There
are many sweet smelling natural remedies to help relieve
common foot problems leading to healthy and refreshed
feet. The next time you are giving your feet some
attention, try one of these foot refreshers with fragrance
designed for ladies.
Odor
Foot
sweat and odor can be treated in a variety of ways to
leave you with fresh feet.
Foot
Soaks
Try a
chamomile foot bath for an easy solution to foot sweat.
When you get home from work, make a strong chamomile tea
with about 12 cups of water and ½ cup to a cup of
chamomile. Let the tea boil until it is reduced by several
cups, and put the warm water in two plastic containers.
Soak both feet in the tea for 15 to 20 minutes. You can
make any kind of herbal foot bath with the same recipe
only using herbs like lavender, rose and sage instead of
the chamomile, or in combination with it.
Foot
Powder
Make
your own fragranced foot powder by adding 10 drops of your
favorite scented oil to talc or baby powder. Try lavender
oil for a light floral smell, or use orange or lemon oil
for citrus scented talc and feet.
Massage
Get a
foot massage with scented massage oil to stimulate and
relax your feet while increasing the circulation and
aiding foot odor with a light scent.
Scrubs
Combine
natural oils like almond, olive and grape seed oil with
coarse sea salt or sugar for an exfoliating foot scrub
that will slough off dead skin and help your feet feel
soft, moisturized and sweet enough to eat. Add a few drops
of your favorite scented oil to enhance the fragrance. Use
¼ to ½ cup of oil to each cup of sugar or salt.
Corns
Corns
are hard thick layers of skin on the top or side of the
toe caused by wear and tear on our feet caused by shoes
that don`t fit correctly and too much standing and
walking.
Fruit
To help
soften the corns so that the skin can be removed, use a
natural solution. Papaya juice and pulp is effective in
softening and healing corns. Mash a fresh papaya, and
bandage some of the fruit to your corn. Allow it to stay
on the corn for as long as possible, and repeat to see
results. A lemon peel can also be used attached to the
corn to reduce its size and make it soft for removal.
Tea
Bags
Used
tea bags can also be affixed to painful corns for relief
and removal. Relax with a cool tea bag taped to your toes
before bed, or during a nap.
Fungus
To
fight foot fungus that forms around the toes like
athlete`s foot or a mild toenail infection use honey.
Cover the affected area with a liberal amount of raw honey
and cover with a bandage or a sock. Leave it on overnight
and the antifungal properties of the honey will help kill
the fungus and itching associated with it after several
days of treatment.
