Home Based Remedy For Foot Odour
You take care of your feet by washing them regularly. You change
your smelly socks at least once a day. Your shoes are well kept.
But in spite of all this, your feet stink. Sometimes the
condition is so bad that simply by removing the shoes, people
around you know that you have smelly feet. The condition can be
embarrassing, especially in the public. By following some simple
tips, you can take care of your feet and avoid the problem of
smelly feet.
The common home remedies for foot odor are:
* Apply the area with tea: Using a soak made from tea bags and
applying it to the feet will eliminate the problem of smelly
feet. This is because the tannic acid from the tea tans the
skin. Take a couple of tea bags and boil them in the pint of
water for 15 minutes. Then remove the tea bags and pour the pint
of this strong, hot tea into the basin or a large pot and fill
it with two quarts of cool water. Soak your feet for 30 minutes
daily for seven or ten days and you will not experience the
problem any longer.
* Use acne remover: If the feet really stink very badly, you
suffer from toxic sock syndrome. In this case, you should look
at your soles. If they are whitish in colour with tiny pits, you
are suffering from the condition called pitted keratolysis. The
microorganism that causes this condition is the same one that
causes acne, you can use over-the-counter acne medication with
10 percent benzoyl peroxide.
* Go for an antiperspirant: There are special foot deodorants to
remedy the problem but they can be quite expensive. But you go
in for any underarm antiperspirant, which is a cheaper
alternative. Go for a roll-on that has aluminum chloride
hexahydrate as the active ingredient. Use it twice a day. But
avoid aerosols since all their smell is dissipated in the air.
