DIY Soaking Bath for Pain, Sickness Relief and more – Foot Soak too

Soaks & Baths for pain, relaxing & beyond.

Ahh to soak in a bath just because, that is sometimes my escape to be by myself, other times I get lost in my photography, especially snow photography I get totally lost in taking snow pictures.

Pain, sickness:

If you ever feel like you are getting sick or are just aching from a chronic condition or from recent activity this soak works great, I use it to ward off sickness even with my kids, pre teens & teens. I have used it for fevers to but we don’t make it as hot if anybody is running a fever.

These soaks have amazing therapeutic abilities for many conditions & they can be used in your wellness routine. great for aching legs & restless leg syndrome as well as for healthy normal detoxing process, for stress, sore muscles, help when you have trouble sleeping, for dry skin, rashes, hives etc. And works wonders for relieving soreness caused by physical activity or fibromyalgia pain, Also great to prevent cold & flu or relief of symptoms also great for the immune system.

Detoxing daily foot soak

• 1/2 cup epsom salt
• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 1/4 cup of food grade or drug store hydrogen peroxide 3%
• Optional add, 2 tbsp sea salt &/or 1 tbsp clay powder
• Mix well in the hottest water you can tolerate in a tub for your feet,
• soak feet 15 min to 1/2 hr
• try to do every day.
• After the foot soak rub unrefined coconut oil &/or unrefined wheat germ oil into the feet (or Olive oil)

For whole body just increase the amounts

• 1 cup epsom salt
• 1 to 2 cup baking soda
• 1 cup peroxide 3%
• Optional add 1/2 cup pink salt &/or clay powder &/or bath salt or dead sea salt
• add to hot running water,
• when tub is full to desired level soak 15 min to 1/2 hour
• After soaking dry off & rub unrefined coconut oil &/or unrefined wheat germ oil on skin

try to keep hair out of tub water with the peroxide if you are concerned, but we never have issues & even use peroxide on our dark hair in no poo recipes with no fading or color change.

Options: to add to oils to rub feet or body, for soreness or swelling add rosemary essential oil, for relaxing, headaches etc add lavender essential oil, for cold & flu add peppermint, spearmint or eucalyptus (add 1 to 3 drops essential oil per tbsp of oil). Be careful with mint essential oils, they can burn sensative skin & use less rather than using more.

Simple: To me there is nothing better than mixing epsom salt, baking soda & eucalyptus EO together in a soaking bath. Great for muscle relief, stress relief, respiratory & lung health.
