Remedies for foot odor

Spring has arrived, and summer will follow. The hot summer makes many friends who have foot odor problems feel embarrassed and unbearable. For some friends, it’s okay as they only have smelly feet when the weather is hot, but for some friends, they have smelly feet all year round. Many people search for folk remedies for treating foot odor on the Internet. Today I will share with you some folk remedies for treating foot odor.

Athlete's foot is quite common in our lives. Regardless of gender, once the disease occurs, it will be accompanied by severe itching symptoms, redness and swelling between the toes, and in severe cases, peeling may occur. What's worse, it will affect your normal work and life. The most fatal thing is that it can be transmitted to people around you if you are not careful. Let's take a look at the following folk remedies for removing foot odor:

1. Putting tea leaves in your shoes can eliminate foot odor.

2. Tear the grapefruit peel into small pieces and put them into your shoes.

3. When washing your feet, add 10 to 15 ml of rice vinegar to the water, mix well, and soak your feet for about 15 minutes, once a day for three to four days, and the foot odor will disappear.

4. Put a small packet of quicklime (a desiccant commonly found in food) into your shoes.

5. Grind 15 grams of Pueraria root into fine powder, add 15 grams of white wine, and then add appropriate amount of water, boil it and wash your feet with it. Do this once a day for a week to remove foot odor caused by foot sweat.

6. Before going to bed every night, dip a cotton ball or cloth in a little alcohol and apply it evenly to the inside of the rubber and sneakers you just took off. Wait until they are dry before wearing them the next morning. After two weeks of doing this, your shoes will no longer smell.

7. Crush a few mothballs into powder, sprinkle it inside clean shoes, and then put an insole on them. This way, you will not have smelly feet when wearing them. Mothballs should not come into direct contact with the feet, and the mothballs inside only need to be replaced every other week. Camphor balls have a good antibacterial effect and can kill a large number of bacteria that multiply due to moisture, so there will be no odor.

8. For newly bought rubber shoes or sneakers, spray enough white wine evenly on the sponge bottom (until the sponge can no longer shrink). After it dries, there will be no odor when you wear it (if it is old rubber shoes or sneakers, wash them and treat them in the same way).

9. Wax gourd peel: Wax gourd peel has the effects of relieving heat, strengthening the spleen, and promoting dampness. It can be used to treat symptoms such as edema, abdominal distension, and difficulty urinating caused by kidney disease, lung disease, and heart disease. Washing your feet with a decoction of winter melon peel can cure both athlete's foot and foot odor, killing two birds with one stone.

Foot odor is not scary. Whether it is a folk remedy or a prescription, it can be cured as long as you find the right method. In addition to the above-mentioned small tips, we must also develop good living habits, wash our feet frequently, and change our socks frequently. You can put some white vinegar in your socks, which can not only remove odors, but also reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.
