The feet is one of the parts that suffer the most from our body. To protect sensitive tissue from friction and pressure, hardnesses form.
The human foot is a miracle of engineering, designed to cope with a lot of wear and tear.
This is essential since the feet are the most used and abused parts of our body. Despite how well designed they are, we may have a problem related to this part of the body.
One of the most common problems that we can get to suffer are the so-called calluses. In today’s post, we teach you some home remedies to combat them. Take note!
Most adults have some type of foot problem. The most common problems of these are corns and calluses, areas of hardened skin that form to protect the sensitive tissue of the foot from friction and repeated pressure.
1. Cupboard Home Remedies
Baking soda
The baking soda is one of the best ways you have to treat corns and calluses, putting it with warm water to soak. This loosens the dead skin and aids healing.
Add three tablespoons of baking soda to a bowl of warm water and soak your feet. Or massage the corns with a paste of 3 parts baking soda and 1 part water.
Chamomile tea
Soaking feet in dilute chamomile tea can be calming and will temporarily change the pH of the skin to help dry sweaty feet.
Tea stains the feet, but this stain can be easily removed with soap and water.
Corn starch
Sprinkle cornstarch between your fingers to keep the area dry and protect the skin from breaking down. Moisture can make a callus or callus worse and can promote yeast infections.
The vinegar
Soak a cotton ball in vinegar and tape it to a callus or callus. Leave the cotton soaked in vinegar overnight. In the morning, rub the area with a pumice stone.
2. Drawer Home Remedies
Pumice
Powder and pumice stones are used to scrub pans and are very helpful in shedding dead skin. After soaking your foot in warm water for about 20 minutes, use a pumice stone to rub those corns and calluses.
3. Freezer Home Remedies
The ice
Hard corns can be particularly painful. If you come across a hard callus from the base, apply an ice pack to the area. This will help reduce the swelling and ease the pain a bit.
3. Home remedies from the fridge
Lemon juice
Mix a paste of 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 5 or 6 tablets of crushed aspirin. Apply the paste directly to your callus and wrap the foot in a plastic bag.
Hold your foot in this way for ten minutes, a time that will allow the acidity to soften your callus. Next, rub the callus with pumice.
We hope that you have found these remedies useful and that you put them into practice.
