5 Homemade Foot Soak Recipes
Recipe Directions:
Unless otherwise noted, mix together all ingredients thoroughly then
store in an airtight container.
Use 2 to 3 tablespoons per gallon of water used in soak.
Water temperature is at personal preference, but I find the hottest
water my feet will comfortably tolerate gives the most relief and
comfort.
