We need to take better care of our feet than we typically do. Though we often take them for granted, our feet are incredibly sensitive and according to Feet First Foot Care, possess approximately 8,000 different nerve endings. That means that your feet have more nerve endings per square centimeter than any other part of your body. But taking care of your feet means more than just going in for a pedicure every once in a while. It also means treating them with regular foot soaks.
Yes, a foot soak can make a big difference for your feet. What kinds of healing benefits can foot soaks offer? Let’s find out.
A foot soak is beneficial for your entire body as well as your mind in that it reduces stress. Sitting through a foot soak actually forces you to relax to a certain degree, enjoying the warmth and the effects of whatever blend you have applied to your soak. Let yourself calm down as you sit down and relax to enjoy a foot soak; the reduction in stress is good for your heart and muscles as well.
A foot soak can additionally boost your overall nerve function, as well as your muscle function. There’s a reason why we sometimes feel as if our feet are somewhat numb. It’s because the nerve endings within them haven’t been properly attended to. A foot soak can improve the overall nerve function within your feet, allowing you to experience more feeling in them again.
A lot of us suffer from toenail fungus without even realizing it. Not only is this aesthetically unappealing, but it also creates brittle toenails, which can crack and split. Toenail fungus can be treated through foot soaks, allowing this unsightly issue to be taken care of for good.
Splinters are not only irritating, but they can also cause infection, they’re often quite difficult to remove. A foot soak can soften the skin around your feet, making it easier for you to remove your splinters simply and effectively.
Sprains and bruises can cause pain in your feet, which can be difficult to soothe directly. The heat from a foot soak will help you soothe that pain without medication.
Foot soaks are worth it. You just need to take the time for them regularly.
