This key centre of your nervous system is also what supports your body and its whole weight on the ground, taking in any weight changes among other things, which is why they\u2019re so important to take care of. It\u2019s easy to understand why the foot bath ritual holds such an important place in many cultures and traditions, with the aim of relaxing and easing any pain.<br \/>\nSince ancient times, cleaning feet is a ritual around the world for hygienic reasons of course but also therapeutic and relaxing purposes. Asia, North Africa and India have been promoting it for centuries while Eastern cultures have introduced it later on.<br \/>\nIn the spa world, you will find foot bath rituals offered along specific rituals such as the Japanese Bath or Ayurvedic rituals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Why not introduce such a ritual in your health and body routine at home? It will help you relax after a long day at work for example. Here are our tips and suggestions to help you make the most of your foot bath ritual : <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"> Prefer cold water at 15\u00b0C for pain relief related to blood circulation for example. Enjoy your bath for 3 minutes then rinse with lukewarm water, it will promote healthy blood circulation. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Prefer warm to hot water -between 37\u00b0C and 42 \u00b0C- for relaxation after a hard day at work or a prolonged physical activity; it will promote a good muscle relaxation and toxin elimination. At the end, rinse with lukewarm or slightly cold water to promote good blood circulation and full relaxation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">If you wish, you can add a few drops of a chosen essential oil in your foot bath. Lavender, Tiare flower or ylang-ylang are great for a cocooning effect while peppermint, eucalyptus or lemon will have an energising effect.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">If you feel your feet need it, use a pumice stone or a foot scrub to soften and help get rid of corn and calluses.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The oshibori (a hot wet towel) can be used at the end of your ritual. It is often used in spas and is found to have great relaxing and comforting effects.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Last but not least, you can apply a moisturiser treatment, massaging the most painful areas for an ultimate tension relief.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Our recommended ethical and natural products <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">For your foot bath basin (or bucket), check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?biw=1471&amp;bih=734&amp;tbm=shop&amp;ei=n8l9WumdL8TtzgKU-pTIBw&amp;q=bucket+foot+wooden&amp;oq=bucket+foot+wooden&amp;gs_l=psy-ab.3...131348.132968.0.133556.8.8.0.0.0.0.109.709.6j2.8.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.x0pRbH2rFOE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">these suggestions <\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">For your essential oils, we highly recommend DoTerra, a fabulous brand we recently discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doterra.com\/US\/en\/pl\/single-oils\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Do Terra <\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Other feet care products;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">:<br \/>\n&#8211; Scrubs from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicals.co.uk\/natural-foot-scrub\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Botaniclas <\/a>or great DIY options here with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearethought.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/26\/salt-sugar-organic-foot-scrub-recipes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">We Are Thought<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; Pumice stones from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beautybyearth.com\/product\/exfoliating-lava-pumice-stone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beauty By Earth<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; Moisturising balms from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicals.co.uk\/foot-balm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Botanicals <\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Are you looking forward to trying it at home now?
