Optional: Epsom salts (½–1 cup), lavender oil (5 drops)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Fill your tub with warm water (ideal temp: 98–104°F / 37–40°C).
Bundle the rosemary in a cloth or tea ball — this keeps it contained and prevents slipping.
Add to the running water so the heat releases the essential oils.
(Optional) Add Epsom salts (rich in magnesium) and a few drops of lavender for extra relaxation.
Soak for 15–20 minutes, breathing deeply and relaxing your feet and legs.
Pat dry gently and moisturize afterward.
🛁 For foot-only soaks: Use a basin and repeat the process with smaller amounts.
⚠️ Safety Tips
Rule
Why It Matters
❗ Never use rosemary essential oil directly in bath
Too concentrated — can irritate skin; always dilute
❗ Avoid if pregnant or epileptic
Rosemary oil may stimulate uterine blood flow or trigger seizures in sensitive individuals
❗ Not for open wounds or infections
Can sting or delay healing
❗ Stop if redness, rash, or burning occurs
Possible allergic reaction
🚫 Do not rely on rosemary baths to treat serious conditions like diabetic neuropathy, gout, or rheumatoid arthritis — see a healthcare provider instead.

You don’t need a spa to find comfort.
But you do deserve moments that slow time — where warmth meets breath, and tension begins to melt.
So next time your feet scream for rest…
pause.
Draw the water.
Add the herbs.
Breathe in the pine-scented steam.
Because real healing isn’t loud.
It’s quiet.
And sometimes,
it starts with one foot — gently lowered into peace.
And that kind of care?
It doesn’t fix everything.
But it helps carry you forward.
