This homemade foot rub is designed to soothe tired, aching feet after a long day.

Directions
-
In a small saucepan, combine the distilled water and borax. Heat gently until the mixture is almost boiling, stirring occasionally to dissolve the borax completely.
-
In a separate heat-safe container, combine the fractionated coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, wheat germ oil, and grated beeswax.
-
Heat the oil mixture gently, either in a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, until the beeswax is fully melted and the oils are combined.
-
Slowly pour the warm borax/water solution into the melted oil mixture while whisking briskly. Use a hand blender or a small wire whisk to emulsify the mixture thoroughly.
-
Add the lecithin and continue whisking to ensure it is fully incorporated.
-
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. This is crucial before adding the aloe vera gel to prevent separation.
-
Once cooled, stir in the aloe vera gel and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
-
Add the eucalyptus essential oil (and any additional scent if desired) and stir gently to combine.
-
Transfer the finished foot rub into a clean bottle or jar for storage.
