As a final restorative for tired feet, massage with this lotion after soaking in a foot bath. Alum hardens the skin, helping to prevent blisters. The oils feed dry patches that tend to crack and the lavender soothes aching muscles. Dip a piece of rough toweling into the Lotion and rub into the feet, giving special attention to the insteps, arches, and ankles.
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) sunflower oil
- 1/2 tbsp (7.5 ml) cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) oil of lavender
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) alum powder
Put all the ingredients into a jam jar and stand the jar in a pan of hot water. Heat gently and stir. Allow it to cool, then screw on the lid and shake thoroughly. Remove the lid until completely cold. Shake again before use.
