Herbal essential oil contains potent compounds that are soothing and healing to the hardest working part of our body--our feet. From merely relaxing at the end of a long day to treating conditions to moisturizing dry scaly skin and even healing fungal infections such as athlete's foot, an herbal foot massage oil can be an effective way to get great results. The following tips will teach you make an herbal foot massage oil from a blend of aromatherapy essential oils.
Instructions
1. Pour the olive oil into a mixing bowl. Olive oil serves as a "carrier oil," which is typically used to dilute pure essential oils. It may be substituted with avocado, almond, jojoba or grape seed oil.
2. Add three to five drops of peppermint essential oil and two to six drops of eucalyptus essential oil. Mix thoroughly to combine the oils. Keep in mind that it is easier to add more if you use too little than it is to take some out if you use too much.
3. Pour the herbal oil into a bottle with a tight cap. Use a funnel to avoid spilling any. Cap the bottle tightly and place it in a warm, dark area for up to two weeks. This allows for the oils to truly combine.
4. Massage the herbal foot massage oil into your feet with firm, circular motions to work the oil deep into your feet muscles. Use your fingers and thumbs to apply pressure where required. Put on socks after your massage is done.
