The Many Possible Uses of Arm Baths & Foot Baths
Arm and foot baths are often used as part of the simplified full body wash. Such bathtubs have been specially developed in terms of their shape and size for this use and are specially adapted to the arms or feet.
For example: if hands and forearms are dirty after work, they can be conveniently placed and cleaned in the elongated bowls.
The skin can be soaked with a warm arm bath and then thoroughly cleaned with washcloths, bath brushes or bath sponges. The same goes for footbaths that are high enough to comfortably bathe your feet and lower legs in warm water. In addition, pre-soaking in warm water is often practiced before a pedicure or manicure.
Afterwards, the respective body parts should be dried quickly and thoroughly with a towel. This is particularly important in order to avoid a damp environment and thus the development of a breeding ground for microorganisms.
In summer or after strenuous activities such as sport, a footbath can cool the stressed soles of the feet. During the cold season, a hot arm or foot bath brings pleasant warmth to the body.
Partial baths are also often used for medicinal purposes. For centuries, bathing the feet and lower legs or hands and arms has been a tried and tested home remedy with a wide range of uses. A cold, warm or alternating bath can alleviate the following problems, among others:
- circulatory disorders
- sensation of cold
- increased sweat production
- strains
- weak immune system
- colds
- urinary tract infections and irritable bladder
- restlessness and trouble sleeping
What to Consider When Taking an Arm or Foot Bath
The water temperature is a decisive factor and primarily responsible for the effect of your partial bath. You can use a thermometer to measure the water temperature. In order to find a comfortable temperature for general body washing, the temperature test can also be carried out with your own hand. Before using it for medical purposes, find out from knowledgeable specialists such as your general practitioner, pharmacist or nurse what type of partial bath can help against your symptoms or clinical pictures.
Bath additives are not necessary for a foot or arm bath, but can be used in addition, for example to enable a pleasant fragrance experience. Bath salts and essential oils are primarily used to provide additional relaxation for body and mind during cleansing.
