Above all, it is most important to look after our feet and wash them daily. Since the feet are excretory organs and the sweat rids the body of toxins, it is even more important to wash your feet every day than it is to wash your face. This cleansing is very important to one’s general well-being. Although there are incidents mentioned in the Bible where ‘washing of the feet’ had a symbolic meaning (for example humility), we should never overlook the intrinsic therapeutic value either. The washing of feet in the Middle East is almost a ritual because most people wear sandals and recognise the hygienic and health reasons for doing so. We should do it for the same reasons. To convince yourself, try washing your feet every day for one month and you will notice how your general feeling of well-being improves.
At the end of the day, if you feel tired and perhaps have a headache, try a herbal foot bath and see how it will soothe you. Add to the bath wild thyme, juniper needles or any other aromatic herbs and your feet will feel refreshed and invigorated. To increase the effect, after the foot bath apply a good oil that stimulates skin function; St John’s wort oil or olive oil can be used for this. Even if done only once a week, this oil treatment is most beneficial. Another soothing foot oil is Juniperosan.
Daily care of the feet takes only a few minutes but it pays dividends in good health and saves medical bills. Try to do it on a regular basis. Further guidelines for proper foot care are given immediately below.
