Ingredients
- Aluminum foil (enough to wrap each foot)
- Thin cloth or cotton socks
- Essential oils (optional, like lavender or eucalyptus)
Instructions
- Prepare the Feet: Clean and dry your feet well. If you’d like, apply a few drops of an essential oil for a soothing effect.
- Wrap the Foil: Take a strip of aluminum foil long enough to cover your foot from toes to heel, with a little extra to fold over. Wrap each foot snugly but not too tight. Ensure the shiny side of the foil is touching your skin.
- Secure with Cloth: Use a thin cloth or cotton sock to hold the foil in place. This helps prevent slipping and keeps the foil from tearing.
- Rest and Relax: Sit or lie down comfortably with your feet up, and let the wrap do its work for about 1 hour.
- Remove and Rinse: After an hour, remove the foil and rinse your feet with warm water if you applied oils.
Notes
- This practice is often said to ease tired feet and may help retain heat, making it ideal for cold or tense muscles.
- Only use clean, fresh foil, and discard it after one use.
