Peppermint and rosemary is such a beautiful combination. Super soothing. Thank you Heidi.

Oh, isn't it? I LOVE this combination so much....and I also love that peppermint and rosemary are not expensive essential oils, either, even from quality companies.

I can't wait to use this. I bet the scent is wonderful too.

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

Let me know how you like it, Ann! :-)

@anngiaquintoscott3248 Год назад

@@HeidiVillegas I finally found time to sit and soak my feet. I altered the recipe for pain, tingling, and slight neuropathy along with the circulation. I used Comfrey and St John's Wort oils. I also added a little bit of Magnesium Flakes into the baking soda/salt mixture and Balsam Copaiba for extra pain relief. It was so soothing. I can see me using this a lot now that barefoot season is over, and I have to wear shoes.

@shellsmith2268 Год назад

This sounds fantastic,😆thanks for including the very helpful update - that it has helped your mum & how, for saying how much to use, how to use with oil & separately & I weirdly enjoyed how satisfying your foot soak looked 🤣😅 I'm going to make some this weekend to try for my circulation issues, will gift some to a friend & my neighbour's daughter who had an ankle injury not long ago, if I enjoy them as much as you & your mum, they will definately be on my christmas gift giving list. You are so giving & empowering Heidi 🥰

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

Thanks, Shell! Let me know how you like it! :-) LOL---and it WAS satisfying! I need to do that a LOT more!

@kathleenmueller8110 Год назад

Just want to go on record that a number of people use this foot soak. It is nothing less than phenominal. Would highly recommend this foot soak. Another WIN from Heidi!

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

Oh, thank you SO much, Kathy! I wish I had some now! I've been on my feet ALL day long, and they're killing me. But I'm not home. I'll dream of this soak in my sleep. lol

@user-cx8qo8wu6z Год назад

Hi! Thanks for sharing your wisdom :) My dad has very poor curculation in his lower legs and I would love to make this for him. The only thing Im struggling eith is the arnica and comfrey infused oil - is this something that can be purchased or do I need to make it (not sure where to buy dried arnica/comfrey or what oil you infused in?)? Sorry for the multiple questions and thank you again for sharing your knowledge!

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

You can just use regular olive oil, if you like. Or, consider infusing some rosemary and peppermint leaf! :-) These would be wonderful, too.

@direland8484 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. This morning just using cinnamon EO with coconut oil to rub on my feet & leg.

@HeidiVillegas 11 месяцев назад

Sounds great! Very nice combination! Be sure to stay under 0.4% dilution with the cinnamon, as it's sensitizing. :-)

@sedighehtorabi2321 2 года назад

Hello Heidi Thank you for this foot soak formula, I would like to ask if I can use Calendula infused oil in place of comfrey arnica infused oil?

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

Yes you can! Calendula is wonderful for the skin!

My husband had bad cases of gout yrs ago and drank pure black cherry juice and lots of water. Hasn't had any problem since, but he's careful not to eat too much asparagus.

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

Tart cherry juice is excellent! So is celery seed extract and the bromelain in pineapple. :-) I'm very glad for your husband!

@monalisamackey783 Год назад

Hi Heidi, sounds wonderful! I will try this 😊. Did you use steam distilled lemon essential oil in your blend given that it is not phototoxic? Also, for how long do you soak your feet?

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

Hi, Monalisa! (LOVE the name! :-) I didn't bother checking the phototoxicity of the lemon because this is a rinse off product and is also in my feet/legs, which are generally covered. If it were going on the skin as a topical rub on product....absolutely the phototoxicity would matter tremendously. You can soak for as long as you're comfortable. I soaked about 15 minutes, mainly because I can't sit still for long! lol

@monalisamackey783 Год назад

@@HeidiVillegas Thank you so much!…for the response and the compliment! 😊😊

@cherylhavelka2542 2 года назад

Could you also make a foot spray with the same essential oils?

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

You could! I think the soak would be more effective, but for short term, the spray would be helpful too.

@cherylhavelka2542 2 года назад

My mom has the same foot issues and I am going to make this for her also! What were the jar sizes you used? And could you use organic ginger powder instead of the essential oil? I don't have that essential oil yet. Thank you!

