How to Make A Rejuvenating Foot Bath with Essential Oils

When your feet at tired and aching it’s not enough to put them up, sometimes you need a rejuvenating foot bath. Here’s how you can make your own with essential oils and carrier oils like sweet almond oil, Jojoba soil, Hemp seed oil, olive oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, or sesame oil. There are other carrier oils you can use but this list will help you get started and some of them can be purchased right from your grocery shelf in the oil aisle.

To create a foot bath blend you will need essential oils like sandalwood, lemongrass, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, cinnamon, or cedarwood. Once again, this is just a short list of essentials oils you might want to use. Essential oils should also be purchased in their purest form. Never purchase a synthetic oil that has the fragrance of the original essential oil because it will not have any of the healing properties needed to help you.

Where can you purchase essential oils? One of my favorite places to purchase essential oils online is wholesalesuppliesplus.com. They have a wide variety of essential oils at reasonable prices and you can buy them in small quantities for personal use. If you are making a purchase of essential oil to make products to sell they also have larger quantities with wholesale pricing.
