Remedies For Stinky Feet

RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet Post By jg (Guest Post) (12/04/2008) For me and probably for many of you the smell is from a bacteria. You can probably see little wells in your skin, which are being used for food by the critters. The following works for me. In England a few years back I found a cream that stopped the smell for a month. I couldn't find it in the USA but realized that the formula was very similar to gel-type underarm deodorants. So now, when I have a problem I start the morning by rubbing in some of the gel on my feet before putting on my socks. Also if needed I will put a small amount of foot deodorant powder in my shoes that *does not* contain cornstarch or other things bacteria can eat. I can't believe that the deodorant is worse on my feet than under my arm in terms of chemical exposure. One caution, Boric acid works well in foot powders but it is poisonous, so don't use a lot. Read up on it.

Please inform yourself before putting anything in your feet natural or not natural. For example to soak your feet in Tea sporadically or maybe putting Listering that are things we consume I do not think could be of harm. But detergents are TOXIC they are absorbed. Maybe you won't notice and years from now start presenting a level of toxicity diseases or carcinogenic effects "cancer" from putting your skin in contact with toxic agents. Please don't be ignorant and research anything skin absorbs and it goes to the blood stream in the same way as if you drink it or ingest the toxic. It is very alarming what I read here because some child might take the Lysol...bleach or other borax suggestion as a possibility without knowing these are detergents that may be extremely toxic an bad for you. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet Post By lucas (Guest Post) (12/03/2008) Any of the bleach or detergents that people suggest here should not be used because they can hurt your health. Bleach is not good for your system. Tea and tea tree oil and vinegar sound like a better solution. Never put in your skin anything Toxic in the same way as if you drank it. toxins can be absorbed through the skin and enter your system. Some people may write it as a joke and A kid with no knowledge in their ignorance and desperation can use it and harm themselves. BE RESPONSIBLE!

I cant make her sit somewhere soaking her for ever! What can I do? Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet Post By (Guest Post) (05/16/2008) I have a good solution. First wash your feet in hot water with Soap and dry well. Then get very cheap vodka and put about half a gallon in a wash basin and wash each foot and submerge for at least 3-5 minutes. This will get rid of the odor for at least a week. The next part is to have at least 3 pairs of shoes and throw out any old socks. Never wear socks for more than one day. Do Not Ever put on socks again after you take them off. This will prevent athletes foot too. I carry an extra pair of socks when I head to my gf house just in case. I haven't had smelly feet in like two years. remember to use insoles with baking soda or carbon. and change these every month.

Use a handful of rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol on feet with every bath or shower. If feet sweat a lot wear two pair of absorbent socks for two weeks & change them every 4-6 hours. After a week or two of using alcohol daily u shouldn't have to change socks anymore. Your foot odor should be eliminated, but continue to using alcohol each day.

Bowel cleansing may also help. Your feet excrete toxins from the body. Remember when soaking your feet be careful in what you use as a soak because your body absorbs through the skin. You need to get rid of toxins not add more to your system. To end the stink in your shoes, remove the foot bed and pour in about a 1/2 cup of baking soda. Shake the baking soda around in your shoes to coat even the top inside of the shoe and let sit over night. Pour it out the next day clapping your shoes to remove any excess and replace the old insole with new foot liners/insoles in your shoes.

Just sprinkle a little on the inside of your tub or shower and work it in with your feet (make sure to get it in between each toe and on top). The bleach kills the bacteria, and the talc soaks up foot moisture.

Some of it was that they were being cruel on purpose and part of it was that I had stinky feet. I started doing colonics (colon hydrotherapy) and the odor has pretty much gone! I thought I was regular, but after the first session I had about 5 pounds of waste.I know it sounds gross, but I got on the scale and I lost about 5 pounds and my stomach stopped protruding. Subsequently, I had 4 more sessions and my foot odor is gone. From a scientific standpoint, all of the nerves end in the foot, so when you are not eliminating properly bacteria from the colon just get recirculated and end up causing bacteria to end in the feet. A few other things I have to do is scrub the dead skin off my feet with a pumice stone or something hard like that, but initially I went and got a professional pedicure because they can use a razor that doesn't hurt to get layers of dead skin off that's old and stinky. Next, I have to regularly clip my toenails, wash my feet with Dial or some antibacterial soap, dry well and put powder in my shoes. Also, I try not to where the same shoe everyday so they can air out. I know all of this sounds crazy, but it has worked for me and I did some research and apparently Elvis Presley had really horrible foot odor and remember he was impacted. when they did an autopsy on him there were massive amounts of waste. just my story. i hope this helps Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet Post By Tachi (Guest Post) (05/09/2007) MY FEET ARE A FUNKY MESS IT HURTS TO GO TO PEOPLES HOUSES THAT INSIST THAT YOU TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF.

