How to Make Your Own Vinegar Bath Soak

Vinegar bath soaks are popular for many different reasons. Many people use vinegar soak treatments to help bring their skins pH level back to its natural level. An imbalanced pH level is a common cause for things like foot order, or even vaginal yeast infections. Vinegar baths also help with irritated skin, sun damaged skin, and muscle pain, amongst other things.

Things You'll Need

• 1 Cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons of Dried Juniper Berries
• 2 Tablespoons of Dried Lavender

Instructions

1. Pour the vinegar into a small pot (use a pot that has a lid for it), and bring the vinegar to a boil. Once the bubbles begin to release from the bottom of the pot, and spread across the top of the vinegar, remove the pot from the heat.

2. Pour the dried juniper berries and dried lavender into the vinegar, and use a small wooden spoon or spatula to push the lavender (and possibly the juniper berries) into the vinegar. You don't want them to just float across the top of the vinegar.

3. Allow the mixture to steep for about 20 minutes. When the 20 minutes is up, strain the vinegar into a glass.

4. When running the water for your bath, use warm (not hot) water. As the water is running, pour the vinegar mixture under the running water.

5. Soak in the vinegar bath for 30-45 minutes. If the water cools down too much for your liking, just run some warm water to warm the water up as necessary.
