One part that is really affected but often ignored are our feet. They support us all day through our active endeavors. To top it off, shoes these days are not made for comfort, they are made for style. High heels for women and high tops for men, our feet spend majority of their day stuff into an uncomfortable damaging box. Although we may not often relate our stressed out, grumpy moods to how our feet are feeling, often times our attitudes are a direct reflection of our feet. If we don’t pay enough attention to our feet, it could potentially come back to harm us, health issues such as cracked heels, fungal infections, and varicose veins could attack our feet. Hopefully, you never have to suffer from these conditions, but if you do, have hope in the fact that there are natural ways to cure them! Contrary to popular belief you can solve these issues in your home, without expensive medications.
Soak regularly for happy feet
The best thing that you can do for your feet is to soak them in a nice, warm, relaxing foot bath. Not only will it help you to remove the stinky odor, but it will luxuriously relax every part of your feet and legs. After moving and running all day, you will feel as if your feet are encircled by fluffy cloud socks. Your foot soak will not only provide comfort and relief, but it will act as an antiseptic – eliminating and killing bacteria that live on your feet that could provoke other severe problems.
Try soaking your feet in a epsom salt bath with peppermint essential oils. Peppermint has wonderful properties and will loosen up any tense muscles. As soon as you lower your feet into the wonderful bath the peppermint oil will tingle away your stress. The oil also opens up your pores and your sinuses, which will allow you to breathe deeper. Taking deep breaths while soaking is a great way to relieve your stress. Finally peppermint oil is an antiseptic, which means that it will kill bacteria and fungus, making you feel more comfortable in your daily life.
