Tips I Have Learned About Foot Soaks
Over the years, I have done so many foot soaks. I have even got my children enjoying this practice. The first thing I was surprised to learn in my Foot Care textbook was that foot soaks should only be 10-15mins maximum. For Diabetics, even less, a maximum of 5 minutes!
