Epsom salts footbaths may be helpful for bruises, sprains in the early stages of soreness after exercise, after a massage, chronically cold feet, edema of pregnancy, or arthritis pain.
What you will need: A Water Thermometer, a chair, a plastic tub, 2 cups of Epsom salts for an adult, (1 cup for a child) 1 bath towel, and a bath mat.
Procedure: Place a bath mat on the floor in front of the chair.
Fill the tub with warm (not hot) water, about 98 - 102. Pour the Epsom salts directly under the spigot as soon as you begin filling the tub, to make sure they dissolve completely. If essential oils are wanted use them after you have filled the tub.
Keep your feet in the water for 15- 20 minutes.
At the end of your foot-bath, rinse and dry your feet.
Apply a moisturizing lotion to your feel and then put your socks on.
This is the perfect time to treat your feet with all the aftermath hustle of the Holiday shopping, and family time.
