This is how the ascending foot bath works according to Kneipp:
A good time for the ascending foot bath is before going to bed. Mix 1 tbsp of bath salt protective blend in a special foot bath or bucket with warm water (about 33 degrees). In any case, the ankles should be covered with water, the more leg that is also covered, the better. Submerge both legs in the foot tub in the water. Keep adding hot water (be careful not to burn your legs) so that the water reaches a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius. Carry out the foot bath for about 20 minutes and then dry your feet well and rub them with body oil or organic care oil. Now enjoy the rest while lying down and relax with your legs elevated.

Power Shower
Add up to 40 drops of Protection Mixture Power Concentrate to 200 ml of neutral shower balm. Breathe consciously while showering and mentally mobilize your own defenses. Ideal to combine with contrast showers or other Kneipp treatments.
