Holidays (the cooking, the cleaning, the visiting, the shopping) can really do a number on you…and your poor feet! When your feet hurt and you’re tired, soak them in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes. Then (and this is the unusual part) massage your feet with about one-quarter cup of lemon juice, which is a natural anti-inflammatory that helps detoxify overworked muscles. Take your time and, while massaging, thank your feet for all they’ve done for you. After a thorough job of massaging your feet, rinse them with cool water. Dry them completely, then take five deep breaths. You and your pain-free feet should be able to settle down for a good night’s sleep.
