Asian Beach Foot Treatment

When you walk along almost any beach in Thailand, the ones where the tourists hang out, you are bound to run into two things: Thai Massage under a hut on the beach and Thai practitioners excited about giving you a Thai Foot Reflexology preceded by a great foot cleaning.  Using beach sand is what is there, and a few practitioners incorporate it into their pre-Thai Foot Massage treatments.

Inspired by a walk on the beach, here is a simple Thai Beach Foot Treatment recipe.  All you need to add is some beach sand from your last trip to Tahiti or your soon-to-be vacation in Bora, Bora ……. well, if not, then just be creative with that part .. 🙂

3 tablespoons fine Beach Sand
3 teaspoons coconut oil
3-5 drops of sandalwood essential oil and/or
3-5 drops of peppermint essential oil

Mix all the ingredients together to make a paste and massage and scrub your or your client’s feet, gently exfoliating dead skin in the process.  Then, let the feet soak for a few minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.  The whole ritual is extra nice if you float a few flowers in the water and have your towels neatly folded and ready, along with an attractive foot soak bowl big enough for two feet.
