Caring for yourself - both physically and emotionally - is a must, especially during pregnancy! One of the body parts most affected by pregnancy is the feet. Remember to take care of your feet, so they can carry you joyfully through each and every day.
During pregnancy the extra fluid in the body, along with the pressure from the growing baby, can cause pain and swelling (known as edema) in the ankles and feet. Sometimes as early as the first month into pregnancy!
Swelling tends to worsen as your due date draws near, and particularly at the end of the day, and during hotter weather. Proper attention to your feet can help you stay active and be more comfortable. Using a quality foot scrub can help!
Our Foot Scrub + Soak is crafted of natural ingredients deemed safe for use during, and specifically chosen with pregnancy feet in mind!
ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS
Epsom Salts: A naturally-occuring mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate, espom salts help slough off dead skin, alleviate reduce inflammation, and replenish magnesium levels to help ease cramping and muscle pain. Good magnesium levels are imperative for a healthy pregnancy. Espom salts are a great source of magnesium and may help alleviate water retention and gestational hypertension.
Tamanu Oil: Rich in fatty acids, tamanu oil has stimulating properties to aid drainage and circulation, while its healing properties encourage new, healthy skin cell regrowth and elasticity. The light green color of tamanu beautifully colors this scrub, naturally.
Calendula Oil: Antifungal and antimicrobial properties help prevent infection and heal skin tissue. Calendula is also known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant components to ease muscle fatigue.
This scrub is complemented with a blissful aroma blend of cypress, grapefruit and frankincense pure essential oils to soothe swollen ankles, reduce fatigue, and promote relaxation and a good night's sleep.

Take a spoonful of mixture and gently massage on your feet, top and bottom. (Better yet, have your partner do it!) Rinse feet. Massage any remaining oil into skin. Pat feet dry with clean towel. Put on clean socks.
Use as a foot soak, too! Add 1-2 tablespoons of mixture to foot basin filled with room temperature water. Soak feet 10-15 minutes to help reduce swelling and ease achy feet.
