Home Remedies For Cracked Heels

Feet cracks known as heel fissures are not only painful but could indicate some serious health problem. In a diabetic patient, the body could lose its ability to produce oils, making the skin less supple and more susceptible to extreme dryness, so it is very essential to learn to take good care of your feet.

Home Remedies For Cracked Heels :

• A regular mixture of glycerin and rose water is responsible for soothing skin providing effective relief.

• Soak your feet for 15 minutes in Epsom Salts, which are full of magnesium that will help to draw out the dryness of our feet and heels.

• Apply an oil based moisturizer to your foot. Do not be stingy! You want a good thick layer of lotion.

• Make a pulp of a papaya or ripe banana. Mix it with honey and, ghee or bee wax and apply it on affected heel and leave it for 10 minutes. Rinse it carefully and dry well.

• Once you are done applying the cream, wear cotton socks while you sleep, so that the skin absorbs the moisture and the cracks of the heels heal faster.

• Try walking on the grass barefoot early every morning. This exercise rejuvenates the feet and improves the eyesight.

• Washing feet after a walk or after returning home helps keep the feet cleansed and healthy.

• Another way to heel cracked heels is melting paraffin wax and mixing it with a little coconut oil and applying this mixture on your heels before going to bed. Wash it off in the morning. This will also help in reducing the pain.

• Wear clean socks and shoes with no back to prevent fissures in winter.
