Put 1 gallon of water into a large pot.
Put 1 cup of dried herbs into the pot.
Bring the water and herbs into a boil.
Turn off the heat and let the herbs infuse for 1 hour with the lid on the pot. Now, you have a very big pot of tea!
Leave the herbs in the water for the herbal foot bath or strain them out.
Reheat to the perfect temperature just before using.
Pour the strained or unstrained tea into a foot basin. I like to leave the herbs in; they continue to infuse into the water and I enjoy their color and texture.
Soak your feet for 10 minutes or for so long as you like. Sometimes, I even fall asleep like this.
It isn't much of mess to clean up after an herbal foot soak. When you are finished, just pour the water and herbs into a garden bed outside.
