Benefits of a Peppermint Tea Foot Soak
Peppermint offers several aromatherapy benefits, including boosting energy and soothing tired muscles. Literally, there are very few body, health, and mind issues that it cannot help. It leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
In combination with the Epsom salts, the peppermint also helps relieve pain and relaxes the nerves.
