foot soak. Wait about 1 hour, as your pores are open and your body is more susceptible to cold.
泡脚后，应及时擦干双腿和双脚。
穿上长裤和袜子，注意保暖，以维持泡脚的调理效果。
避免在泡脚后立即洗澡。建议间隔约1小时，此时毛孔处于开放状态，身体较容易受凉。
Step 5 — Reuse & Storage of Herbal Foot Soak
Reuse your herbal soak safely and effectively for multiple days 安全且高效地重复使用您的泡脚药水，多日持续利用
After soaking, tie and seal the bag to store the herbal solution for the next day. Discard the plain water outside the bag.
Before the next use, prepare 20–30 minutes in advance. Add very hot water to the outside of the bag to gently reheat the herbal solution inside.
Wait until the temperature feels comfortably warm, then begin soaking.
Each herbal preparation can typically be reused for 3–5 days.
泡完后，将药包袋打结密封，留作第二天继续使用；桶外的清水直接倒掉。
第二天使用前，提前 20–30 分钟准备，在袋子外加入热水，通过外部加热使袋内药水回温。
待温度达到“偏热但舒适”即可开始泡脚。
一份药水一般可重复使用 3–5 天。
