FOOT - DETOX, SEAL & MASSAGE

Oil your feet for a better sleep

My 20 minute nightly remedy?

I detox, seal & massage my feet before bed.

In reflexology, the pressure points in the feet are energetically connected to the organs. When proper pressure is applied to a certain are of the foot, the energy travels up that channel to the correlating organ to help clear energy blocks.

If this sounds awesome and you wanna learn more, read up on reflexology or get a treatment.

Go on, show your feet or your partners feet some love♥️

The Mind : Body Benefits of a Foot Massage

Reduce the constraints of stiffness due to dry skin conditions, while dually massaging the organs, has the following effects…

  • Reduction in stress and anxiety

  • Release of muscle tension

  • Deeper sleep

  • Improved blood circulation

  • Better digestion

  • Softer, relaxed feet

Detox ~ What You'll Need

In a bowl, combine the following ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons bentonite clay

  • 2 tablespoons water

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • Make-up brush or hands

Apply the masque in the bathroom while sitting on the edge of the tub, in a dry tub or with a foot tub. With a makeup brush, smear the masque {I like Mud Bath In A Jar} to the bottom of the feet and around the ankles. Allow the masque to sit for up to 10 minutes, then wash off with bubble bath, rinse and pat dry.

Seal ~ What You'll Need

  • Warmed massage oil

  • Warmed, soft fuzzy socks

Use a simple light {I prefer the non-greasy, QI Face + Body Gloss} oil like coconut, sesame, mustard or castor. If you’re body temperature tends towards hot sweats, coconut is a good choice. If you’re body temperature tends towards cold feet sesame or castor works well. Experiment to see what works for you. For an aromatherapy experience, you can mix in a few drops of your favorite essential oil.

Warm oil by placing the bottle of oil in a bath of hot water, make sure the oil is cool enough to the touch before applying it on your skin.

  • Fill your belly with fresh water

  • Take deep breaths in, slowly release your breath

  • Start with freshly cleaned feet & prayer

  • Anoint, a small amount of oil, coating ankles and bottoms of feet

  • Set intentions, then begin by massaging your heels in circular motions, going all the way around each ankle. Massage the joints in a circular motion and the long bones in a linear motion

  • Add additional oil if needed

  • Begin massaging the top of the feet, moving back and forth from the toes to the ankle

  • Gently pinch and massage each toe

  • Massage the sole of the foot and the arch
