The Epsom Salt and Apple Cider Vinegar foot bath recipe that REVERSES foot pain in 20 minutes

Have you ever got out of bed and felt a pain in your heels or a throb in your toes? People usually experience these pains when they transition from wearing boots to shoes, or shoes to sandals and flats. The pain is sometimes so bad that you have to do foot stretches to relieve it. However, your grandparents may have a solution to this. If you ask them about the pain, they will tell you to prepare a foot bath with Epsom salts and apple cider vinegar – a well-known homemade remedy for relieving foot pain.

Here’s why this remedy works.

The hot water

Hot water is a very powerful remedy. It has been used for centuries in Asia and Northern Europe to relieve the symptoms from arthritis and tuberculosis. It won’t cure tuberculosis, but at least it relieves muscles and eases the strain on the bones. The heat from the water improves circulation and creates more space between the joints in order to reduce the grinding of bones.

When using the remedy, make sure the water is warm, not scalding hot. If the water is too hot, it will raise your blood pressure and strain your heart. While you’re soaking your feet in the bath, do toe stretches and curls.

Epsom salts

Epsom salts are rich in minerals such as magnesium, which will relax your muscles and detox your feet while improving the calcium absorption in your body. They also contain sulfates, which provide the following health benefits when combined with magnesium:

  • Improved circulation and heart health; reduced heart irregularities; prevention of hardened arteries; reduced risk of blood clots;
  • Improved insulin use and reduced risk of diabetes;
  • They can flush out toxins and heavy metals from the cells and ease muscle pain;
  • Improved nerve function throughout the body by regulating electrolytes. Calcium is the body’s main electrical conductor, while magnesium is needed to regulate calcium levels in the body;
  • Reduced stress – excess adrenaline and stress deplete the levels of magnesium in the body, which is necessary for the body to bind adequate amount of serotonin, a mood hormone within the brain;
  • Reduced inflammation which leads to relieved muscle pain and cramps.

Apple cider vinegar

ACV is a substance with powerful anti-fungal and moisturizing properties which can reduce the odor from the feet. If your feet smell bad or you’re suffering from athlete’s foot, apple cider vinegar will help you defeat the condition and eliminate all bacteria on the feet. It will also soften your hard skin.

Here’s how to prepare the bath:

Ingredients

Half a gallon of warm water

Two cups of ACV

Half a cup of Epsom salts

Preparation

Mix the ingredients together in a bigger bowl then soak your feet in it until it goes cold. Repeat the process until necessary.
