Do your feet ever get tired, achy, and hot? Lately, that's what I've
been dealing with. I decided to do some research on a good foot soak
recipe. I found a great recipe for a
Peppermint Foot Soak.
It just so happens that I have Peppermint growing in my garden! I also have a Dr. Scholl's Foot Spa, like the one pictured below.
Peppermint Foot Soak Recipe
4 teaspoons dried peppermint leaves
2 cups Epsom salt
Add 1 teaspoon of mixture to warm water.
I picked about two handfuls of peppermint leaves, washed, and wiped off the excess water. I then dried them in the oven on the lowest setting for about 30 minutes. When cooled, I removed the leaves from the stem and powdered them with a wheat grinder. You could probably do this by hand or with a blender or food processor. You can also use Peppermint Tea Bags. Each bag is 2 teaspoons of dried peppermint leaves.
