"Mind, Body & Spiritual Health Series" #9 "Release Party, foot soak & salt scrub"

Now everybody may not have the witch doctor cabinet like me filled with herbs, teas,essential oils and such but you can get some things from the grocery store for very cheap (even use food stamps lol) to make treatments for your self. Today's recipe is for the "release party" a foot soak and exfoliate for dead skin.

A good hot foot soak opens up pores, releases toxins, absorbs nutrients into the skin, releases pressure in the sinus due to blood vessels located in the foot diverting the blood supply, helps relieve headaches, congestion etc. These should not last longer than 15 minutes or so.
Make sure your body is warm and the water is up to your ankle.

For the release party, first we ask what are we releasing lol. I always use lemon, it is detoxifying and also has a cleansing vibration. A lot of people have peppermint tea about so make a concoction and add it to the water, that is good for releasing tension and congestion. If you have essential oils about add those, lavender for relaxation, mints rejuvenate and open, orange refreshes, cinnamon elevates mood, rosemary stimulates. I will post some attributes of essential oils another time. For a simple softener of callous try lemon juice (2 caps of each) and olive oil soak. Then we exfoliate with a salt scrub.

Ok after the release party its nice to have your mate massage your feet with this scrub creation, you can take turns on each other it is very sensual and relaxing and your feet will be smooth and soft.

Salt Scrub

1/2 cup of oil.
Something light like sweet almond oil or my favorite grape seed oil because of the antioxidants.

1 cup fine sea salt SEA SALT not iodized table salt. You can get some from the health food store in bulk for cheap or pay like $2 for a lb or so. If you have high blood pressure or your skin is sensitive you can use sugar. Raw natural sugar, not refined.

High quality essential oil (like 5-8 drops) or you can use tea herbs which is a bit more messy.
Mash up some chamomile, peppermint tea in your scrub like a poultice.

Next Put the salt (or sugar) in a small bowl.

Add the oil, mixing well with a spoon or wooden stick. The texture should be moist enough to hold together, but not overly oily. You can adjust the amount of oil to achieve that texture.
Drop in the oils or herbs and your all set.

You should work each area of you foot or body for about a minute. Then wrap your feet in the hot towel or in the plastic bag for ten minutes then rinse and wipe clean. You can use this scrub on your whole body (except your face). It will last for like 3 whole body scrubs and probably 8-10 foot scrubs.

If you have a roasting pan the electric kind you can warm towels in it to wrap your feet while covered in your salt scrub. For extra moisture put VIC vapor rub on your feet or olive oil put them in plastic and stick a sock on for like 2-3 hours. .
