Problem: Sore, swollen feet

Solution: Soak and massage your feet

Whether from a long day of hiking or a long night of dancing, the best way to treat your poor feet is with a nice foot soak followed by a relaxing massage. Fill a large bowl with warm water and throw in a couple scoops of epsom salts and a few drops of peppermint oil, which is great for stimulating circulation (not to mention a fresh clean scent). Sit back and relax for about 20 minutes. Follow up by giving yourself a massage with your favourite oil or lotion to further increase circulation. But we all have busy lives and sometimes a soak and massage just doesn’t fit into our schedules. Opt instead for a lotion made just for sore and tired feet. Look for moisturizers that contain mint oils as these provide ultimate soothing action to refresh and revitalize your poor soles.
