According to the Chinese system of reflexology our feet have natural energy zones that are connected to certain organs in our body. That means that through the feet you can cleanse your body, rid yourself of internal toxins and improve overall health.
Healing with natural remedies
One option is a foot bath in apple cider vinegar.
A foot bath in apple cider vinegar has long been used to reduce body weight, relieve digestive problems, eliminate respiratory problems and improve skin condition.
Our feet are exposed daily to many microbes and lack of oxygenation causes infections, fungi, unpleasant odors and the skin on the soles becomes dry and rough.
Apple cider vinegar contains biologically active compounds that destroy bacteria and microbes. Therefore it is one of the most effective natural remedies for addressing many health problems.
It removes unpleasant odors, treats fungal infections, softens the skin, improves skin quality and much more. In addition, the application is very simple and easily accessible.
Apple cider vinegar bath
All you have to do is heat some water, pour it into a basin or tub and put your feet in it. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar and a few drops of your favorite essential oil (for example lavender). Soak your feet in this mixture for 30 minutes, repeat such a bath once a week and you will notice the difference immediately.
To get rid of dry callused skin, leave your feet in this bath for 45 minutes, then clean your heels with a pumice stone.
