Natural Beauty Recipe: Peppermint Twist Foot Treatment for Tickle-Worthy Toes

by Tracy Neely

Peppermint belongs to the labiatae mint family of plants.  Peppermint Essential Oil is highly regarded for soothing digestion.  It is also widely used in foot treatments to relieve sore feet.  The primary constituent of peppermint oil is menthol, which causes a physical reaction when inhaled or applied to the skin.  The essential oil is both soothing to the spirit and energizing to the body.

Personally speaking when I have had a migraine headache, I apply peppermint essential oil to my temples as well as my shoulders to relive any tension I may be feeling.

Sea salt is obtained from evaporating sea water and is harvested through ocean water into large clay trays that allow the sun and wind to evaporate it naturally

Grape seed oil is extracted from the Vitis vinifera variety of grape.  It is one of the most versatile carrier oils to use with essential oils in beauty treatments and is one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin E.  As one of the fat-soluble vitamins, Vitamin E helps retain moisture in the skin and prevents dryness.  Store grape seed oil and away from direct sunlight.

Peppermint Twist Foot Treatment Recipe:

Ingredients:

5 drops peppermint essential oil
1 ½ cups fine sea salt
¼ cup grape seed oil

Directions:

Combine sea salt and grape seed oil together in a glass bowl (a plastic bowl will retain the smell of the peppermint oil)
Add 5 drops essential oil to mixture and mix well. Massage the mixture into your ankles and feet paying close attention to any areas that need extra tender care, Rinse feet and ankles with warm water and apply your favorite foot crème.

Beauty Note: Please be careful to avoid any areas where you may have a cut on your skin. Put on a pair of cotton socks and relax as your feet feel refreshed and relaxed!
