Brief Summary:
A study to explore whether different dosages of mustard flour in footbaths cause different effects on warmth development as well as on general well-being and the autonomic nervous system.
Detailed Description:
This is a blinded, four-arm randomized controlled trial with crossover design to explore the dose-response relationship of footbaths with different dosages of mustard flour in healthy volunteers, compared to a placebo control (footbath with warm water only). The main focus is on thermogenesis and warmth distribution, as assessed by high-resolution infrared thermography and questionnaire data before, during and after the intervention. In addition, effects on the autonomic nervous system are assessed by measuring various parameters of heart rate variability and pulse wave analysis.
