Foot soak
Fill up a large bowl or basin with comfortably warm water. Add what you wish to your water. A little goes a long way. You can use fresh or dried flowers & herbs &/or essential oils. Just a splash or a sprinkle. We tend to also find these ingredients in tea bags at our local markets. They work wonderfully with less mess.
Soak feet, ankles & if needed calves for approximately 20 minutes. Enjoy
You can also make yourself foot spray to enjoy these delightful wellness benefits.
Peppermint foot spray
Fill up a small glass spray bottle with approximately 3/4 of distilled water. Add 1-2 tablespoons of witch hazel & 5 drops of peppermint oil (we prefer Doterra). Shake well & keep chilled. Spray on tired feet before bed.
Remember to love & water your roots!
