3. Autumn Transition Care Methods

Feet need assistance adjusting to the new season when tempers start to drop and humidity levels shift. Starting your autumn foot care regimen with a warm oil massage with seasonally relevant essential oils such as cinnamon or ginger helps circulation. Use kneading techniques emphasizing the whole foot, especially in the metatarsal area where pressure often results from more walking or trekking activity. Add joint mobility exercises whereby each toe and the ankle are softly turned in circular motions. This keeps some flexibility when the temperature drops. Work on the pressure points along the inner arch to keep balance during the seasonal change and boost energy flow. Finish with a nouraging foot mask including honey and pumpkin enzymes to maintain skin's flexibility and shield against the approaching winter.
