Description
Soaking feet in warm water is a combined therapy method of thermotherapy and hydrotherapy which

research is a quantitative research method Narrative Reviews . Research design of the 9 journals used are design
Randomised controlled Trials (RCTs) . The sampling technique and the number of samples used various variety.
Results: From 9 studies, the average p-value was <0.05. p-value of diastolic blood pressure is 0.00 and p-value of
systolic blood pressure is 0.00. Warm water therapy can be included in the complementary therapy group of care
for people with hypertension. However, the temperature and duration of soaking feet in warm water must be considered to avoid hypotension or low blood pressure.
