Happy FEET

Posted by Annette Jennings | POST A COMMENT

Tired Feet? Whether on them all day at work or that hike gave your tootsies a beating pamper your feet by applying a thick coat of chest rub and cover with a pair of socks before going to bed at night. When you wake up, your feet will be moisturized and rejuvenated. Plus regular use will keep calluses at bay!

Make your own at home.

Ingredients:

2 parts coconut oil

1 part beeswax

eucalyptus essential oil (about 10 drops per ounce)

white camphor essential oil (about 5 drops per ounce)

Simply melt the oil and beeswax in a pan and then add the essential oils. Pour into your metal tin(s) or other container. And that's it!

The salve will harden within 10-15 minutes. If you find it is too soft, like the consistency of an ointment, you can scoop it back into the pan, remelt it and add more beeswax. If it is too hard, remelt and add more oil. I've also remelted to add more essential oil when I wasn't satisfied with the strength of the oils.
