Thank you. The biggest mistake is not even doing it at all!! We all listen to the reasons why we shouldn’t do things and then, just don’t do anything.

As a Reflexologist, this video was very helpful. I suggest espom salt soaks for tired feet to my clients. I will pass this information to all my clients.

Most people I know use Epsom salts to soak our horse's feet when any foot is warm to touch and shows bruising. More than likely there's an abscess brewing and the Epsom salts helps to draw out infections.

Like a hot tube, set to 100 degrees F, when turn turned up to 102 degrees F, it feels extra hot and uncomfortable. Remember, 98.6 degrees F is normal body temp and high temperatures will always flow from an area of high energy to areas of low temperature. So, it heats the feet & body first for a long time, as the water is a good conductor and cools to the air around it, even if A/C or Heat is set to 78-68 degrees F. It enters the feet first, opens the blood vessels that allows warmer than normal blood to flow up into the torso. It cools the the air around it but that takes time depending on the temp, volume and external air temp contact on how fast it cools. 100 degrees F is best overall contact. As it cools over ten - 15 minutes, it begins to feel to cold. That is your sign it is time to stop. Don't forget to start without a towel to step on. Tile is slick when wet, so avoid accidents. Use a nylon scuff pad to clean heels and feet from dead skin cells. You shed 100, 000 cells per hour. This is how blood hounds track people even in a slight breeze. Otherwise they are funneled down onto our feet and gather. This is the loose crusty stuff found on you feet. A gentle rubbing will get rid of them. DK, ASE master tech since 78, retired.

I have tried a few Epsom salt products which help in muscle recovery, but after a friend's recommendation, I have found my favorite - Elemnt Sports Science Epsom salt is now my go-to for relaxing and easing muscle pain

The basin you can get for Walmart (Homedics) is around a gallon up to the maximum line. I have that cheap Homedics basin and my formula is 1 cup of Epsom salt and 30 drops of tea tree oil. I used this basin and formula to cure a case of pitted keratolysis that I had for the prior 10 years, which was highly stanky. You can do foot baths for softness for beauty, whatever, I'm doing it for cleanliness. If you have stinky feet, you need to foot bathe!

[trini_boi]

Thanks for posting this.. I'm going to try all the instructions you gave and pray my swelling from my bike fall heals 🙏🏿

[DamoSuzuki]

Excellent video. Should I wash my feet directly afterwards?

[Mega_Casual]

One bottle of water as a measurement? What size bottle? 8oz? 12oz?, 16oz? (Maybe using a measuring cup would be a better way. Like 1 tablespoon of Epson Salt to 1 or 1.5 cups as an example.)

[kathykay]

Thank you for posting this important information. May you and yours always be blessed!

[stelladina]

Dr Kim thinks for all the information you share very helpful indeed 💯

[andrewlewis]

Thanks so much. This was so helpful! Very detailed and explained!

[pjj.]

This information is very helpful with the exception of the amount of water. You said a bottle, what size? Moving your hands in a circle is not a measurement.

I went out with a friend, who told me that my arms was swollen at first I thought it was fat, but as time went on I realized that the swollen face wasnt the only symptoms I saw. The ankles feet and legs got swollen. But with the help of Dr Iyhere everyth
