Whether you want to just add more peace + pretty toes to your life, or you want to reap the cleansing benefits of the soda, salt + oils in this self care treatment, you are going to love this!

This is a great ritual to help detox your body if you don’t have a bathtub.
And if you own a salon or spa - this would be a beautiful way to honour the health of your clients by not exposing them to harmful chemicals while giving them mani/pedis.

* note - this is not advised if you have open wounds on your foot

This protocol is one of the rituals in my Ready Set GLOW detox, where we also incorporate daily tongue scraping, dry skin brushing + major cell nourishment through the intake of juices, smoothies, salads + power meals

Preparing the foot bath:

To a large bowl/basin, add:

✔️ 1/2c plain epsom salts: transdermally delivers sulfur and magnesium (majority of people are deficient) and both of these minerals support your body's detoxification

✔️ 1/2c baking soda: alkalizes, absorbs heavy metals, exfoliates + soothes skin - creates silky water!

✔️ 2 drops doTERRA Peppermint (highest in the constituent menthol) for cleansing + boosting circulation

✔️ 5 drops doTERRA Zendocrine Blend - read how it supports detoxification here

Method:

✔️ Scrape dead skin from heels + dry skin brush bottoms and top of feet

✔️ Mix ingredients into large bowl/basin and then add warm/hot water

✔️ Soak feet for 20 min while you listen to calming music or a meditation or the calm app

✔️ Dry off

✔️Apply any details like cuticle push back, clipping, filing etc

✔️ Apply Correct X to the heels + cuticles (this natural healing ointment is incredible)

✔️Finish with doTERRA natural body butter and put in cozy socks - preferably pink ones that go up to your knees
