Foot bath therapy is one of the supporting therapies in our hospital and we give more priority to foot bath therapy as it has about 3000 years of history in medical field. For most end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, they can get a lot from foot bath therapy.

When the feet are in hot water, the blood which is congesting distant parts of the body is brought to the dilated vessels in the feet and legs. Hot foot bath can increase blood flow through the feet and entire skin surface, relieving congestion in internal organs and brain. As for ESRD patients, they can get the following specific health benefits from foot bath therapy:
