How To Make Chamomile Foot Soak DIY
Dry, tired feet are no fun….not to mention not very pretty! One thing that perks them up is relaxing in a basin of Chamomile Foot Soak. After months of flip flops, I find my feet dry and cracked at the end of summer. The combination of chamomile, milk and epsom salt takes all that away in no time at all. The chamomile helps to relive puffiness and just the scent of it made me relax. I even brewed a cup for myself to sip and enjoy!
If I want to feel rejuvenated, I use my Peppermint Foot Soak.
Another thing this DIY is great for…gifts! This is the simplest DIY that can be made in less than 5 minutes and costs only pennies to make. Wouldn’t this be a great gift for mom or grandma??

How to Use Chamomile Foot Soak
What a nice way to end the day and soothe tired, rough feet.
Add approximately 1/2 cup of the Chamomile Foot Soak to a basin of warm water, tune out all distractions, and soak your feet for 20 minutes. You will feel refreshed and your feet will thank you! Dry feet thoroughly, then moisturize with your favorite lotion. Put on a pair of comfy socks and relax!
In combination with the Epsom salts, the chamomile also helps reduce swelling and relaxes the nerves for better sleep. I definitely need that!

I’m wondering, if someone has a milk allergy is there anything powdered milk can be substituted with? Thank you.
Erin says
Hummm, I have never tried it, but what about baking soda? It has softening properties so could work.
AC says
Thank you so much for the suggestion
Tamie Wyllie says
Because of the powdered milk, does this have to be refrigerated?
Is a lesser amount for each use just as effective? Say maybe 2 -4 tablespoons?
Erin says
Good questions, Tamie. Since it’s dry milk, it does not need to be refrigerated. I think a lesser amount would be fine. Maybe not quite as effective, but definitely doable. 🙂
