DIY Foot Scrub With Himalayan Pink Salts

I created this Himalayan Pink Salt DIY Foot Scrub & Soak Recipe to remove all those nasty dead and hard skins and have baby smooth feet… This is also a great detox DIY foot scrub recipe!

Did you know that Chinese medicine believes that feet are like a “mirror” of the entire body? The body tends to push excess toxins towards the foot because it is the furthest away from the vital organs.

If your feet are unclean, the detoxification process is much more difficult and the toxins may stay inside your body instead of going away.

Himalayan Pink Salt has a rich mineral content that includes over 84 minerals including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron… This salt has a beautiful pink colour and is well known for its therapeutic properties.

Cooking with Himalayan Pink Salt in moderate amounts provides essential minerals, balances electrolytes, supports proper nutrient absorption, eliminates toxins, balances the body’s pH.

You could also use sea salt for this recipe which also contains plenty of goodies like magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc and iodine.

  • Your recipe sounds great and easy to do. How long will this keep? Can you add vegetable glycerin or grapefruit seed extract to act as a preservative to the recipe? Is so, what quantity? Are you able to use just peppermint EO to keep it simple? Thanks

    • Hi Des, you don't need any preservatives here as there is no water, plus salt is a natural preservative! And yes you can use essential oil. It will keep 6 months.

  • I really love the glass jar this is in. Could you please share where you bought the jar from?? Thanks :)

  • This is such a wonderful , quick and easy recipe. Thank you so much ! And the timing was perfect as I had my feet in the mud at a festival this weekend. Namaste
