Frequently asked questions
How does it work?
泡脚 — the evening foot soak — is one of the oldest warming rituals there is. Hot water does most of the work; the herbs make it something you look forward to. Old ginger, mugwort, motherwort, rose, angelica, cassia twig and astragalus root steep into deep amber and fill the room with warm herbal steam.
How often should I use it?
Most women soak four to five nights a week, in the hour before bed. One pack is 28 sachets — roughly a full cycle.
How hot should the water be?
Steep the sachet in very hot water (90–100°C) for five minutes, then top up with cool water to 40–45°C before your feet go in. Always test with your wrist.
Who shouldn't use it?
Don't use it during pregnancy or heavy menstrual flow without medical advice. Avoid entirely if you have diabetes-related neuropathy, reduced sensation in your feet, open wounds or a foot infection - if you can't reliably feel water temperature, hot soaks are a burn risk. Check with your doctor first if you have high blood pressure, a heart condition or circulatory problems.
Can I use it in the bath?
Yes - two sachets in a warm tub, 20-30 minutes.
