Homemade Foot Detox Recipe - Foot Detox at Home

I’ve often wondered about those detox foot pads and whether they really pull toxins out of your body. After doing some online research it appears that you can actually remove toxins when using a detox foot bath recipe so why spend money on expensive foot pads? I ran across some all natural remedies and decided to give it a try by using my own homemade foot detox recipe (see below). Love that I can soak my footsies in a foot detox at home.

Salt Foot Detox Recipe

1/4 cup sea salt
1/4 cup epson salt
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar

Sea salt is alkaline and therefore helps to lower the acidity of the body even without the ACV and in the foot detox bath.

Olive Oil
Coconut Oil
Sweet Almond Oil

Jojoba Oil
Kukui Oil
Avocado Oil

Fill a large pot with 1/4 water and bring to a boil, add both salts. As soon as they are dissolved, remove from heat and add cold water until the water feels warm and tolerable for your feet, usually the temp that you would use when you take a bath (do not put your feet in super hot water!) Add the apple cider vinegar and essential oils to the bath. Soak feet for 30 minutes. For an all over foot detox, add to bath water and soak for 45-60 minutes.

Regular practice of sea salt soaks can be beneficial to those suffering from:
