Introduction
After a long day on your feet, there’s nothing quite like a relaxing foot soak to melt the stress away. One of the most underrated natural remedies for tired, aching feet is apple cider vinegar (ACV). Packed with antimicrobial properties and rich in acetic acid, ACV can soften skin, combat odor, and even relieve mild foot pain. Whether you're standing all day, dealing with cracked heels, or just in need of a calming ritual, this soothing foot soak will quickly become your go-to remedy.
Ingredients:
1 cup raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
6–8 cups warm water (enough to fully submerge feet)
1 tablespoon Epsom salt (optional, for added relaxation)
A few drops of essential oil (like lavender or tea tree, optional)
A basin or foot tub
Directions:
In a large basin or foot tub, combine the warm water and apple cider vinegar.
Stir in the Epsom salt until dissolved.
Add a few drops of your chosen essential oil for extra therapeutic benefits.
Soak your feet in the mixture for 15–20 minutes.
After soaking, pat feet dry with a clean towel and apply moisturizer if needed.
Serving and Storage Tips:
One-time use: It's best to prepare the foot soak fresh each time for maximum potency and hygiene.
Storage: If you make a larger batch, store it in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to one week. Reheat before use and always test the temperature before soaking.
