Weight Loss & Foot Soaks

 

Weight gain is a common occurrence as individuals age, alter lifestyles & develop certain health conditions. It is often attributed to a decrease in metabolism & the consumption of more calories than the body can burn, resulting in an increase in body fat. In some cases, weight gain has been linked to various debilitating diseases.

​

Here are a few reasons why someone might consider using a Traditional Foot Soak to aid in weight loss:

​

  • Improved energy flow: According to TCM, when the body's vital energy, known as Qi, flows smoothly, overall health & well-being are enhanced. It is believed that certain reflexology points on the feet, when stimulated through a foot soak, can help restore and balance the flow of Qi throughout the body & may contribute to improved metabolic function, which can indirectly support weight management.

​

  • Stress reduction: Stress can be a significant factor contributing to weight gain or difficulty in losing weight. Traditional foot soaks are often accompanied by a sense of relaxation & reduced stress levels. The warm water, soothing herbs, & the act of taking time for self-care can help alleviate stress &  promote a sense of well-being. By managing stress, individuals may find it easier to make healthier choices & maintain a balanced approach to weight management.

​

  • Detoxification: Some herbs used in Traditional Foot Soaks are believed to possess detoxifying properties. These herbs may assist in eliminating toxins from the body through the pores of the feet during the foot soak. By supporting the body's natural detoxification processes, it is thought that the foot soak may contribute to overall health & potentially aid in weight management.

​

  • Circulation enhancement: The warm water and herbal infusion in a TCM foot soak can help improve blood circulation in the feet & lower extremities. Enhanced circulation may assist in reducing fluid retention & minimizing swelling in the legs & ankles. While this may not directly lead to fat loss, it can contribute to a temporary reduction in weight due to decreased water retention.

​

It's important to note that a Traditional Foot Soak should not be viewed as a standalone solution for weight loss. It is best approached as a complementary practice that can be used alongside a balanced diet, regular exercise & other healthy lifestyle choices.

​

Each 1 oz. packet of Weight Shed by Traditional Foot Soaks is sufficient for 2 treatments and contains 7 Chinese medicinal herbs.
