Manicure and Pedicure with Natural Herbs
Due to a hectic schedule these days, people tend to get little time for them.
We often neglect taking out a few minutes to take rest and let the body relax. The whole day goes about running around many routine tasks and these routine works make us bound almost the entire day. At the end of the day, people usually think about caring of their face but rarely do anything to relieve the tension that builds up in our feet, as well as our hands which make us suffer a lot due to nonstop working at office or home. Pampering full body is necessary; hence don’t forget to pamper your hands and feet.
Some people think of manicures and pedicures as just an occasional way of pampering themselves but manicures and pedicures on a regular basis actually provide great benefits for your overall health and well being.
Regular Mani and Pedi also help in keeping the hands and feet looking young.

1. Herbal Manicure
Our hands are one of the most expensive features being blessed by God. It is important to maintain the hygiene of our hands as many activities like eating, writing etc are performed by our hands only. Sometimes it also acts as a healing tool through which various actions are performed by mankind. Due to a stressful and hectic life, we often neglect to take care of our hands and make them look beautiful & healthy. We often give or spare time for our face & hair care regimen, then why do we neglect to pamper our hands?
The word manicure is obtained from the Latin word ‘manus’ for hand and “cura” for care.
Manicure is an herbal treatment for hands and fingernails. Treatment is done to increase the glow and texture of the skin of the hands and to increase the smoothness & shine of the nails.
Method of Doing Manicure
The steps include the cleaning process initially to remove the accumulations of dead skin cells & impurities on the hand surface and the fingernails. Then the soaking process is done in medicated herbal decoction, which has an anti-microbial action. This also loosens and removes the dirt from the surface and the warmth increases the blood circulation. This is followed by the external oleation of the hand to combat dryness of the hands and the fingernails. Then scrubbing is done with the help of a herbal scrub. Due to this process, the dry and dead skin is peeled out and gives a good glow to the hands. Herbal massage is done on the hands using herbal moisturizer.

2. Herbal Pedicure
Our feet are considered to be a major part of our body as they carry the whole of our body weight. So a certain amount of pressure is always maintained on our feet. Many people tend to suffer from dryness, cracks on the heel etc and often it becomes a neglected part until the condition gets deteriorated, hence foot care is an important feature to maintain the health and beauty of the feet for a longer period of time.
Method of Doing Pedicure

Then the soaking process is done in a herbal decoction, same likewise mentioned in manicure method because the medicated decoction has an anti-microbial action.

This is then followed by external oleation of the legs to tackle the dryness of the legs and the toenails. Further on exfoliation is done with the help of a herbal scrub. Due to this process, the dry and dead skin is shed off giving a scintillating texture to the legs and feet. Foot massage is done on the legs using an herbal cream.
