Auntie Age's Best Foot Soak Ever.

Add the following to a zippy bag.

  • 1.5 cups of Epsom Salts
  • 8 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil
  • 6 drops of Tea Tree Oil
  • a healthy dollop of Vitamin E oil (make sure it's just Vitamin E, many are diluted with Soybean or some other oil)
  • a few drops of dye (I use liquid soap dye)
Close bag tightly. Knead bag until color is consistent throughout mixture. (That's what the dye is for - the oils are very transparent and it's hard to tell if you've mixed well without the dye.)

Yield: 25 amazing foot soaks.

Directions for use:
Add 1 Tablespoon of Foot Soak to a basin of hot water. Soak feet and enjoy.

If you're soaking in the bath tub, I would double the amount of soak, so it's not too dilute to work it's magic.

Info about ingredients:
Epsom Salts: great for a relaxing, skin softening soak. Also good for soaking minor sprains and sore tired feet.

Vitamin E: softening nourishment for your skin.

Peppermint Oil: the scent is great for mental clarity and stress relief. Plus it has a cooling effect when applied to your skin.

Tea Tree Oil: know for it's antiseptic and deodorant properties, the inclusion of this is a must for a foot soak. Also, it's scent blends well with peppermint, softening it and adding an earthy note.
