Relaxing Your Limbs the Salty Way

A bucket or two (the size & shape of this one from Amazon works well when two are lined up vertically alongside one another) & some Epsom Salt. That's what sometimes is needed. That & a few cups of hot water. A comfy seat or chair, & maybe a good book, a favorite in-your-lap hobby such as crocheting, knitting, embroidery, or, well, the listing is quite extensive. 😂

This could be indoors, or outdoors; maybe a dose of good conversation would be best with it. Just take off your shoes (& socks if you've got them on too) & gently lower (especially if the water is really hot) your feet into those buckets (if you're using one for each foot), or bucket (if your bucket is large enough to host both of your feet together).

Stay with your feet like this for a bit of time, maybe until the water cools. This is a great activity if you've just been out for a run & the underside of your feet are sore, or you've developed callouses, as soaking your feet in this way will soften callouses making it possible to destroy & remove them. If you're into adding pleasant smells while soaking, try this product from Amazon.

Your limbs are left feeling relaxed. Soaking limbs is great in general; if you've been out for a run or weight workout beforehand, stretching your muscles in tandem with this soak will enhance the effects.
