What You’ll Need:
1–2 tsp natural oil (coconut, sesame, olive, or almond)

A towel (to protect sheets)
Step-by-Step:
Wash and dry your feet
Warm the oil slightly (in your hands or a bowl of warm water)
Massage into soles, heels, and between toes for 3–5 minutes
Put on clean cotton socks (optional — prevents oily sheets)
Relax and prepare for sleep
âś… Do it nightly for best results.
đźš« Who Should Be Cautious?
Avoid or modify this practice if you:

Are prone to fungal infections — keep feet dry and avoid trapping moisture
Use essential oils — always dilute and patch test
Have open sores or infections — wait until healed
đź©ş When in doubt, consult your healthcare provider.
