Aren’t you tempted to put your sweaty feet into cold icy water during hot sunny day with temperature reaches 95ºF/35ºC?
Wait a minute… . Of course you sweat all over, especially the most perspiring parts of the body—your feet. Nonetheless, since your feet have more sweat glands per inch of skin than any other part of the body (with more than 250,000 sweat glands each), all the sweat pores will close abruptly as the feet are suddenly put into cold icy water. And when it happens repeatedly, your sweating function will be disturbed and impaired.
Therefore, as advised by Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners, you should resist the temptation to soak your feet into cold icy water even when the thermometer hits 100ºF/38ºC!
