Tired Feet? Aching Feet? Dry, Cracked Feet? Here is a SIMPLE, frugal, homemade recipe to quickly soothe and heal those feet!
Take a pint canning jar (or any glass container that will hold 1 1/2 cup liquid volume) and measure 1 cup (or a little more) of Coconut Oil into it and place carefully into a warm oven to melt or slightly warm–until warm /liquefied, remove from the oven and add 20 drops of peppermint essential oil and 10 drops of mandarin orange essential oil. Mix, and pour into a decorative glass jar with lid–or the lowly canning jar works too! Set aside, allow to cool and harden back into solid.
When you have those sore feet that need some love and attention…just scoop some out of your jar and slather on the feet and rub in ’til absorbed by the skin. This would be a wonderful nightly treat for the feet–but even a few times a week will aid in healing dry, cracked feet–but this balm is especially nice for tired, aching feet–when applied by your spouse, a loving gesture for sure
Enjoy~
