Foot Soak - Lime and sea salt

Foot Soak - Lime and Sea Salt
-----------------------------------------


* ½ cup sea salt
* 3 slices of lime
* 5 to 10 mint leaves
* 5 drops of essential lime oil
* Combine all these and add to a basin filled with warm water

Benefit of Lime - After a long day on your feet, soak your feet in very warm water containing lime/lemon juice to enjoy the cooling, astringent feeling. This will also help promote deep sleep due to the relaxing action on the foot nerves.

Detox Foot Soak

Homemade Detox Foot Soak
---------------------------------------
The hot water and salts combination works to leach toxins from your system and draw them to the reflexology channels and out of the feet.

For maximum benefits, take a foot detox bath every night for a week, then twice a week for 30 days. After 30 days, once a week is recommended for maintenance.

Ingredients
---------------
* 1 cup of sea salt
* 1 cup of epsom salt
* 2 cups of baking soda

Instruction
---------------
Mix all the ingredients together and store this mixture in an airtight container.

How to use it
------------------
Fill a foot basin with warm water. Add 1/4 cup of the detox mixture. Find a relaxing place to sit and soak your feet for 30 minutes. As soon as the feet are removed from the bath, brush the feet with a dry tower and rinse with warm water.

To soften the feet, if needed
--------------------------------------
If you feel the need to soften your feet, rub with 100% aloe vera. This is also a good time to do a relaxing foot massage.

Caution
----------
Do not use lotions with additives as your feet quickly absorb what is on them.
