Home Remedies to Cure Cracked Heels

April 15, 2009


Dry and cracked heels are a cosmetic issue where the person suffering from this disorder has calluses on the soles of the feet. It is normally caused by lack of moisture in the skin and can lead to severe problems, including severe bleeding if not taken care of in the initial stages. Fortunately, there are a few extremely simple techniques that will give you relief.

Causes of cracked skin on your feet

Your lifestyle, diet and skin type play an important role in the condition of your feet. For those who are over weight there is extra pressure exerted on their feet and this can lead to cracking of the skin. People with dry skin are more prone to this condition. If your job requires you to stand for a longer period of time (lawyers in court, teachers and professors) then you are likely to suffer from cracked feet. It can also be a sign of age. In certain cases changes in medication or introduction of new medicines cause the syndrome.

Remedies to cure cracked feet

-Firstly you need to increase the intake of water. Drink several glasses of water daily and have fruit juices instead of colas, teas and coffee.

-Moisturize the skin of your feet well. Use a heavy moisturizer at night and wear socks to lock in the essential oils. Do not wet your feet often as the water will steal the natural oils from your skin. Use almond oil during the day as it will help to soften the skin on your feet instantly.

-Go for a pedicure regularly. You can also use a pumice stone every alternate day on your feet to get rid of the dead skin cells that make your feet look ugly.

-Do not wear open toed or open back shoes as they will expose your feet to mud, dust and increase the intensity of the dry skin.

-Use Aloe Vera gel or jiuce on your feet every night. Do this for a mnth and you will have soft skin on your feet that will be free of cuts, cracks and calluses.
