Smelly Feet Home Remedies
Foot odour is a common grouse people complain about. It arises due to excessive sweat secreted around the feet. And the excessive sweat here is due to the fact that feet do have a large number of sweat glands.
The large amount of sweat also serves as a fertile ground for the growth of bacteria as well. The sweat and the bacteria emanate a foul odour that worsens if the feet are not properly ventilated. Socks merely compound the smelly problem.
Usually, socks that are commonly worn are made of polyester or nylon. Polyester and nylon don't provide as much ventilation as cotton socks and hence, people go about holding their noses if a pair of shoes unveil a pair of feet wearing such socks. The smell is nasty and unbearable.
To tackle this, the simplest remedy is to wear cotton socks.They are much more comfortable and do provide better flow of air around the feet. In addition to this, remember to wash your feet as often as you can. Get your feet to be washed in lukewarm water daily. Use a mild soap and once you're done, take the trouble to dry your feet completely. Also, remember to dust your feet quite often with a foot powder.
