Help your body and mind, from the feet up

Help your body and mind with a new range of foot soaks that do much more than simply help your feet feel good. The herbal soaks use traditional Chinese medicine to increase the wellbeing of your whole body. Comfeet foot soaks use a combination of herbal ingredients that have stood the test of time, been honed and perfected for 1000s of years, and tried and tested by hundreds of practitioners to create as powerful and healing mixture as possible.

The principles of Chinese medicine, that the foot soaks use, are about redressing the balance in our hectic lives – many of us live such busy and manic lives that we often get run down and ill; our bodies’ way of telling us we’re out of sync. The Chinese believe that the feet are the second heart and so taking care of them benefits the whole body, both inside and outside.

Each organ in the body is said to have an element of yin and yang within it and to stay fit and healthy you must balance the body’s yin and yang correctly. Some organs are predominantly yang in their functions, while others are yin, the balance must be maintained in the whole body and the sum total of yin and yang must remain as equal as possible for you to stay healthy. If a condition of prolonged excess or deficiency of either yin or yang occurs then disease results.

The foot soaks also utilise the concept that there are meridians (energy channels) throughout the body and that energy or ‘Ch’i’ needs to flow correctly through these in order for the body to function effectively. TCM Practitioners use ‘points’ on the feet which are linked to almost every part of the body, and therefore through the feet you can help treat the whole being. Blockages in the flow of Ch’i can lead to illness and the flow of Ch’i can be disrupted by direct damage to the meridians it flows through - such as trauma, or an internal imbalance of yin and yang within the body.

By working to aid the balance of yin and yang and help the flow of Ch’i through the meridian lines, some of which end in the feet, the Comfeet Range of foot soaks do much more than aid your feet. The powerful combination of herbs which they contain are taken up through the skin, and aid different parts of the body to help detoxification and recovery, leaving your whole body and mind feeling refreshed and with a great sense of wellbeing.

There are four different types of soak in the Comfeet range that each help the body in different ways. Try one a night for, preferably before bed, and really feel and see the difference – feeling good has never been so easy.

Beauty – Specifically aimed at your skin, the beauty soaks will leave the skin all over your body looking and feeling fantastic.

Energy – Give you an added energy boost by helping the body to detox; this soak helps those people who find themselves tired from walking and standing for long hours.

Deodorant – These soaks are actually aimed at your feet, helping improve the state of your skin, and reducing the number of bacteria down there to leave you feeling and smelling fresh.

Sports – In Chinese Medicine it is said that the kidneys are linking to energy production. These sachets specifically look to target the kidneys and therefore help energise the whole body. Recommended to help soothe the aching muscles of the feet and lower legs.

To use Comfeet Foot Soaks simply empty one sachet into a bowl of hot water or foot spa and enjoy for 45 – 60 minutes. Available online or in leading health stores. For more information visit Comfeet.co.uk.
