DIY Stress Relief Foot Soak in reflexology

This contribution to our list of homemade foot soak ideas uses Epsom salt to feed your feet with magnesium. The salt also has the blessings of anti-inflammation, preventing or alleviating migraine headaches, skin softening and removing toxins. This alone makes it a great DIY foot soak detox. You get exfoliation via the baking soda.

Sea salt: Your mix should include organic or natural sea salt, so that you do not lose the minerals that are often stripped during processing.

Epsom salt: Find Epsom salt that can dissolve fairly readily in the hot water in your bowl.

Baking soda: The baking soda is also part of the mix of this homemade foot soak. This can eliminate the odors that reside in your feet, especially when your feet sweat and become dirty due to shoes and socks.

Peppermint essential oils: You can choose a number of essential oils for this recipe, depending upon what you need for your feet. Peppermint refreshes, cools down, and can suppress inflammation.
