MD Podiatrist Recommends Epsom Salt Foot Baths

The logic makes sense: When the water and soap travel the path down to your feet, that’s the equivalent of cleaning them, right? Not quite. “The feet are a commonly missed body part because they are so far out of our general radar when bathing,” says Dan Michaels, DPM. So, it is important to take that extra step to wash your feet in the shower.
  
If you want your feet to be squeaky clean, Dr. Michaels says, “Foot baths with Epsom salts are a great way to do this, if you have time.” You can make a simple foot bath by adding a half cup of Epsom salt to a gallon of lukewarm water. Soak your feet for about 15 minutes and dry your feet thoroughly.
