How to Make A Relaxing Foot Soak

Take time out to prepare yourself or a loved one a relaxing foot soak. The basic ingredients are inexpensive and easy to find. The priciest component is the fragrance: a small bottle of good-quality lavender essential oil can cost around $10, but because you only use a few drops at a time, it can last several years.

Things You'll Need

• 1 cup sea salt
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup Epsom salts
• 1/2 cup dried lavender flowers or few drops lavender essential oil
• Tub or basin that fits both your feet comfortably
