Introducing an ancient healing tradition that harnesses the power of the meridians that run through your feet.

 

Our Traditional Foot Soaks have quickly become the second most popular therapy at the Vermont Salt Cave Spa.  They are inspired by the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In this framework, the body can be thought of as a tree, where the head is the branch, the body is the trunk, & the feet are the roots. In order to maintain health, we must water our roots! Our feet contain 25% of the body’s bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, over 100 ligaments, 1000s of nerve endings, and 6 meridians through which vital energy (Qi) flows.

​

We offer two different foot soak treatments.  Each one contains over 6 different organic Chinese herbs long known to offer the desired healing benefits:

​

Slumber Soak -  For sleep issues, insomnia, restlessness, rest & relaxation

Aches Away Soak - Aches and Pains, joint and muscle issues

​​​

A Traditional Foot Soak session lasts for 45 minutes and involves first heating your feet and hands for 15 minutes on specially heated Himalayan Salt Stones.

​

Then you will be placing your feet in a warm foot bath for 30 minutes, stimulating the meridians in the feet to absorb and transfer the medicinal benefits of the healing herbs contained in the foot soak.

​

The cost for this therapy is $45.  The foot soaks are also available for sale in our retail space so you can take this therapy home.​
