Relax with a magical foot bath

How long do we wear closed shoes every year and forget to take care of our feet? 

With the arrival of summer, we discover that we haven’t taken care of them for months, but taking care of them requires just a few steps and allows us to have healthy and beautiful feet all year round. You will discover that essential oils are our infallible allies!

Taking care of your feet means taking care of your roots. 

Here are some tips for beautiful and healthy feet with essential oils.

• For swollen, heavy legs, prepare a foot bath with warm water, a cup of salt, a drop of cypress essential oil and a drop of lavender essential oil, or a couple of drops of juniper essential oil and three drops of orange essential oil. Soak your feet for 10-15 minutes. Immediately afterwards, you can lie down and place them on a couple of pillows for an incredible draining effect.
• To promote sleep and relaxation, add four to five drops of lavender essential oil to a warm footbath.
• For a boost of energy, add peppermint, geranium and rosemary essential oils. Just one or two drops in cool water and after a few minutes you will feel rejuvenated and ready for new challenges.

After a day in heels, cool water to energise or warm water to relax, together with two or three drops of lemon and peppermint essential oil. Ten minutes will be enough to feel better!

For pregnant women, however, it is better to avoid essential oils. Alternatively, linen or cotton bags filled with a mixture of beneficial herbs such as chamomile, lavender, mint and ginseng can be used.

One last tip: Relax during your soak!

The footbath can become your moment of peace in which you can slow down the hectic pace of the day. Close your eyes and breathe in the scent of essential oils.

By dedicating a moment of care to your feet, you will feel better… from head to toe.
