DIY Foot Baths For Sore Feet

A warm bath to soak your feet in is sure to give you some degree of pain relief. However, don't be discouraged if you don't have a specialized foot bath, as you can use any big bowl or container. Make sure to keep the water warm but not too hot (test them before you put your feet inside). Additionally, you might want to prepare some clean towels to keep any splashes off your floor or carpet.

That being said, here are some great DIY foot baths for different situations.
