Foot odour natural cures 

Foot odors are usually a result of too much perspiration on your feet or a recurrent fungal infection that is stubborn enough to not leave. Over and above this, if you keep your feet enclosed in shoes and socks, this will only add to your problem. You can begin taking care of this problem by washing your feet several times a day.


You can make a foot soak of used tea bags and warm water. Keep your feet submerged in this for about 20 minutes every morning and evening. The tannin present in tea should help in getting rid of the stubborn foul smell.


Alternately, you can also make a soak of organic vinegar and try the same method. If both of these do not work, try Epsom salts.

An excellent measure is to use foot powder. Try one that has a corn starch base rather than a talc base. This will help in getting rid of the sweaty deposits in and around the toes and help take away the stink as well. Another remedy to arrest the spread of the smell is to dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and scrub it all over the feet. Alcohol is strongly astringent in nature and can help by controlling the dampness, which is where the problem usually stems from.
