the detox Foot Bath


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

the detox foot bath

and my fave tools for doing
your own healthy mani/pedi

 

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
