What Herbs Are Added to Ionic Foot Cleanse?

An ionic foot bath can be as relaxing and stimulating as a good massage or a warm full-body bath. Many places that offer ionic foot baths add herbs to cleanse the feet and stimulate circulation.

  1. Peppermint

    • Peppermint adds an immediate stimulating and cooling sensation to an ionic foot cleanse. Peppermint is known to relax muscles, reduce swelling and increase circulation.

    Lavender

    • Lavender is another herb that is relaxing during a foot cleanse. The lavender is known for calming, balancing and alleviating aching feet.

    Patchouli

    • Like lavender, patchouli not only smells great, but it is also one of the best herbs to use in a foot cleanse for relaxation and balance. Lavender and patchouli are also great for people who have dry, cracked feet.

    Eucalyptus

    • Eucalyptus has long been known for its healing properties. When used regularly, eucalyptus can help treat athlete's foot--as well as unsightly corns and callouses. Eucalyptus is great for relieving tense joints and muscles in the feet as well.

    Sage

    • Dr. Hauscka recommends sage for swollen and burning feet, feet that are cold often and feet tired from being over-exercised. Sage can be added to an ionic foot cleanse to help disinfect the skin and prevent excessive foot sweating.

    Rosemary

    • Rosemary is another herb, like sage, that can curb excessive foot perspiration. Rosemary is also a very good natural remedy to improve circulation in feet that are always cold.
