How I Prepared the Soak
Getting ready was simple. I filled a basin large enough for both feet with warm water, then mixed in apple cider vinegar at a 1:2 ratio (one part vinegar, two parts water). I stirred it well and set a towel nearby to dry off afterward. The smell was strong and tangy—classic vinegar—but not unbearable.
The Soak Itself
Sliding my feet into the mixture, I instantly felt the warmth relax me. A faint tingling started soon after, which I assumed came from the vinegar’s acidity. It wasn’t painful—more like a gentle reminder that something was working. I set a timer for 15 minutes, sat back, and even gave my feet a light massage as they soaked.
