After a working day, I want to relax my feet, massage them, relieve burning sensation, a feeling of heaviness. In summer, this adds to the need to constantly do pedicures, monitor the softness of the skin. An electric massage bath – a useful and inexpensive device, will help to fulfill all these tasks at home..

How to choose a foot bath

The device looks like a plastic round or rectangular container with thick walls and a relief (many small pimples) bottom. Under it is a thermostat that heats water or maintains temperature. The volume of the bath – like a small basin: 3-4 liters. The tank is filled with water, the device is turned on, the operating mode is selected, the feet are immersed there.

After the procedure, the device is dried upside down.

Massage takes place due to vibration and bubbles coming out of special openings, which benefits the whole body:

• relieves stress from the feet, calms the nervous system;
• softens the skin, makes it smooth;
• prevents the development of problems with the joints of the legs;
• relieves edema due to lymphatic drainage, relieves muscle cramps.

For additional functions, the bathtubs are divided into 4 types:

• Contrast. By changing the temperature of the water from cold to warm and vice versa, a tonic effect is achieved.
• Cleansers. These devices come with pedicure equipment – brushes, pumice stones, special rollers to remove dirt and dead skin cells.
• Medical. In addition to standard massage nozzles, these bathtubs have built-in magnets, infrared radiation, an ozonizer (for disinfecting water), an ionizer for removing toxins.
• Tonic. Aromatherapy is done with such a device, adding essential oils, salt.

Key selection criteria:

• Power. The higher it is, the stronger the effect of the procedure will be. Recommended values ​​- 70–150 W.
• Operating modes. The device can massage with rollers (vibro) or air bubbles (hydro). Some models combine these modes..
• Temperature regulator. The water is poured already warm, but so that it does not cool down in the process, the device must heat it.
• Dry massage. Some baths are used without water – they relax the feet by vibration of the bottom.
• Cord length. Such devices work from the network, so decide in advance how far from the outlet you can position the device.

Trays with IR emitter

Even budget models have such a function, but the most effective are those in which the working element is built into the bottom, and not into the central partition. Infrared light improves local blood flow in the feet, which positively affects the whole body.
