1. why should I take a foot bath?
- Stress relief
A warm foot bath dilates the blood vessels. If you add the stress-relieving Epsom Salt Relax Bath with Lavender from Casida to the water, this effect is further enhanced. The magnesium-rich Epsom salt and natural lavender oil from Casida refresh the body and ensure relaxation.
- Fall asleep more easily
After a stressful day, many people find it difficult to switch off in bed. Some even resort to chemical sleep aids. But before you use pills to fall asleep, you could try a pleasant foot bath.
- Blood circulation for cold feet
A foot bath is also useful for cold feet, as it promotes blood circulation - regardless of the cause of the cold feet.
2 How does a foot bath with baking soda work?
According to naturopathic theory, a balanced acid-base balance is crucial for our health. The proven quality of Casida's Natron Vital Powder can be used in a variety of ways and is ideal as a foot bath additive. This product from Casida is pure food-grade baking soda and can also be used internally.
- A foot bath with baking soda can normalize the acid-base balance if used regularly.
- An alkaline foot bath with baking soda can relieve the body, which has stored an excess of acidic waste products. Excess slag can have a negative effect on health and should be flushed out.
- In addition to its neutralizing properties, a foot bath with baking soda is extremely inexpensive compared to other additives for a foot bath.
- Depending on the amount of baking soda in the footbath, the pH value can be 8.5, while the pH value of the skin is around 5.5. In a warm footbath with baking soda, the acidic slag reaches the surface through the open pores and the pH value is balanced.
3. how do I prepare a foot bath with baking soda?
All you need to prepare a foot bath with baking soda is a bowl, water and baking soda. The pH value of the water should be no more than 8.5 - that's about 3 teaspoons of baking soda for a large bowl of water. Until you find the perfect mixture for the baking soda foot bath, you can check the pH value with a test strip. The recommended water temperature is 37 degrees and the baking soda foot bath should last at least 30 minutes.
