Herbal Treats and Pain Relief for Tired Feet


Our feet are one of our most valued body parts they have always faithfully supported our weight and taken years of torment and abuse.

Our feet are a huge indicator of health problems elsewhere in the body and our feet have an enormous influence over our overall health. Foot problems that are left unaddressed can lead to such things as lower and upper back pain, poor posture, and even headaches, never mind the foot pain that usually comes first. Feet are one of the most sensitive parts of the body containing over 70,000 nerve endings, that is why foot massages feel so nice and reflexology is such a hugely popular spa and therapeutic massage service.

Some of our greatest foot treatments can come from Mother Nature herself. There are some very effective herbal treatments for foot pain relief and other foot problems.

To soak and cleanse the feet in general an herbal treatment of lavender, oats and a variety of essential oils can be used depending on the mood you are in, for an invigorating feeling use peppermint or eucalyptus, for a relaxing foot bath use essential oils of chamomile and lavender.

If there is a bacterial infection or foot problem, such as a nail fungus, a good blend of essential oils would be tea tree and rosemary, tea tree is one of the strongest anti bacterial, anti viral, and anti fungal essential oils there is, try this in your foot bath for conditions like toe nail fungus or athletes foot.

Al ways remember to wear good, supportive, quality footwear, this can also mean less wear and tear on the feet, and anything we can do to take care of our feet is a good thing because if we take care of our feet they will take care of us.
