To prepare for the foot soak, I gathered a few essential items: a basin large enough to comfortably fit both feet, warm water, and a bottle of organic apple cider vinegar with the ‘mother.’ I filled the basin with enough warm water to cover my feet and added about one cup of ACV. It’s important to ensure the water is not too hot, as this can cause discomfort or burns. I also had a towel nearby for drying my feet afterwards.
The Soaking Process: What to Expect
As I immersed my feet into the ACV solution, I noticed a faint vinegar smell, which was not overpowering but definitely present. The warm water was soothing, and the vinegar added a slight tingling sensation. I set a timer for 15 minutes, allowing myself to relax and enjoy the experience. During the soak, I occasionally moved my feet around to ensure they were fully exposed to the solution.
