Aromatherapy is a popular way to help treat a variety of health and physical ailments.
By applying essential oils to the feet — either directly or via a foot bath — your body is able to absorb them quite quickly and effectively.
The feet are parts of the body which are capable of absorbing herbal and essential oil remedies. For additional benefit, you can also use reflexology of the foot to aid in lung and sinus complaints.”

How To Apply Essential Oils To Feet
When applying essential oils directly to the feet, you need to first choose a carrier in which to mix your essential oils.
Pure vegetable oils like olive, safflower, and sesame work especially well.
For every 1 tablespoon of carrier oil you use, you’ll want to add 3 to 5 drops of essential oils.
For foot baths, the following carriers work especially well: vegetable oil, honey, cream, milk, bath salts, and Castile lotion. Or, you could simply add the essential oils directly onto a bath mitt or washcloth.
Basically, any of the essential oil recipes that you come across which can be applied directly to your skin (via hand lotions, massages, baths, and rubs) can also be applied to your feet — in a similar manner.
Who knew that I'd be writing about feet for a living?!… Or even that a website devoted solely to feet, shoes, and foot care issues would be successful? But as it turns out, many people have questions and concerns about their feet — and we do our best to provide the most helpful answers here. Myself and a handful of others who happen to have some rather unique foot issues share our firsthand experiences with everything from ingrown toenails, bunions, calluses and rough feet to trendy shoes and helpful foot modeling tips. When I'm not writing about all things below the ankle, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
