Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, soothing foot soak? Ahhhhhh…

Recipe Directions:

Unless otherwise noted, mix together all ingredients thoroughly then store in an airtight container.

• Use 2 to 3 tablespoons per gallon of water used in soak.

Water temperature is at personal preference, but I find the hottest water my feet will comfortably tolerate gives the most relief and comfort.
