Description
A good foot soak offers some much-needed therapy to tired, achy feet and overall relaxation. Here’s an easy one to make at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1¼ cup Epsom salt
- ¼ cup sea salt
- 1¼ tablespoon baking soda
- 8 drops peppermint essential oil
- 8 drops sweet orange essential oil
- 8 drops tea tree essential oil
- 10 drops olive leaf extract
- foot bath basin
- 1½ gallons of warm water
Instructions
- In a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, add the Epsom salt, sea salt and baking soda and shake vigorously.
- Next, add the essential oils. Shake again.
- Add the olive leaf extract and shake a third time.
- To use, place a ¼ cup of the mixture in warm (not hot) water in a foot basin. Stir, then soak your feet for around 20 minutes. Place a towel or absorbent pad underneath the basin to help keep the area clear of any excess water.
