Foot Bath with Japanese Peppermint Essential Oil

After a long day on your feet, your tired toes deserve a little treat. How does a warm, relaxing foot bath sound? It only takes three simple ingredients—Epsom salts, pink Himalayan salt, and essential oils—to create the perfect foot soak. Because of its high menthol content, Japanese Peppermint oil produces a stimulating, refreshing aroma and provides a cooling and invigorating sensation on the skin, making it ideal for a foot soak. For a bright, citrus twist you can also include Wild Orange essential oil.

Supplies

• 1 cup Epsom salts
• 2 tablespoons of pink Himalayan salt
• 5 drops Japanese Peppermint oil
• 5 drops of Wild Orange essential oil (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add Epsom salts and pink Himalayan salt and mix until combined.
2. Add Japanese Peppermint oil and Wild Orange oil (if desired) to the bowl of salt and mix until combined.
3. Fill a small foot tub with water to your desired temperature.
4. Add in ¼ cup of bath salts and stir them into the water (it might not all dissolve).
5. Soak your feet for 10-20 minutes.
6. Rinse your feet with water and pat dry.
