Product Description
The Ashiyu Ritual Kit brings Japan's evening foot bath home: 12 effervescent two-layer pods (20g each) — an indigo bloom that opens the ritual, a chamomile botanical core that closes it. In the box: 12 pods, the 7-Day Reset guide, and a reusable linen pouch.
How to Use
1 · Fill any basin with warm water — comfortably hot, 100–104°F.
2 · Drop in one pod, feet in, 15 minutes.
3 · Dry off and wind down.
Works whenever your day ends — evening or after a shift, in a comfortably warm room. Any basin that fits your feet works.
Why Ashiyu Works
Warm water opens the blood vessels in your feet. Heat leaves your core, and a falling core temperature is the natural signal your brain reads as "time to sleep" — the Thermal Downshift™.
"Warm feet promote the rapid onset of sleep" — Nature, 1999. A 2025 meta-analysis measured 36% faster sleep onset with warm-water soaks before bed.
Ingredients & Benefits
An effervescent base of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, chamomile botanicals, and a skin-safe, fully water-soluble indigo that dissolves completely — no staining on skin, towels or basin. Full ingredient list on every box.

THE THERMAL DOWNSHIFT™
It's not a bath bomb. It's a sleep signal.
Bath bombs are built for fun — color, fizz, fragrance. The Evening Pod™ is built around something else entirely: the natural signal your body uses to fall asleep. That's why it comes in two layers.
The indigo layer — warmth in
Dissolves first, blooming through the hot water. As the warmth opens the blood vessels in your feet, your body starts releasing heat from its core — the first step of the downshift.
The botanical core — signal out
Releases as the water settles, scenting the final minutes with chamomile. Meanwhile your core temperature drifts down — the cue your brain reads as: the day is over.
BUILT ON THERMOREGULATION SCIENCE · NATURE, 1999
WHAT TO EXPECT
The first 12 evenings.
NIGHT 1
The ritual
Fill the basin, drop the pod, watch the indigo bloom. Fifteen minutes with your feet in warm water — shoulders down, phone away. The warmth sends the signal now; your core keeps cooling as you wind down, and that's when sleep comes.
WEEK 1
The signal
Your body starts to associate the warm water with the end of the day. The soak becomes a boundary — on one side the noise, on the other your evening. Works whenever your day ends — evening or after a shift, in a comfortably warm room.
WEEK 2
The habit
Twelve pods, twelve evenings. By the last one, the ritual isn't something you do — it's when your evening begins. That's the moment most people order their second kit.
ONE POD. ONE BASIN. ONE BOUNDARY.
Watch the day dissolve.

What's in the ritual kit
- 12 Evening Pods™Two layers, one sequence: the indigo bloom opens the water while the botanical core scents the final minutes. One pod, one evening — twelve nights of the same quiet signal.
- The 7-Day Reset GuideYour first week, mapped night by night — water temperature, timing, and what to notice as the ritual starts doing its work.
- Linen Storage PouchFor the pods that wait their turn. Made to sit on a shelf, not hide in a drawer.
WHAT'S IN THE WATER
Botanicals, minerals, and nothing you need to worry about.
Japanese Indigo
The bloom that unfurls through water. Indigo is fully water-soluble and skin-safe — it dissolves completely, never stains.
Chamomile Petals
Released from the pod's core as it softens. Chamomile is known for its calming scent — the breath-slowing part of the ritual.
Mineral Blend
Transforms water into a soft, milky onsen-white. These minerals echo the warmth of a Japanese hot spring — without leaving your basin.
Evening Aromatherapy
Lavender and chamomile together — a pairing known to ease the transition into rest. Scent is half the ritual.

RITUAL ANSWERS
Questions about the ritual
Everything you need to know about Ashiyu.
Any basin that fits your feet works. A washing-up bowl works. (Our foldable Ashiyu basin is coming soon.)
No. The indigo bloom is a skin-safe, fully water-soluble color that dilutes completely. Nothing stains.
Comfortably hot — like a bath you'd sink into. Around 100-104°F. The warmth is the point: it's what starts the downshift.
Most women settle into 4-5 nights a week. The 7-Day Reset guide in your kit maps the first week.
Faster, no tub needed, nothing to wash your hair after — and the warm-feet mechanism is the same one a full bath uses, concentrated where it matters.
It's warm water and cosmetic-grade botanicals. If you're pregnant or have diabetes or circulation issues, check with your doctor first — as with any warm-water soak.
Delivery takes 5-8 business days, free, anywhere in the US. At checkout you can add Insured Shipping ($2.99): if your package is lost or damaged, we send a free replacement — no questions asked.
