Do you know…….. Our hands and feet are biomechanical marvels of God’s creation. Just like our hands, our foot has complex anatomy (which is beyond the scope of this article) with 26 bones, 33 joints and several muscles, tendon and ligaments holding it together. Our feet has thousands of nerve endings

         Pampering Feet with Aromatherapy

(A nerve is a bundle of fibers that receives and sends messages between the body and the brain through neurons), which makes foot massage feel so incredible. Mayo Clinic reports that studies sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health found that reflexology could “reduce pain and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and enhance relaxation and sleep,” due to the fact that every one of our nerve linings end in our footing.

Our feet is the most neglected part of our body, while they deserve lot of pampering and tender loving care (TLC). Our feet carry our weight, light or heavy, day in day out without any complains or vacation except for the night time when most of us are in bed sleeping. We cram it into tight socks, gym shoes, pinching high heels, or standing around, or walking to class-work-to the car, or running to catch a train-bus, or exercising, etc. Energetically the feet represent our connection with earth, the sense of being grounded, and rooting us to Mother Nature. That’s why walking bare feet on fine sand or soft grass gives  euphoric experience.

Aromatherapy using Eessential oils are quick and easy way to treat our feet and provide TLC, so they can keep up with every step of our busy life. Essential Oils are natural, volatile, concentrated extracts, taken from the roots, leaves, seeds, bark, or blossoms of plants. It should be diluted for a safe topical application following all safety rules and an expert advice. Following essential oils could be used to pamper feet:

Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Cypress, Lavender, Bergamot, Ginger, Geranium

The Mineral Salt foot scrub to Revitalize Tired Feet
