Feet Retreat… For My Sole OUR FEETOur feet are one of the most neglected areas of our body. We take them for granted. Our feet hold us up, balance our bodies and get us to where we want to go. We stuff our feet into uncomfortable shoes which result with corns or bunions and can be painful. Only when our feet are in pain do we realize how much our feet do for us. Our feet are the foundation of our body and the foundation to our health.
FOOTBATHS
FOOTBATHS
Footbaths refresh, revive and invigorate not only our feet but our entire body.
When your nerves are frayed and your energy is low, a footbath will boost your energy, soothe your spirit and soften your feet. Footbaths work great for sore, swollen and aching feet especially after hiking, walking or bike riding. Footbaths work well for heat headaches. It pulls the hot energy out of your head down and out through your feet. Try 4 drops lavender and 2 drops peppermint essential oil.
Take a foot bath even while you are watching TV. The best way is to read a magazine or a book, have a cup of tea, a glass of water or just look out the window to nature and daydream. Keep a pad and pen by you for inspirational ideas.
When your feet are in water you won’t get up to do the many things on your to do list but instead relax and just be. When we do good things for ourselves the list gets done quicker and easier.

Place a towel under the basin and one to the side to dry your feet. Foot baths are great to do outside on a warm day.
