Swift Bliss Foot Soak

By Melissa Breyer, Producer, Care2 Green Living. (http://www.care2.com/greenliving/)

Imagine this: relaxation, revitalization and refreshment–not to mention good health and pretty feet–all in a few minutes. With our quick tips for easy foot soaks you can reap the rewards of a full spa treatment without leaving the house. For an infusion of bliss, try one: these special soaks will leave you walking on air.

The secret ingredient for our fabulous foot soaks is the ever-humble Epsom salt. It is a powerhouse of magnesium and sulfates, which both boast remarkable resumes of health-boosting functions—-and both are best absorbed through soaking. A plain soak in Epsom salts and warm water is wonderful enough, but try these inclusions to add some pizzazz to your step. Bonus: for a massage with your soak, add some smooth river rocks (or marbles) to the bottom of your soaking tub—-rubbing your toes and soles over warm rocks is sure to induce “mmmmmmm”s.

Basic Foot Soak

Soothe aches, remove odors, and soften rough skin with this basic foot soak. Add 1/2 cup of Epsom Salts to a large pan of warm water. Soak feet for as long as it feels right. Rinse and dry.

Fun Additions to Your Soak
