7 Home Remedies for Stinky Feet

We bring you seven home remedies for stinky feet, suggested by different people who read our blog:
1) Try alum powder, put lotion on your feet(to keep the powder on your foot), then the powder, put socks on. Do this at night while you sleep, it just seems easier. This will sort of dry up your feet, so they don't sweat so much, your feet will not produce the odors that are so embarrasing and just plain stinky! Repeat for about a week and as needed. It works!

2) Use a Teaspoon of Baking Soda in each shoe before putting them on
3) Use a few Lemon Tea bags, seep in almost boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Add tea to a small foot bath with some cool water to reach a good temp. Soak feet for 15 minutes and rinse. Tea Tree Oil can also help prevent foot smells. I use these as part of my boyfriends pedicures.
4) Soak feet in water mixed with a little bleach.
5) Soak feet in bath of 1 cup vinegar, 1 dash dish soap, lots of warm water for 10 mins. Pat dry. Refill tub or bowl with warm water and oatmeal, squeeze oats till water is milky...soak another 10 or so. Pat dry..fresh as a daisy! Lasts several days too!

Give Stinky Feet the Boot

Face the smelly truth: No matter how finely pedicured, your feet sweat -- as much as a gallon of moisture each week. Don't fret; just follow these tips: 1.Scrub your tootsies daily with a washcloth and antibacterial soap, and dry them thoroughly with a clean towel. Afterward, sprinkle on an odor-preventing foot powder; its mild astringency will help stifle sweat. 2.Clean socks are your best defense. Pure cotton socks are better than wool or those made with fibers that don't breathe. Even better, try a pair made of the new synthetic fibers specially designed to wick away moisture. Check the label for that claim. 3.Take a hiatus from your favorite footwear. A 24-hour break should starve the foul critters who call your clodhoppers home. 4.Apply pit logic. A quick spritz or light coat of antiperspirant every morning will help inhibit sweat. Yes, even on your feet. 5.Relax before bed with a nice cup...er, tub of tea. Tea's tannins...

By Dr Pranjal Shamsher Foot catches the attention first. Feet are the most active part of our body, even more than our hands. Attention to foot education and care is especially important as people age. The foot is a complex area consisting of twenty-six bones, thirty-three joints, and several ligaments, muscles, veins, arteries, and nerves. As a primary weight-bearing structure the foot is subject to more deforming forces than any other part of the body.

Treatment for Smelly Feet

Persistent foot odor can indicate a low-grade infection or a severe case of hereditary sweating. In these cases, your doctor may prescribe a special ointment. You apply it to the feet at bedtime and then wrap your feet with an impermeable covering such as kitchen plastic wrap. Soaking your feet in strong black tea for 30 minutes a day for a week can help. The tannic acid in the tea kills the bacteria and closes the pores, keeping your feet dry longer. Use two tea bags per pint of water. Boil for 15 minutes, then add two quarts of cool water. Soak your feet in the cool solution. Alternately, you can soak your feet in a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water. A form of electrolysis called iontophoresis also can reduce excessive sweating of the feet, but requires special equipment and training to administer. In the most severe cases of hyperhidrosis, a surgeon can cut the nerve that controls sweating. Recent advances in technology have made this surgery much safer, but you may n...
