Tired Aching Feet Find Relief with Hydrogen Peroxide Soaks
Finishing up another hectic week of rushing from one thing
to the next, you fall into bed on Friday night relishing the idea
that tomorrow you can stay in bed that extra 30 minutes or so…
Or perhaps you’ll be up extra early to get in that weekly reunion
with the ocean on your surfboard, or to get to work on yet another
home improvement project…
Whatever your schedule may portend, giving your feet a break
at the end of a long week is a great idea that can provide not
only soothing relaxful calm before bed, but also work to help keep
your feet, their skin and toenails healthy and clean, improve your
circulation and even help relieve swollen ankles and sore or tender
spots on feet and ankles.
And it’s the simplest thing in the world to do…
Just fill a rubber maid kitchen tub or other roughly
rectangular plastic tub with warm water, a few tablespoons
of Epsom salt and four to eight ounces of 3 percent hydrogen
peroxide.
I usually start out with about 4 ounces of peroxide, then as
I add more hot water, I add a bit more peroxide as well. If you
start with approximately 1/3 of a tub of warm water you’ll have
room to add hot water and make the soak last longer…
Personally, I could soak my feet for an hour no problem…And because
the foot soak is so portable and simple, it’s easy to do while watching
television, reading or even working at the computer. But I do recommend
trying to fit in a little time to simply relax and let yourself feel the sweet
relief of aching tired feet being soothed.
For a real full on treatment, you can invest in a foot bath that has “whirlpool
action” (which, for those with chronic circulation and foot trouble is often
recommended by doctors). But even without the extra punch of that whirl
pool action, just swishing your feet around in the peroxide and Epsom salt
soak will feel wonderful and do wonders.
Only 30 minutes of soaking is enough to help heal cuts, athlete’s foot,
scaly skin or calluses. When you’re ready to end your soak, dry off
those newly revived tootsies and do your weekly grooming. Toenails will
be soft and easy to work with, and you can use a pumice stone on your
feet before you dry them if you like…
In the end, you’ll have clean, healthy and nicely groomed feet and toenails
and you’ll feel rejuvenated and relaxed. It’s a great ritual before bed time
for those who have trouble falling asleep. In fact, if sleeping is a problem,
you might want to consider a full on h2o2 bath before bedtime.
Just add a cup of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide to your half full bath tub,
and about 1/2 cup Epsom salts… Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. You’ll sleep like a baby.
