After Marching - Rosemary Footbath
"Rosemary in bloom" - from Wikipedia
I love using Rosemary in cooking, especially with wild meat such as venison. However, I was blown away when I was reading how our Ancestors treated badly mistreated feet after days of marching - they used a ROSEMARY FOOTBATH.
The recipe for this is quite simple:
1 handful of rosemary (1/2 cup) 1 cup boiling water
Add rosemary to boiling water to make an infusion. Let sit for 25 minutes. Strain the rosemary out of the water, and add the strained water to a tub of lukewarm water. Soak feet for at least 15 minutes. Do this twice per week to alleviate sweaty feet and the resulting blisters. This also kills the bacteria that cause sweaty feet.
Let me know how this recipe works for you!
Many blessings,
