DIY Eucalyptus Foot Soak

By A Cultivated Nest Team

I love relaxing in Epsom salts! They’re such a wonderful, natural way to relax your muscles and calm down after a long day. And what needs more relaxing than our feet? It’s so nice to place them in a hot soak, especially when you’ve been on them all day! Make your own homemade, relaxing soak with this DIY Eucalptus Foot Soak tutorial!

Stumped on what to give friends or family for a holiday or birthday gift? Sometimes relaxation is the best present! But a spa gift certificate can be expensive. Instead, how about giving them this natural and relaxing eucalyptus foot soak! This DIY eucalyptus foot soak recipe makes enough for about 2-3 soaks per jar.

DIY Eucalyptus Foot Soak

Ingredients

DIY eucalyptus foot soak

1 Cup baking soda
1/2 Cup Epsom salts
1/2 Cup sea salt
4 drops therapeutic grade eucalyptus essential oil
Green food coloring (optional)
2 8oz Mason jars

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine your baking soda, Epsom salts, and sea salt, then stir to combine.
2. Add about four drops of your eucalyptus essential oil and mix.

4. Scoop your foot soak mixture into two 8oz Mason jars.

6. Place the inner jar lid back on the Mason jar, then the fabric circle, then twist the outer lid ring around the two, holding the fabric in place.
7. Tie a piece of yarn around your lid to finish it off. Then enjoy your relaxing DIY eucalyptus foot soak, or give it away as a thoughtful homemade gift!

To Use

Pour about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the dry soak into a tub filled with water. The water should be relatively hot, but not uncomfortably so. Soak your feet in the water for 15-20 wonderfully relaxing minutes!

Need to relax after a long day? Make this easy DIY eucalyptus foot soak and give your feet a nice rest! This makes a great gift!

    Both of these are great! I love soaks and scrubs, especially eucalyptus for the feet. It’s so refreshing. Thanks for sharing. Pinning for later.

    This sounds absolutely wonderful. I am expecting umber #2 and after being on my feet all day with a toddler, I am ready for something like this. Pinning and getting out the Epsom salts as we ‘speak’ xx

    What a cute and easy DIY gift. Last year I made hand salve using shea butter and essential oils – this looks like a much easier project and I have all ingredients.
