[mishti]

Smelly feet maybe a problem for a lots of people (and quite embarassing one too ) any tips to handle this problem?

Herbal Deodorant Powder
2 parts powdered sandalwood (for fragrance and anti-microbal properties)
1 part powdered white oak bark (an astringent)
1 part powdered lovage root (for fragrance)
Pulverize herbs in a blender or food processor until they become a very fine powder. Transfer powder into a clean, dry iron skillet and very lightly pan-roast to set resins and scents. Fill muslin draw-string bags with the powdered herbs, or use handkerchiefs tied with a string or ribbon. Pat bags under your arms or on feet.

Tea Bath
Simmer two teabags in 500ml of water for 15 minutes and then dilute the tea with two litres of water. Soaking smelly feet daily for 30 minutes decreases odour because the tannic acid in black tea kills bacteria and closes the pores that release sweat.

Do not ever use any other socks except cotton. Soak your feet once a week for at least 30 mins in slightly hot tea, some lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Wipe dry and dust on some anti-bacterial powder found at pharmacy's. Try and keep feet exposed as much as possible. Before wearing shoes use some lemon juice mixed with equal parts of water with a pinch of salt.

Lol! That is very true! I would rather go to a pharmacy and buy it then make my own. However, at least if you make your own, you know whats going in it!

OOOOO!! I found a really easy one!! Anyone can do it!!!

Never wear shoes while your feet are wet. Always wipe them dry, paying special attention to the area between your toes. Also, sprinkle some talcum powder to deodorise them.
