This lemon foot bath can help detoxify your entire body

January 31, 2019

At the end of the day, millions of people feel too tired, uncomfortable and in a bad mood simply because they have been standing most of the day, or have walked in uncomfortable shoes or high heels.

Unfortunately, we rarely pay attention to our feet, even if they support the heavy load of our body throughout the day and support all our movements. As a result, problems such as varicose veins, cracked heels and fungal infections are quite common, but fortunately there are natural ways to treat them.

There is nothing better than a nice, warm and soothing foot bath after a long day of work, but this practice will also contribute to your overall health. Namely, footbaths destroy fungi and bacteria and are a great way to detoxify the whole body.

If you add salts to the footbath, you will optimize your iodine levels, relieve pain and relax the whole body.

Here's how to prepare a simple foot bath:

ingredients:

• Peppermint essential oil
• Epsom salt
• Mint flavored tea
• Olive oil
• Lemon juice
• A bowl of hot water

Instructions:

Add all the ingredients in the bowl with warm water and soak your feet for 15 minutes. Then rinse with water and rub your feet with a pumice stone to remove dead skin cells.

In this way, you will relieve stress because Epsom salt is a rich source of magnesium and will eliminate all the toxins accumulated in the body, thus improving your overall health.

In addition, the footbaths stimulate the reflexology points on the feet, soothe the many nerves, and thus soothe the mind and create a feeling of well-being and relaxation.

In addition to peppermint essential oil, you may also decide to use other essential oils for your footbaths. CanyonRanch lists some of the most popular choices for your foot healer treatment:

- Cedar oil is an antiseptic and antifungal, making it a good choice if you suffer from athlete's foot.

- Cypress oil is an antiseptic and natural deodorant. Add a few drops to your bath if you have a light bulb or if you are worried about the smell of feet.

- Juniper berry oil relieves muscle aches, including those caused by arthritis.

- Lavender oil, as you may know, is a favorite for relaxation. It is also a natural pain reliever, optimal for joints and sore muscles.

- Rosemary oil helps soothe tired muscles and has antiseptic properties.

- Wintergreen oil is considered the aspirin of nature. It helps relieve pain and swelling and provides a particularly pleasant cooling sensation on tired feet.
