Aromatherapy Recipes: Foot Care

Your feet are the most abused part of your body. Especially for people who spend a good deal of their time at work on their feet, in jobs like waitressing or as a cashier, feet can become extremely sore and worn out. These recipes, coupled with massage of the foot, will restore your tired dogs to their fromer glory. As a general rule, do not to exceed ten drops of total essential oils per ointment, and try to keep it around five for maximum effectiveness. Please read all the warnings at the bottom before using.

Aching Feet Massage: 2 d. chamomile oil * 2 d. eucalyptus oil: in 20 ml. of carrier oil. Use sweeping strokes and gentle circular pressing motion for optimal results.

Corn and Verucca Foot Massage: 2 d. lemon oil * 3 d. tea tree oil: in 20 ml of carrier oil. Use over a period of time, rather than for one night only.

Soothing Foot Massage: 4 d. lavender oil * 3 d. rosemary oil: in 20 ml. of carrier oil. Relaxes feet and refreshes fatigue.
