Can people with high blood pressure and heart disease soak their feet?

Patient's question:

My father's health has generally been good, but he has a bit of high blood pressure. He has also been consistently taking medication for it. Now, I would like to ask you, doctor, if high blood pressure and heart disease can be treated with foot baths?

Doctor's answer:

According to your condition, it is appropriate to soak your feet. Soaking feet is beneficial for stabilizing the blood circulation of the foot extremities, making blood supply smoother and appropriately reducing the pressure on the heart. At the same time, soaking feet can also reduce fatigue in the body and has certain benefits for disease prevention. However, when soaking feet, pay attention not to make the water temperature too high, and the soaking time should not be too long.
