Long hours, overtime and the dreaded commute can leave you feeling tired and lethargic, with your legs and feet often suffering the most – but now help is at hand...
Comfeet foot soaks use herbal ingredients that have been tested and perfected for thousands of years by traditional Chinese practitioners in specific measures to create as powerful and healing mixture as possible. The range encompasses four different varieties, including one soak specifically for those of us who are feeling the strain this autumn and need an added boost; the Energy soak:
The Energy soak helps the body to detox and will specifically help those people who find themselves tired from walking and standing for long hours; as well as any pair of tired, drained feet.
The principles of Chinese medicine, that the foot soaks draws on, are about redressing the balance in our hectic lives – the cold weather and longer nights can hit us hard and leave us feeling washed out, which is our bodies’ way of telling us we’re out of sync. The Chinese believe that the feet are the second heart of the body and so taking care of them has wide reaching benefits for the entire body, both inside and outside.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, each organ in the body has an element of yin and yang within it and to stay fit and healthy you must balance the body’s yin and yang correctly. Some organs are predominantly yang in their functions, while others are yin, the balance must be maintained in the whole body and the sum total of yin and yang must remain as equal as possible for you to stay healthy. If a condition of prolonged excess or deficiency of either yin or yang occurs then illness results.
Three other soaks accompany the energy soak, each slightly different in formulation to specifically target different conditions. So don’t just prepare your feet, but your whole bodies as Winter approaches:
Beauty – Specifically aimed at your skin, the beauty soaks will leave the skin all over your body looking and feeling fantastic.
Deodorant – These soaks are actually aimed at your feet, helping improve the state of your skin, and reducing the number of bacteria down there to leave you feeling and smelling fresh.
Sports – In Chinese Medicine it is said that the kidneys are linked to energy production. These sachets specifically target the kidneys and therefore help energise the whole body. These are recommended to help soothe aching muscles in the feet and lower legs.
To use Comfeet Foot Soaks simply place one sachet into a bowl of hot water or foot spa and enjoy for 45 – 60 minutes. Now available online or in leading health stores. For more information visit
