Natural ways to take care of your feet.

Most of us take care of our face but the feet is the most ignored part of the body. In fact the legs bear the whole weight of the body. So we should include foot care in our daily routine. Here are some ways, we can take care of our feet naturally.

1.Soak feet in a large basin or bowl to which warm water and mineral salt is added for about 10 minutes. You can even place pebbles in the large bowl and roll your feet back and forth giving slight pressure as it gives a massaging effect. Scrub using pumice stone to remove dead skin. Wash your feet well, then pat it dry and massage with a moisturizing cream.

You can even add juice of one lemon and a few neem leaves to the water as neem has antiseptic qualities.
Rose petals can be added to the water.

You can even add 2 drops of lavender essential oil to the water to have a spa effect at home.

2.Natural remedy for treating cracked feet:

Wash your feet well and apply Vaseline or petroleum jelly at night and slip a pair of cotton socks and go to sleep. In a few weeks, your feet will become soft.

Olive oil can be applied regularly to have a soft feet.

Neem paste mixed with turmeric powder can be used to treat cracked feet, though it is very messy.

Hi Sundari,

Thanks dear for your tips. Before my marriage I used to take of my Feet that too due to my mom's advice but after my marriage, I kept being busy with house works and 3 kids. Also, being in a Cold country, my feet gets deep dry and I felt I have lost my soft feets in these 7 years. I do not have Olive oil / Almond oil with me. I have planned to buy them during my visit to India, Chennai this year in July after 5 years. Your tips for all the parts of our body are very useful Friend.

Thank you once again and get back to you after on my feedbacks.

With regards, Suni

Dear Sunkan Mam,

Thanks for all your tips. Can i add one more to your list? Try to wear a slipper (usually known as the bathroom slippers) at home. Its gud for cracked feet, to avoid dirtying the feet & mainly for the houses with carpet.

Hi Sunkan,

Thanks for giving these wonderful tips to take care of the feet.

If you don't mind, i would like to add a couple more things..

While taking a shower/bath we can use the pumice stone/heel & feet scraper. This smoothens the cracks and also removes the dirt in between the cracks on the heels.

It is good to apply a moisturizer as soon as finish taking bath/shower. This way the moisturizer is absorbed well by the skin and keeps it smooth and soft. This holds good even for people with normal or dry skin.

Cheers

latha it is only these days we have parlour and they sqeeze out our moolah to keep us clean, y not try the age old practise of just keeping a nice chapadi stone big square slab in ur home wherever it is comfortable and apply some shampoo or liquide soap over it and start holding ur leg at knee and rub over it all over until u have cleaned and smoothened at the same time so nothing to worry all the dead cells tend to protrude out, or sit down on a stool near the place where they wash clothes if it is reachable just scrub ur heels over it the same way mentioned and this brings in the scratch not needed when u put ur leg with others, but when u give this treat ment and then apply some cream they do wonders, i keep some almond cream whenever it roughans up i apply that to soothen it, and it remains so...hope u will let me know the effect
