The Best Essential Oils For Beautiful Healthy Feet
The feet are the part of the body that gets tired the most. Wearing closed-toe shoes, walking a lot, suffering from arthritis problems or poor blood circulation makes us feel these discomforts in the feet, which we do not know how to relieve.
Sometimes even a hot shower is not enough to rest them.
The best way to take care of it and prevent problems like inflammation, cracks or poor blood circulation is to use essential oils.
We will therefore talk to you below about these natural allies for having pretty, healthy feet.

Finally, dry your feet and put on comfortable shoes. You will feel that your feet will be de-inflamed and relaxed.
3. Essential oils of almond and rosehip
It is without a doubt one of the best treatments for the health and beauty of the feet.
Almond essential oil and rosehip essential oil are also easy to find in natural beauty stores. They are also often inexpensive. They also serve for many uses of daily beauty (for hair , the face, l hands etc.).
These oils are therefore ideal for treating calluses and dry or inflamed skin. They are indeed very rich in vitamins, minerals and essential trace elements.
Ingredients
- 3 drops of rosehip essential oil
- 3 drops of almond essential oil

How to prepare it?
Take a hot and relaxing shower. Then dry your feet well, then sit down in a comfortable place.
Once more, soak the clean cloth well with the essential oil of almond and that of rosehip, by passing gently on each area of the foot, while allowing the absorption of these oils.
Do not forget to pass on the heels, where the cracks and dry skin appear. Also massage your toes so that all the joints are well impregnated, and thus promote blood circulation.
Then put on comfortable socks that don’t compress your ankles, and keep them on overnight so the oils continue to work.
If you do this treatment at least three times a week, you will have soft and pretty feet, perfect for summer, whether you wear sandals or flip flops.
