3. It is OK to soak your feet until you feel hot and slightly sweat. Some people sweat in the lower body but not in the upper body, which indicates that they have cold kidneys. You can drink some ginger sugar water or hot water while soaking your feet. Some people feel hot in the upper body but not in the lower body, which is a manifestation of qi deficiency.
