ESSENTIAL FOOT-BATHS (+Mini-Baths)


We suffer more stresses in our feet. than almost any other part of our body. They carry all our weight all day and then maybe dance all night! The best treat you can give them is a soothing foot soak. It releases trapped nerves, improves blood circulation, warms and relaxes all the support muscles and soothes aches and pains. Choosing the right aromatherapy oils also make it more pleasurable with the added benefit whilst sitting there is the inhalation of those wonderful aroma molecules. This is a wonderful few moments of stillness to give yourself in an otherwise busy day.
All you need is a basin, hot water, a warm towel, a comfortable seat ( at the right height) and the right essential oils. Add them to the water drop by drop before putting your feet in. Up to 8 drops per 9 litres (2 gallons) of water.


A MINI-BATH
Foot baths and hand baths are extremely handy and helpful for the elderly or persons with a disability that makes taking a full aromatherapy bath impossible or impractical.
