When:

You can massage your feet in bed as you awaken,

in the bath, while watching TV, or as you unwind for the evening.

Essential Oil:

Once in bed for the evening, dab peppermint essential oil

on the kidney points on the bottom of the feet.

This will stimulate the kidneys

and in turn helps prevent urination during the middle of the night
