Heal Your Cracked or Dry Feet with a Simple Method that Really Works

Mild to moderate cracking of the skin on the bottom of the foot, especially around the heel areas, and the lateral (outside) areas of the foot, is quite common. It can be caused by going barefoot or wearing sandals excessively, and lack of proper foot care. Severe cracking is sometimes caused by medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, or circulatory problems. Moderate to severe cracks can be a real heath issue, causing infection and pain. I have seen amazingly deep cracks with dirt imbedded very far down. It is unhealthy and fairly easy to remedy.

Whether you have mildly dry feet, or severe, chronic cracks, there is a method that I have devised that will significantly improve, if not completely heal your compromised skin. It is tried and true; I have been advising my clients of this method for nearly eight years, with fantastic results.

Foot Therapy for Cracked Feet

Items you will need:

*a large basin, foot spa, or other vessel that is large enough to completely immerse both of your feet.

*a good quality pumice stone. I have found the synthetic ones are great. Avoid cheap ones that crumble, or ones that have little texture-they are worthless.

*Heel Balm by Flexitol. It is important to use this specific product, and central to the effectiveness of the therapy. It can be found at Walgreens and other drugstores, in the foot care section.

*socks

Directions:

45 minutes before going to bed, fill your foot spa with the hottest water you can tolerate without discomfort. Soak both your feet in the water and relax for 30 minutes. You can add Epsom salts, essential oils, or whatever you like to enhance the foot bath, but it is not necessary. Plain water is very effective. Remove your feet from the bath, and dry them well before walking.
