The benefits of the foot bath

A foot bath is one of the best ways to relax.

Give time and love to your feet which are pillars, the limbs that connect you directly to Mother Earth. Honor your feet during a ritual dedicated to them.

Why take a foot bath?

Foot baths increase overall body temperature, which can ease muscle and mental tension and relieve stress.

Hot water baths for the feet have the power to relieve pain in other parts of the body besides the feet. They may have the ability to help headaches.

Soaking and cleaning your feet in warm water reduces inflammation and stimulates circulation, bringing congested blood to dilated vessels in the feet and legs.

Foot baths were designed to help fight depression, as they can decrease and/or completely eliminate tension, anger, confusion, hostility and anxiety. 

If you've ever had a pedicure, you know that an essential step is to soak your feet in warm water. This helps reduce the presence and appearance of typical foot problems like calluses, corns and dry skin.
