Cleaning the feet?

[ihpbcadf]

Always the way! But these are definatley a good investment. I use them on everyone, even my mum who hates having her feet touched because she is so ticklish and she likes it. My friend has used them on me and I found it so relaxing. A very good start to a treatment!

We also use antibac foot wipes at college,(Sweet Feet, available on a few websites, but quite expensive I think)but I think an important point is how they are used. To me it doesn't feel impersonal, as we first lay them across the dorsal foot, lay our palms over them, and cleanse the feet using an effleurage movement with the wipes. It just feels like part of the relaxation routine. Then discretely put in bin without appearing to examine the wipestoo closely!! Apply medium, and you are off! It all feels lovely,

I use plain unscented antiseptic wipes. Baby wipes will do too. (As they are for use on babies bottoms,then they should OK on anyone, anywhere!)
When you start using fragranced ones, you risk an allergic reaction by you customers and also as a therapist, you may aquire a sensitivity to the odour. I had a really bad time with peppermint (I am an aromatherapist as well) it gave me palpitations and I had to stop using it for a few months.
Being right under your nose, it is the therapist who is exposed the most.
Also beware 'unfragranced' on the label may mean the odour has been blocked but the chemicals are still present.

hey!! we used baby wipes in collage, but now when i'm working i use dampened heated face towels to clean the feet first and then an antibacterial spray afterwards. i soaks into the feet quite quick also! will try some of the ideas on the thread though, i'm still trying to get my own routine sorted as i only recently qualified!

Hi

Cleaning the feet with the mitts first sounds lovely

With the tea tree oil, do you use the neat or diluted one and how many drops do you use?

Thanks
