Bath & Foot Spas

Soaking your feet in a foot bath or spa can not only help you relax at the end of a long day, but it can also improve circulation and release muscle tension. If you work on your feet, a foot bath can be crucial in the evening to help relieve pain and tightness, perfectly complementing other workout recovery methods. You can even use one as part of a bedtime routine to help you release stress and get a healthier sleep. And, for additional stress relief, you can put a drop of essential oil in the water or use an essential oil diffuser.

While you can receive benefits from soaking your feet in any container of warm water, the additional perks of dedicated foot soaking tubs include massage and bubbling features that increase relaxation. An electric footbath can also continue to heat the water so that it doesn’t get cold while you are soaking. So, treat yourself, or have some friends over and create your own home salon and spa.

Once you have your foot bath massager, you can choose to maximize its use by adding Epsom salts or essential oils, like lavender, eucalyptus and tea tree oil, to your water. Epsom salts are one way to help reduce swelling in the feet and ankles. The calming effects of essential oils can also help soothe your mind and body through relaxation and stress relief. Depending on your level of tension, you might also benefit from a shiatsu massager. If your budget allows for it, investing in a massage chair can also potentially make a huge difference with your body and well-being.

After your soak, make sure to moisturize your skin with a body lotion or oil to lock in the moisture from the spa. Doing this will give you the best foot spa experience. Sleep solutions such as mattress toppers and pads as well as white noise machines will help you rest up and get a good night’s sleep. If you also want to feel your best at the other end of the day—in the morning—consider using a light therapy lamp to feel brighter and more awake. This technology can be particularly useful in the darker winter months.
