Mugwort and Ginger Foot-Soak Water

Why people make this foot soak

As we get older, sluggish circulation and cold hands and feet are common, especially at night when the feet stay icy even under a quilt, which spoils sleep. For people who feel chilly with cold limbs, Nourilo suggests soaking the feet in mugwort-and-ginger water once or twice a week, while sipping a cup of brown-sugar ginger tea, to help dispel cold and damp and relax the body and mind. Mugwort is traditionally regarded as warming the channels and supporting circulation, and the ginger reinforces its warming quality.
