At the end of the day, there might not be anything better than kicking your shoes off and feeling immediate relief. After being constricted in shoes, you finally get to let your feet free. Want to make that feeling of freedom even better? Start soaking your feet in an apple cider vinegar foot bath. You will truly be amazed by the results.
Soaking your feet is an act of self-care, so don’t be afraid to indulge in relaxation time. When you soak your feet in an apple cider vinegar bath, you can help to exfoliate, clean, and detox toxins from your entire body. Additionally, an apple cider vinegar foot bath helps to neutralize the pH levels in your feet, which is beneficial for those with foot fungus like athlete’s foot.
Why Apple Cider Vinegar?
While you may think that apple cider vinegar is too acidic to help you heal, it actually has a neutralizing effect on the body. Apple cider vinegar has antiseptic, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, all of which benefit skin health. If you have any foot fungus, apple cider vinegar works to soothe the itching, irritation, or burning that is commonly associated with the problem. It also helps to remove dead skin cells that can accumulate on your feet.
Ingredients For Foot Bath
- A large pot or regular foot bath
- Warm water
- ½-1 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Fill a pot, tub, or foot bath two-thirds of the way full with warm water. The water should be comfortably warm, not blistering hot. Pour the apple cider vinegar in the water and mix it well.
- Place your feet in the bath and let them soak for about 30 minutes. Once they are done soaking, rinse them off and pat them dry.
This foot bath is a great way to draw out toxins from the body and improve the health of your feet. You can add some fresh lemon juice to the bath if you want because lemons are beneficial for your skin!
