HEALING
AND RELAXING FOOT SOAKS MADE FROM PLANTS
After a long day of work having a warm foot soak (even just with
water) is a good way to relax. A foot
soak hydrates your skin, relaxes your muscles, can relieve pain, and reduces
swelling, protects from the development of bacteria on your feet.
Here are some natural foot soaks made from plants that are beneficial
for your health:
FOOT SOAK FOR FUNGAL INFECTION AND SMELLY FEET
In 1 liter of hot water put 50 gr. of common sage and boil
it for 2 minutes. Remove it from the heat, close the container and leave it to
sit half an hour.
Remove the sage from the liquid, and then put the liquid in
a foot soak container. Add hot water, 3 teaspoons of baking soda and 3-5
teaspoons of tea tree oil.
Soak your feet for half hour. For better effect of this soak
do it once a day at least for one week.
FOOT SOAK FOR GETTING RID OF TOXINS AND IMPROVING
CIRCULATION
In a large container put 5 liters of hot water, and then put
5 spoons of sea salt, 5 spoons of Epsom salt, 5 spoons of baking powder, 1
spoon of ginger (dry) and 1 spoon of ground chili pepper.
Soak your feet for half hour.
FOOT SOAK FOR BETTER SLEEP AND SOOTHING NERVES
In a large pot boil 3-4 liters of water. While boiling put 5
spoons of dry lavender, 5 spoons dry lemon balm, 5 spoons dry chamomile, 5
spoons dry valerian root. Boil it for 2-3 minutes and remove it from the heat.
Close the pot and
leave it to chill for 5- 10 minutes, depending of the temperature of your
liking for foot soaks. Before you soak your feet add 2-3 spoons Epsom salt (or
sea salt). Soak for half hour.
