Recently I read a book by William L. Fischer called Hidden Secrets of Super Perfect Health at Any Age, Book II, 1986. In chapter 10, The F-M Circulizer System, Fischer discusses the use of an herbal footbath. After reading this chapter, I realized how herbs in a footbath could improve your health.
Its a simple but powerful concept, yet this is the first time I have read about this idea. This book was written in 1986 and Fischer claims this herbal footbath has been in use overseas since 1946!
If you already have foot spa, youre in for a treat. If you dont, with $20 or $30 you can get one.
When you use a heated footbath, veins in your feet start to expand. Over a period of 15-20 minute, the warm water affects your entire vascular system and you get improved blood circulation.
By adding herbs to hot water, minerals from the herbs enter the soles of your feet and into your blood stream. This means that you can introduce herbal chemicals into your blood stream using the footbath. During your footbath, these herbal chemical quickly circulated throughout your body and get used where there is a deficiency.
Start by using herbs that are high in minerals and this will give you improved health. Because most people are deficient in alkaline minerals and have an acid body, adding minerals to your body is a definite plus.