To help shoes last longer, and cut down on the odors in them (and thereby reduce the feet smell) - rotate shoes. Never wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. The shoes need to dry for 24 hours between wearings. Discard any shoes that you cannot remove the odor from. Wear cotton socks and leather shoes. These will help the feet to breath. Change socks daily. Wash feet with a good mild soap each day. Dry feet thoroughly. Apply a good foot powder or spray. I use a peppermint foot spray every morning on my feet and a generic Dr sholls's type foot powder in my shoes. Avoid wearing plastic shoes or nylon socks. I haven't tried this one, but it looks like it might be a help. Soak feet in bath of 1 cup vinegar, 1 dash dish soap, lots of warm water for 10 mins. Pat dry. Refill tub or bowl with warm water and oatmeal, squeeze oats till water is milky...soak another 10 or so. Pat dry..fresh as a daisy! The person who recommended this says it lasts several days too!

She'd warned me about her feet and she wasn't joking... The stinky feet smell is normally bacteria feeding on dead skin and for want of a better word, farting the smell.. The cure is very simple. Go out and buy some new shoes/trainers. Wash feet in hot water - quite hot soapy water. Rinse well in hot water and make sure all the soap is off. Dry feet really well - with a hair drier if possible to make sure there isn't any moisture on them. Next, soak your feet in a solution of hot water and sodium hypochlorite." WHAT'S THAT???" - the stuff you soak baby bottles in! In the UK it's called "Milton sterisling solution". You need a few good glugs in the bowl of water. Say about 250ml. Soak your feet for about an hour in this solution so's your feet are prune looking. Remove feet but don't dry completely. Leave them so they are a little damp. Don't rinse. Put a pair of clean socks on and go to bed. When you wake up in the morning have your usual shower and put on clean socks and new shoes and go to work etc. Get home at night and remove shoes. You won't smell anything but a warm shoe smell. Ask a friend neighbour etc to smell your feet. There won't be anything to smell! Works every time. About day two or three you will notice that you have very dry feet and they may crack ever so slightly. Just use a moisturiser. By day seven you'll have normal unsmelling feet. Even if you've sweated all day (which is quite natural 'cos your feet are supposed to sweat). They aren't supposed to stink. What you've done is kill off the bug in your feet. You've got rid of any hiding places for the bug by washing in hot soapy water and rinsing off. The strerilising solution then kills it. The overnight ever so slightly damp socks treatment gives it chance to get into nook and cranny of your feet just in case you missed any bugs in the soak. Your old shoes etc?... Put them back on for instant smelly feet. The bug's hiding in them waiting for you. Trainers can be washed in a hot machine wash - if you aren't overly concerned about them. BUT make sure they are dry totally before you put them back on your feet. Not surface dry but all the way through. If they aren't you'll be able to find out because bugs will have survived and when they go back on your feet you'll have to repeat the whole thing again. Shoes... best thing is put them somewhere warm and dry for about six months and forget about them. The bugs need moisture to live so six months should see them off. But I did have a pair of slippers that were nubuck or something that I could not sterlise no matter what I did. They are in the bin. Don't use household bleach as there's a type of 'detergent' in that and that will mega dry your feet out...not good Report Spam or Abuse RE: Remedies For Stinky Feet Post By Elaine (Guest Post) (06/28/2005) any powder with zinc oxide is the key to non-stinky feet.

Poly-based fibers don't allow your feet to "breathe", or absorb moisture, so your feet start to sweat and then stink because the sweat can't evaporate because it is trapped. Also, there are anti-perspirant lotions that you can rub on the bottoms of your feet which will cut down on perspiration and stinkiness.
