Feet when massaged lead to a feeling of revitalization throughout the entire body, and spirit. One can start a foot massage with some baby oil, a few towels, and a tray of warm water. Light an incense stick or candles next to you for better relief.

Soak your feet in warm water for about ten minutes. Dry the feet well when removed. Now simply place your hands gently around the feet for a few minutes. Apply some small amount of oil in your hands and rub the sole of the foot with your thumbs. Work your thumbs in a circular motion all the way from the heel to the base of the toes.

Then, make a fist with one of your hands. Press your knuckles into the sole of the foot repeatedly, working your way from the heel to the toes working with each toe using the thumb and forefinger, then give a slight tug to the toes. At the end gently press your fingers and run your fingers along the foot to provide a relaxing feeling. Repeat all of the above with the other foot.

After the massage, dry the feet thoroughly, and apply baby powder, and try to drink plenty of water over the next twenty-four hours.
