Detoxifying Foot Bath Recipe
This detox foot bath is the ultimate way to end a long day. It is a perfect natural foot soak to relax and soften tired feet.
Servings: 1 foot bath
Ingredients
- 2.2 oz baking soda ¼ cup
- 2.2 oz sea salt ¼ cup
- 2.2 oz Epsom Salt ¼ cup
- 1 oz apple cider vinegar ⅛ cup
- 0.5 oz carrier oil 1 tbsp
- 10-15 drops essential oils
Instructions
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a medium-size mixing bowl.
- Add in the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Dilute half a cup of the foot bath ingredients in two gallons of warm water. Soak feet for up to 30 minutes.
Notes
- You can alternatively dissolve this foot bath in the bathtub.
- For best results, pat your feet dry and follow up with a homemade whipped body butter or foot mask to hydrate the feet.
- Avoid hot oils such as oregano or clove when choosing the essential oils for your foot bath. My favorite oils to use are lavender, peppermint, and tea tree.
- The salt in this recipe can be naturally drying to the skin, so limit use of it to 1-2 times a week.
- For external use only. Test the water temperature before soaking (warm, not hot), avoid hot oils like oregano or clove, and keep out of reach of children.
