What is the foot bath?
Foot bath also known as foot soak is a holistic health remedy dates back hundreds years. Back in the old days, it would be a common practise to come home and soak your feet. This ancient practice believed in the importance of daily foot bath and how feet are the foundation or root to our health.
Foot bath consists of placing the feet in hot water for 15-20 minutes. It is given at temperatures ranging from 40–45°C. This treatment can be either sitting in a chair or lying down.
