Foot baths are especially helpful in treating tired, aching feet, cases of ingrown toe nails, foot fungus problems such as athlete's foot or ringworm, injuries or sprains. Foot bath blends usually contain 8 to 10 drops of essential oils to 2 gallons of warm water. One cup of Epsom or sea salts can be added as well.
Athlete's Foot Bath
4 drops tea tree
4 drops lavender
2 drops sandalwood
Add oils to 2 gallons warm water and mix well. This combination of pure
essential oils works wonders for people plagued with chronic athlete's foot
problems. Tea tree is anti-fungal, as is lavender. The sandalwood
conditions, softens and soothes sore, cracked feet and toes. Its antiseptic
and soothing properties help keep feet safe from secondary problems that
can arise from the open cracked skin. Patchouli could be substituted for the
sandalwood as a skin regenerator. Patchouli also has fungicidal properties.
