Peppermint Foot Soak Essential Oils Recipe
INGREDIENTS
2 cups of Epsom salts
1/2 cup baking soda
5 drops of peppermint essential oil
DIRECTIONS
- Add ingredients to a bowl.
- Stir with wooden spoon to mix thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into a jar or bag, and use within a few weeks.
- To use, simply fill a small tub or large bucket (I like these inflatable foot soak tubs) with warm or slightly hot water. Add the salt mixture and soak your feet for 10-15 minutes!
- Don’t forget to follow up with a pumice stone and a good foot cream afterward.
Did You Know?
- Epsom Salt will soothe aches, eliminate smells and softens up rough skin.
- Baking Soda is good for exfoliating, leaving your skin soft and helps eliminate odors.
- Peppermint contains menthol which induces a cooling sensation and can help ease tension headaches and muscular aches and pains.

This sounds like a really nice soak. I haven’t used peppermint. I need too!
I had no idea that baking soda was good for exfoliating! Whattayaknow!! I like to make things as well. At least I know what’s in it and can read the ingredients. I only wish this lasted a little longer or I would give as gifts. But alas, I guess I’ll have to keep this for myself! Thanks so much!
I would love to try this. My feet could sure use it. I’ve heard that about Epsom Salt but I’ve never tried it. I’m very interested in essential oils. I’d love to try them sometime.
I love DIY beauty products. This soak looks great. Peppermint sounds so refreshing. And I didn’t know that baking soda is good for exfoliating, added benefit.
thanks so much for this,can t wait to have a soak !!
I tried it because i was sore from a hair bump under my arm and it dried it out and bust it in just one soak!!!!! Also, my feet have never looked or felt so good & refreshed!!!!!!!!!!!!
