The Remedy:

A deep cleansing, anti-inflammatory, and mineral-rich soak from your feet.
2 tablespoons - enough for 4 soaks
1 tablespoon - enough for 8 soaks

How These Herbs Work in a Foot Soak

• Parsley – draws out impurities, freshens, and deodorizes.
• Cleavers – lymphatic mover, helps reduce swelling and fluid retention (through skin absorption + reflex zones in feet).
• Arnica – excellent for external use; reduces soreness, inflammation, and aches in muscles/joints.
• Horsetail – rich in silica, strengthens skin and nails, good for tired or cracked feet.
• Dandelion Leaf – mineral-rich, gently detoxifying, eases puffiness.
• Holy Basil (Tulsi) – calming, stress-relieving, antifungal, and antibacterial.

Method:

1. Boil 4–5 cups of water.
2. Add 2 TS herbs and simmer 10–15 minutes.
3. Strain into a basin, add 4–25 more cups of warm water (enough to soak feet).
4. Optional: add 1/2 cup Epsom salt or Himalayan salt for extra detox.
5. Soak feet for 20–30 minutes.

Benefits of the Soak

• Relieves swelling, heaviness, and inflammation.
• Promotes lymphatic drainage through reflex points in the feet.
• Helps with sore muscles, joint aches, bruising, or tired feet.
• Provides a calming, grounding effect for stress release.
