Applying an aromatic essential oil in the right place is sometimes just as important as choosing the right oil to achieve specific objectives and results.

That said, most oils are thought to be highly effective when applied to the soles of the feet.  This advise was also given to me by the Ayurvedic practitioner during my Panchakarma retreat.   During the intensive detoxification treatment, I was required to rub organic Brahmi Oil into the soles of my feet every night after a detox bath and right before falling asleep.

Epsom Salt Detox, Health and Beauty Benefits

During my week-long intensive Panchakarma detox treatment, I was instructed by the Ayurvedic practitioner to take daily baths in hot water and Epsom salt.

Panchakarma is an ancient Indian system of complete detoxification of chemical, environmental and other toxins from the blood, organs and muscles.  Harmful toxins are drawn out, released and eliminated through the skin, feces and urine utilizing a combination of diet, herbal preparations, tongue scraping, dry skin brushing, massage, meditation, yoga and stretching, walking, steam sauna, enemas and hot baths.
