Soaking your feet in lemon and apple cider vinegar is a great way to help your body. It acts like a natural magnet to pull out toxins and fatigue. This “sour and zesty” mix works well because the acid in the vinegar and lemon helps move your blood and stops the “heavy” and “swollen” feeling in your ankles. It is an easy and cheap way to fix cracked heels and keep your whole body feeling light and relaxed. It makes your skin feel soft and clean right away.
Instead of just washing your feet in the shower, this deep soak helps your circulation stay strong. Once you try it, you will be surprised at how much energy you have!
