• ½ cup dried rosemary (or 1 cup fresh sprigs)
  • Cheesecloth, muslin bag, or clean sock (for bundling)
  • Warm (not hot) bathwater
  • Optional: Epsom salts (½–1 cup), lavender oil (5 drops)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Fill your tub with warm water (ideal temp: 98–104°F / 37–40°C).
  2. Bundle the rosemary in a cloth or tea ball — this keeps it contained and prevents slipping.
  3. Add to the running water so the heat releases the essential oils.
  4. (Optional) Add Epsom salts (rich in magnesium) and a few drops of lavender for extra relaxation.
  5. Soak for 15–20 minutes, breathing deeply and relaxing your feet and legs.
  6. Pat dry gently and moisturize afterward.

🛁 For foot-only soaks: Use a basin and repeat the process with smaller amounts.
