An Acne Herbal Hand and Footbath
In a book I read by William L. Fischer called Hidden Secrets of
Super Perfect Health at Any Age, Book II, 1986, I learn how to do
herbal footbaths.
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 skin and help you
eliminate acne.
This book was written in 1986 and Fischer claims herbal
footbaths have been in use overseas since 1946!
Now, you can do either a footbath or a hand bath. Once you
prepare a container with hot water you can put your feet or hands
into it and get the same results.
If you already have foot spa, thank your mother, sister, or
whoever bought it because you're in for a treat. If you don't, with
$20 or $30 you can get one just like I did.
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 (blood) system and you get improved blood
circulation.
By adding an herbal infusion into the hot water in the footbath,
minerals and other phytochemicals from the herbs enter the soles of
your feet and into your blood stream.
This means that you can introduce herbal phytochemicals into
your blood stream using the footbath. During your footbath, these
herbal chemicals quickly circulated throughout your body and get to
work neutralizing acid, killing bacteria, and improving your skin
circulation.
Here is an herbal combination you can use. This herbal
combination was taken and modified slightly from a book written by
Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D., called The Scientific Validation of Herbal
Medicine, 1986. Mowrey says,
"This (herbal) blend attacks external skin disorders from
within, purifying the blood, carrying away waste, reinforcing the
blood's ability to ward off infectious agents."
The herbal combination to use is,
* Dandelion root - purifies blood and improves liver
function
* Yellow dock root - purifies blood, helps liver, is
anti-bacterial
* Saraparilla root - has antibiotic action, promotes waste
elimination through urine and sweating
* Echinacea - increases immunity and promotes skin healing
* Licorice - protects the liver so that it can detoxify the
blood better
* Kelp - provide minerals and vitamins and binds heavy metal
that are bad for health
* Chaparral - is anti-microbial making effective against
acne.
* Fresh Garlic - cut up a few cubes of garlic and place them
into the hot water. Garlic is has antibacterial properties.
Buy one ounce of each herb and mix them.
Here's how to do the herbal hand or footbath,
* Place 2-3 tablespoons of herbal mix into 1 ½ cups of
water
* Boil the water with herbs - use only a glass, porcelain, or
stainless steel container
* After water starts to boil, pull the container off the
stove
* Let tea sit for 15-30 minutes. The longer the tea sits the
stronger the tea and its effects
* Prepare your foot spa with water
* Strain the tea to remove leaves and roots
* Poor tea and cut garlic into the foot spa
* Place your feet or hands in the hot water for 15 - 30
minutes.
Use the this footbath daily for 14-21 days in the morning for
getting rid of acne.
I have been using a foot spa for many different conditions for
my family and myself. I really like using the footbath. It is a
convenient way to by pass your digestive system and get more
nutrients into your body.
