We’re no strangers to the fact that life can get busy. Sometimes the first thing to remind you to slow down is your feet! Feeling tired, achy, or sore? Give fatigued feet some much-needed pampering with an essential oil-infused foot bath soak! Soak your feet in this luscious blend of Epsom salt and a few drops of essential oils. Add it to warm or hot water as you see fit, and let the worries of your day float away!
1. Pour Epsom salt into a small glass container.
2. Add essential oils and stir to mix all of the ingredients.
3. Pour the mixture into your bathtub or a foot basin. Be sure to add enough warm water to cover your feet.
4. Stir the mixture in the water until the salt dissolves. You can do this with your feet or a spoon.
5. Add AlkaLime and stir until it’s dissolved.
6. Soak your feet for 20-30 minutes. Once finished, pat your feet dry with a towel, put on a pair of socks, and go to bed.

I frequently soak in Epsom salt and then put Aroma Siez and Peace & Calming with coconut lotion on my feet right after and it relaxes me for a great night sleep and softer feet. Those flip flops are hard on the muscles of the feet too!
The Animal Scents ointment is fantastic! My husband and I now use it more on us than on our dog who rarely needs it. It's great for moisturizing both hands and feet!
I like to use lavender and Epsom salts or Thieves.
I love the recipe posts. I can't wait to try this!
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so I have found it life changing to use these oils on my hands and feet to ease the pain and stiffness.
I use 2 pans for my feet, one with warm water and one with cool water.
I put a cup or 2 of Epsom salt in the warm water + Valor-energy balance & Purification-germ killing (about 3-5 drops of each),
Then I put Sacred Mountain in the cool water. It helps me relax even though the water is not warm. If it is flu season I add or replace with Thieves oil (about 3-5 drops of each),
I soak my feet for a few minutes in the warm mixture and then in the cool and go back and forth until both buckets are the same temp. This helps open your pores and gets your blood flowing, moving all the stagnant blood that pools at your feet-great for swollen ankles.
I then dry off my feet (or hands depending what I am soaking) and apply the Deep Relief Roll-on to my tender spots, put on socks (or sometimes gloves) and go to bed.
All night long my feet/hands are buzzing, I know the oils are working and I feel so much better for days.
My favorite foot soak or therapeutic bath when feeling under the weather or on a cleansing program is to mix the following ingredients together
2 cups of baking soda
1 cup Epsom salts
2 tbsp powdered mustard
15 drops Wintergreen
8 drops Eucalyptus
8 drops Rosemary
8 drops Thyme
4 drops Aroma Siez
Mix the ingredients together and store in an airtight jar.
Use 2-3 tbsp in warm water for a foot soak
Use 1-1.5 cup of the mixture to warm bath water for a full body detoxification
The combination of these oils with the mustard are excellent for opening up the bodies pores and relieving congestion, sore muscles, help induce deeper sleep and de-stress the body.
It is important to rinse with cool water after the bath or foot soak. The body will sweat quite a bit after this treatment, so I would advise to not apply any creams or lotions and to drink plenty of water to help rehydrate the body.
Happy detoxing :)
