For a warm foot bath, water is warmed to 92-100F (33-38C). For a hot foot bath, water is warmed gradually and frequently tested with elbow to 103-108F (39-42C). Be particularly careful to test if you suffer from diabetes or other conditions that impair normal peripheral perception of temperatures.
Soak feet 10-15 minutes. Adding hot water from a kettle or pot with extra hot water as the bath water cools allows maximum benefit and enjoyment.
For additional benefit add 1 cup of epsom salts. The taste associated with the winter/water element is Salty. Epsom Salts (magnesium sulfate) are easily absorbed through the skin. After your soak, wrap your feet in a hand towel to dry.
Ginger alleviates cold and invigorates circulation. Epsom Salts relax muscles, soften the skin & deep cleans.
