Foot Bath
We all know our feet get sweat. And being sweat is considered as a symptom of a healthy person. It is nature's own detoxifying system. But even nature' detoxifying system needs help. Imagine an all-natural system for detoxifying that uses your feet as a conduit to remove unhealthy toxins from your body. Therefore special care should be given to your feet. And the best time to do it is when you are having a relaxing bath.
Natural Process
Body workers understand that a footbath is an exquisitely relaxing prelude to any body treatment—or an amazing treat in and of itself. Footbaths are great for helping ourselves to relieve aches and pains and for reviving hot, tired, burning feet and a fatigued body. In general, they’re a delicious way to pamper these hard-working and often-neglected parts of us!
Foot Serves as a channel for the body:
Foot serves as a channel for the body to get rid of the toxins build up in the various parts of the body. These toxins can lead to those sluggish feelings, head aches, various diseases, and possibly a shortening of one's life.
Why Foot Bath is necessary?
However, every day our body's build up toxins from the air we breath, the food we eat, the utensils we use for cooking, and more. So many toxins that sweat alone will not rid us of these disease causing, life shortening hazardous materials. To avoid our insides from becoming a toxic waste dump, internal purifying is a must. And for this we wash up ourselves and take carefully planned baths. Footbaths transcend relaxation. They also help us to detoxify, increase energy, balance emotions, and relieve stress and discomfort. In fact, the benefits of this tradition are so numerous; one might wonder why we don’t take the time to indulge ourselves in such simple luxury everyday…?
- When not to use:
- DO NOT use a footbath if you are diabetic, have poor circulation, or if any area of your feet or legs is inflamed or has an open wound. Consult a physician before using if you have any kind of fungal infection, swelling, fracture or persistent pain.
- Do not use if your body lacks the ability to sense heat unless approved by your physician. Should pain or discomfort result discontinue use and consult your physician.
Advantages of Having Footbath
- Footbath or hipbath is a good alternative in case of heart conditions or blood pressure problems.
- Herbs in a footbath could improve your skin and help you eliminate acne. To know about herbs go to the ‘invigoration bath’ section of the article.
- When you use a heated footbath, veins in your feet start to expand. Over a period of 15-20 minute, the warm water affects your entire vascular (blood) system and you get improved blood circulation.
- By adding an herbal infusion into the hot water in the footbath, minerals and other phytochemicals from the herbs enter the soles of your feet and into your blood stream. This means that you can introduce herbal phytochemicals into your blood stream using the footbath.
- During your footbath, the herbal chemicals quickly circulated throughout your body and get to work neutralizing acid, killing bacteria, and improving your skin circulation.