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

I used two pint jars for the mixture. And you sure could use some ginger powder. I think that would actually be a nice addition, even with the essential oils! Good call, Cheryl!

@kathleenmueller8110 2 года назад

Thank you Heidi…..how do zI get the arnica/ comfrey oil?

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

You'll need to infuse the oil with the herbs. You can find out how to do that here: www.healingharvesthomestead.com/home/2016/11/25/how-to-infuse-herbs-in-oils-for-salves-soaps-remedies?rq=infus

@vickeymcdonald4054 2 года назад

This sounds wonderul. I not only have circulation issues, but I'm on my feet (on concrete) 8-10 hours a day. Unfortunately, I'm also low income. And essential oils are fairly expensive so hard to stay in my budget. Can I make infused oils of the other ingredients like peppermint, lemon, rosemary and the ginger and use those?

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

Hi, Vickey! Yes, you can infuse the peppermint and rosemary herbs with the other herbs in oil. It won't be quite as powerful, but will still be helpful. Also, if you were to purchase Plant Therapy essential oils, you'll find they're very inexpensive overall and of very good quality. Check them out and the prices on the rosemary and peppermint (both are inexpensive oils). bit.ly/34cqzYU

@melissaheathcote9822 6 месяцев назад

Hey Heidi, Would you keep the dilution the same if you used this on hands for arthritis?

@HeidiVillegas 6 месяцев назад

Hi, Melissa! I made this video quite awhile back and can't remember the dilution. But for hand for arthritis, I suggest a dilution between 2% and 5%, and this would depend on some factors such as the age of the client, whether or not they're on meds (and if so, what they are), and other general indications.

@laural230 Год назад

when you added the essential oils directly into the salt/soda blend for a 1 pint jar how many total drops would you add in? The amount that was in the 1oz dropper bottle or cut in half or double? This is for a healthy adult. Thanks

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

Hi, Laura! For a healthy adult, I'd go with a 2% dilution of the total amount of the baking soda/salt mixture.

@kimberlyd9049 2 года назад

Could you mix the Himalayan salt with Epsom salt?

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

Absolutely!

@EstherlovesYah Год назад

Hi Heidi. Do you use 3 cups if you're using just epsom salts and no Himalayan salt?

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

You can substitute straight across with the epsoms. :-)

@EstherlovesYah Год назад

@@HeidiVillegas Thank you!!

@sedighehtorabi2321 2 года назад

And one more question for my father who is 81 years old, is it possible to use this formula with salt and baking soda and same essential oil for whole body soaking in the bath or not. Thank you for reply

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

I would cut back on the essential oils to about 1/3 of what I used here due to his age and it being a whole body soak. But really it works great just with the feet! :-)

@nomane18 7 месяцев назад

Would this be safe for my 14 year old daughter who has a cold constitution and her feet always cold? Can I also use this mix in my Foot Spa?

@HeidiVillegas 7 месяцев назад

Yes, your 14 year old should be fine, as long as she's not allergic to any of the essential oils....and these are GRAS (generally regarded as safe). I'm not sure about your Foot Spa? Be sure to read the manufacturer's directions for that.🥰

@sharonrobinson3920 Год назад

Do you sell your products

@HeidiVillegas Год назад

Hi, Sharon---As for right now, no I don't sell any products. I just teach through my online school, in my work with clients, and occasionally in person. Based on FDA rules and guidelines, herbalists are not allowed to both share information about the benefits of medicinal plants in health related terms AND sell products at the same time. It's a fine line we walk. I used to have a products shop, but decided to teach after a time instead because making what you need is truly easy once you know how.

@ceciliafuentes3299 2 года назад

I wish I could use essential oils, but my skin can't handle it.

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

How are you using them? You should never use them "neat" and always dilute. If your skin is sensitive, you may need a VERY low dilution, perhaps 1% only to start and with benign oils like lavender or geranium, which are actually good for the skin. ***If you can use fragranced products (laundry detergent, lotions, and other items), then you may just be using too much or too high of a dilution of the essential oils. They're very powerful and great understanding needs to be used with them.❤️

@cherylhavelka2542 2 года назад

Oh, do more self care and sip some delicious homemade herbal tea while you soak!

@HeidiVillegas 2 года назад

Yes!!! Such a great idea!!!
