All you need are 1 dozen or so smooth stones.  You can find them at your local nursery, even Walmart has them in the craft and candle section.

A large, shallow bowl ~ big enough for both the stones and your feet.

Very warm water and 2 drops each of Lavender and Cypress (flower petals optional, but nice!)

Now, roll the soles of your feet slowly over the pebbles for a few minutes.  Bliss!

When you consider the science of Reflexology, a simple remedy such as the stone foot massage will not only relieve swelling, it will benefit many other areas of your body as well ~ don’t you just love DIY, multi-tasking beauty treatments?
