The good news is you don’t have to spend a small fortune to pamper yourself! All that’s needed to make this decadent foot soak are a couple of common household items from your pantry, a few drops of essential oils and a handful of dried lavender flowers.
Tea tree oil is valued as a natural remedy for treating bacterial and fungal skin conditions, preventing infection, and it promotes healing. It is often used as an antiseptic to treat minor cuts and burns. It boosts wound healing, fights acne, helps get rid of toenail fungus and it’s effective in treating athletes foot, which makes it perfect for your tootsies.
It’s been shown to kill several common bacteria, viruses and germs responsible for causing colds, the flu, and other illness.
