You will need:
A comfortable chair
A plastic basin
Epsom salts
Hot water (comfortable, not scalding)
A book (optional)
Tip #1 - Always use Epsom salts
Epsom salts contain magnesium. Magnesium eases pain and muscle cramps, and improves nerve and muscle function.
Fill the bath with enough water to cover your feet and add 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of Epsom salts.
Tip #2 - Get creative
If you know lavender helps you relax, add a few drops of essential oil to benefit from aromatherapy. If you have a fungal infection or are prone to odorous feet, try a few drops of tea tree or eucalyptus oil. But take care: Just a few drops of high-quality essential oil goes a long way. Too much can irritate.
"Studies supporting lavender oil as a sleeping aid are solid, even though they’re few in number" - Dr. Charlene Gamaldo, medical director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Sleep and Wellness
Tip #3 - Foot spa for better health: before bed
A foot bath can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality.
Tip #4 - Make the time
You only need 20 to 30 minutes to feel the difference. Do it a few times per week or make it part of your bedtime routine.
Whether you have problems sleeping or not, foot baths benefit everyone.
Make time in the evening for a foot spa for better health. Foot baths:
Aids stress relief
Promotes relaxation to improve sleep quality
Enhances immunity
Aids weight loss
Improves circulation and metabolism
