They are normally prepared with warm water in a bowl large enough for the feet or hands, with a little space free to allow for the water to rise when they are immersed.
After preparing the bath, mix five drops of your chosen essential oil with one dessertspoon of apple cider vinegar and add it to the bath. We find the apple cider vinegar a great way to help disperse the oil, and it also has its own therapeutic properties.
Should you prefer not to use the apple cider vinegar, you could mix the essential oil with some powered milk, and forming it into a paste before mixing with the water, as it also helps to disperse the oil.
However, the apple cider vinegar nor the powered milk is required, and the essential oil can be used directly into the bath.
If you want to add an extra relaxing dimension to your footbath, you can place marbles or small pebbles at the bottom of the bath to run your feet over.
Electric footbaths are also great, since they have a massaging action that agitates the water and helps to aerate it, while zinging up circulation.
Should you be performing a footbath on your own, and you are still lithe enough, you could rest one foot on the other knee and do a gentle massage on each sole, while busy with the footbath.
You can also add this to add scent to different creams you'd make homemade and you could also use it along with the coconut oil I blogged about in my previous blog.
No matter how you use it I can assure you that you won't be let down with this oil cause it is potent and will be amazing mood boosters for your day just simply by the scent of it.Best way to enjoy a spa day at home or just simply giving your house a welcoming scent.
I got my essential oil in exchange for an honest and unbiased review and I stand behind this product 100 percent.If you want to get a bottle or two of your own you can find it here
