Turn the upper body to the right and then back to the middle, to the right again and back to the middle, a total of 18 times. Then do the same on the other side.

Function / Effect: The abdominal organs are intensively supplied with blood, fatty tissue is broken down, digestion is stimulated, blockages in the thoracic spine are released.

At-Home Treatment Footbath

In addition to using our Alkali Salts in a body bath, you can also use it in an alkaline foot bath. Our soles are rightly often referred to as the third kidney, as they have very many sweat glands. The effect of the alkaline foot bath can be assisted by rubbing off the feet and lower legs every 15 minutes with a peeling glove or a washcloth or brushing them off with a brush. For an alkaline foot bath, dissolve 1 scoop of the Susanne Kaufmann Alkali Salt in a foot bath and bathe for at least 30 minutes.
After gently filing your nails into shape, indulge your feet using the Foot Cream.
