Sea Salt Foot & Body Bath

This wonderful bath can be used as a foot soak or as an all over bath for the body. It takes under a minute to make and is ideal for all types of skin. This soothing bath relaxes, and restores the feet and body to a calm and balanced state.

For the Feet:

• mix 1/4 cup of sea salt to a bowl or pedicure style basin filled with hot water.

10-15 drops of your choice of essential oils can now be added, here are a few suggestions:

• LAVENDER: Lavender is my first choice for the feet, especially if you are suffering from athlete's foot or any other foot condition. Lavender is also a great antiseptic and purifier. It relaxes and has a wonderful aromatic quality. Add 10-15 drops of Lavender Oil.
• LEMON: Lemon has a wonderful cleansing and refreshing aroma, and allows the feet and body to deep cleanse and renew.
• NEROLI: Neroli is a wonderful treatment oil for dry cracked skin. It is very restorative and calming.
• TANGERINE: Tangerine is a fantastic aromatic oil that calms, and soothes the nervous system. It also aids in depression.

For the Body

For the body, this same salt bath can be created at home in your tub by simply tripling the ingredients.

• For an additional body scrub, take a handful of sea salt and rub over the body avoiding eyes and face. Rinse the scrub off in the bath or shower then soak in tub.

For a nonabrasive scrub made with Shea Butter, Essential Oils and Organic Grains, try Kimberly Sayer of London: Almond and Lavender Facial Scrub.
