How to Use a Footbath with Herbs
by Rudy Silva
Recently I read a book by William
L. Fischer called "Hidden
Secrets of Super
Perfect Health at Any Age", Book II, 1986. In chapter 10, The
F-M Circulizer
System, he discusses the use of an herbal footbath. After reading
this chapter,
I understood the importance of using herbs in a footbath to improve
your health.
It’s a simple concept yet this is the first time I have read
about this idea.This
book was written in 1986 and Fischer claims this herbal footbath
has been in
use overseas since 1946!

When you use a footbath and heat
the water, the veins in your feet start to
dilate. Over a period of 20-30 minute, the warm water affects your
entire
vascular system and you get an improved circulation of blood throughout
your
body.
By adding herbs to hot water, the
minerals from the herbs enter the soles of
your feet and move into you blood stream. What this means is that
you can
introduce into your blood stream a variety of herbal chemicals into
your body
using the footbath. During the your footbath, these herbal chemical
will be
quickly circulated throughout your body and get used where there
is a
deficiency.
The herbal footbath can result in
improved health provided you pick the herbs
that are beneficial to your health. You can start by adding herbs
that are high
in minerals. Most people are deficient in alkaline minerals and have
an acid
body. Adding minerals into your body is a definite plus.
Here’s how to prepare
and use an herbal footbath.
- Buy these four herbs that are high
in minerals -- alfalfa herb, parsley, horsetail
herb, kelp herb. Buy 1-2 oz of each. This might cost you $10.00 or
less
- Mix all 4 herbs
- Prepare an herbal infusion by boiling
2 - 3 cups of water. After boiling pull the
water off the hot plate. Add 2 tablespoons of the mixed herbs. Let
this mixture
sit for 20 minutes. The longer you let this mixture sit the stronger
the infusion
will be.
- After 20 minutes, start your footbath and press the heat button
- Strain the herbal infusion using a strainer and a cloth so that
no herbal
particles are included in the tea infusion
- Add the infusion into the footbath
- Place you feet into the footbath for 20-30 minutes.
Use the footbath every other day
for 30 days before going to bed. Then take a
7-day rest before you use another herbal mixture. If you want to
treat a specific
ailment, find the herbal mixture and use it in your footbath. Use
it every other
day for 30 days.
I have been using the footbath
with herbs rich in minerals for 3 weeks and here’s what I
noticed.
- Improved sleep
- Less pain in my shoulder joint
- More energy
- Eyes see clearer longer though out the day
- Warmer hands and feet
The footbath spa that I’m
using is the Homedics model JetSpaUltra. I like this
unit because it has a jet stream action and bubbling. It has a button
for heat
and a rotator to do manicuring. I don’t use the manicuring
but you might. My
daughter of 8 years likes play with these rotating items. And, it
is easy to fill
and clean.
