There is nothing worse than not being comfortable walking when you live in a beautiful state such as ours. Our Good Life team loves to roam the mountains on our days off and we love the outdoors lifestyle. However, a long day of hiking can be rough on the feet, and we’ve found an amazing solution to the challenges that effect our feet: Tibetan Foot Soaks.
Foot soaks have been used in Tibet to treat royalty for thousands of years. In hospitals in Kangding, Tibet we watched doctors prescribe them as the first line of defense for any malady from Diabetes to Neuropathy, and when you soak in Tibet the patient is immersed in a full-body bath of herbs! This ancient treatment has been handed down for generations because its effective, its inexpensive and its quite enjoyable. We tried it and it was amazing!
So that is why we have decided to offer Royal Tibetan Foot Soaks at our clinic in Longmont. The herbs used in the soaks are some of the most powerful available in the world; they are wild-crafted in the foothills of the Himalayas. This means that all the strength and vitality that the plant requires to grow at 13,500 feet is channeled into the herb’s leaves or flowers. And these strengths are available to our clients when they have a lovely foot soak because the volatile oils and terpines are released from the plant material and enter the feet.
There are so many ways to rejuvenate the body’s cardiovascular system, you could run 10 miles, you could eat your veggies, you can eat heart from another animal, but are any of those options relaxing and enjoyable? When the feet are gently immersed in the foot soak the skin’s natural absorbing abilities allow the herbs to enter the bloodstream and increase blood circulation. As the blood flow is increased oxygen is also allowed into the tissues and this acts like a roto-rooter for the arteries and veins.
Imagine a slow-globe when all the snow has settled in the bottom, that is exactly what happens to the feet over time; all the detritus in the body settles in the feet. With neuropathy the nerves are even damaged because of the lack of blood flow and the nerves begin to deteriorate as a result. The herbs in the foot soaks gently and enjoyably scour the dead tissue out of the feet and the increased blood flow brings that tissue into the blood stream where it can be recycled by the body. In addition, the herbs reinvigorate the arteries and veins, acting as if you had walked 10,000 steps.
So now you can see why royal families in Tibet have relied on foot soaks for thousands of years. And now that you know their secret you can enjoy the same care and benefit that they did right here in Longmont.
