Salts for foot bath: the remedy to give relief to tired legs and feet

What are foot bath salts for, and what substances give relief to tired legs and swollen feet?

What could be better than a nice relaxing foot bath, especially when in the evening you find yourself with swollen feet and tired legs after a day spent standing up to work? Or maybe the fatigue in the legs is due to excessive physical exertion, or even a pathology? Whatever the origin of the disorder, a foot bath for swollen feet is an easy and inexpensive remedy to reduce swelling, defaticate the legs and reactivate circulation, especially when combined with cold water sponges. In any case, the foot bath is a small gift for our feet, to repay them for the hardships of the day, to apologize for forcing them into tight and heavy shoes. Dedicate ourselves for a moment to them, let them breathe and pamper you with some natural remedy. Moreover, this practice has been widespread and appreciated since ancient times.

But what is a foot bath? Very simple: is to dip your feet in a basin of warm or warm water and leave them to soak. Depending on the benefit we want to get we can then add salt, bicarbonate, vinegar, essential oils, or special products, such as foot bath salt. The feet should be left immersed in water for at least 15-20 minutes to get a good result.

By placing stones or balls on the bottom of the bowl you can add to the foot bath the effect of reactivating the circulation. Alternating hot and cold water baths is also an excellent way to reactivate circulation and reduce swelling of the feet: immerse your feet for ten minutes in a basin full of hot water, then pass them for a minute under cold running water, then back into the bowl and vice versa, 3 times.

Let’s see how to deflate the feet and what can be all the recipes for an effective foot bath for swollen and tired feet.

What to use to make a foot bath

Water obviously comes first. It is important that it is not too hot, because it could dry the skin and promote the onset of frostbite. Adding a little milk to the foot bath water we will get softer and more hydrated feet, while a glass of white vinegar or the juice of two lemons will fight sweat and bad smell.

White vinegar also relieves tired feet, reduces heel cracks, and also combats fungus and infections. Coarse salt and baking soda help to deflate and cool feet, ankles and legs.

Lavender or chamomile essential oil or even dried flowers will have a beneficial effect on mood, as well as dissolve tensions and deflate the feet.
