SPA INDEX LAVENDER HAND AND FOOT WASH

Use this wash to relieve red and inflamed hands and feet.

1/2 cup dried Lavender Flowers
1/2 cup finely chopped Fresh Sage
2 cups of water
8 drops of Lavender Oil

In a saucepan, combine lavender flowers, sage and water. Simmer, covered, on low heat for 20 minutes. Strain mixture through cheesecloth and let cool. Discard the solids, retain the liquid. Add Lavender Oil, shake to emulsify, and then apply to hands and feet with a soft wash cloth or cotton pads. Repeat as necessary, or desired.  So refreshing in summer when your feet are hot, and in winter, when they've been cooped up in boots.
