Here is how to make a detox foot soak at home to remove toxic build up from the system and support overall health:
You will need:
10 drops castor oil
2 tablespoons baking soda
2 tablespoons Epsom salt
5-6 liters water
Instructions:
Pour the water in a bowl
Add the castor oil, Epsom salt and baking soda
Mix the ingredients well
Soak the feet for 20-30 minutes
Wipe the feet off when done
How it works?
Castor oil: Castor oil is packed with minerals, vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids, all of which make it great for comforting the feet. In addition, castor oil has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties that help treat athlete`s foot naturally.
Baking soda: Baking soda is ideal for eliminating toxins fast and effectively. Besides eliminating toxic buildup, it kills foot odor and treats sore feet.
When it comes to baking soda, it is worth noting that it shouldn’t be used internally by pregnant and lactating women as well as children younger than 5. Potential side effects of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) include:
Frequent urge to urinate
Frequent headaches
Difficulty breathing
Frequent loss of appetite
Mood changes
Muscle pain and/or twitching
Nervousness or restlessness
Epsom salt: Distilled from mineral-dense water, this salt is widely used as wellness and beauty product. More importantly, it is praised for its healing properties and an ability to treat sore muscles, arthritis, skin disorders, and joint pain. It has been scientifically shown that it possesses strong anti-fungal and antibacterial properties.
Water: Last but not least, no detox routine would be complete without water. When used internally, it hydrates the body and provides a wide range of benefits that improve overall health. When used externally (such as when soaking the feet), it hydrates the skin and opens up the pores.
