As the seasons shift and the days grow cooler, our bodies call for grounding. The feet—our roots, our connection to the earth—often carry the weight of our days unnoticed. What if we paused to honor them? What if we steeped them in warmth, in herbs, in intention?

This herbal foot soak is more than a recipe. It’s a ritual of return.

🌸 Why Lavender & Chamomile?

Lavender calms the nervous system, softens tension, and invites rest. Chamomile soothes inflammation and carries a gentle floral energy that whispers ease. Together, they create a sensory balm for tired soles and weary spirits.

🧂 The Recipe

Ingredients

• ½ cup Epsom salt

• 2 tbsp dried lavender buds

• 2 tbsp dried chamomile flowers

Instructions

1. Boil 2–3 cups of water and pour over the dried herbs. Let steep for 10–15 minutes.

2. Strain the infusion into a foot basin filled with warm water.

4. Immerse your feet for 15–20 minutes. Breathe deeply. Let go.

🌿 A Moment of Mindfulness

As you soak, consider placing one hand on your heart and one on your belly. Feel the breath move through you. Let the warmth of the water remind you: you are held, you are home.
