Most people do not know the health reasons as to why they should soak their feet. It is a holistic health remedy that dates back hundreds of years. Back in the old days, it would be a a common practice to come home and soak your feet. Proper practice is to not only soak your feet, but also your calves.
Ancient Chinese & Japanese practice both believed in the importance of daily foot soaks and how feet are the foundation or root to our health. Daily foot soaks aid in blood circulation & health maintenance. Practices such as reflexology stemmed from this belief, which is a system of massage used to relieve tension and treat illness.
Combining the logic that our feet are our roots and our bodies are the trunk and our head represent the branches and leaves. In order, to alleviate ailments, we should address our feet or our roots. The soles of your feet contain more sweat glands and sensory nerve endings per square centimeter than any other part of the body.
The right foot soak can detoxify, soften, exfoliate, relax and alleviate pain. The secret is the right ingredients in the right combination. Be sure to keep in mind that toxins released are processed by your liver and released through bile & urine. They do not ooze out of your feet.
Key ingredients are Magnesium like Epsom salt, Dead Sea salt, Himalayan salt are good as well because they have trace minerals. Trace minerals are essential minerals our bodies need, but in small amounts. We recommend you soak your feet for a minimum of 15 minutes in order to reap optimum benefits.

What I really appreciate about this post is how it is both educational and instructional. Most of us really had no idea how important foot care is for our overall health. Usually our feet get the least care but take the majority of the abuse and usage.
Thank you for explaining the why and how of foot care. Since you mentioned those three detoxifying ingredients, should we expect to see at least one of those in almost all of your products?
