Don’t Suffer With Sore Feet! Step Into a Reflexology Treatment Instead

Top 5 Essential Oils That Can Be Put On The Feet

When a client comes for a Reflexology treatment, we talk about what is going on in their body. One of my suggestions is to use Essential Oil on the bottom of their feet. It is readily absorbed and goes to the part of the body needing assistance.
