In reply to Akiko. Hi Akiko, Thanks for the tip on Neem oil. I've never heard of it before, where do you purchase your Neem oil? Thanks, Tracy

I use Neem oil. 20 min soaks using Neem Oil emulsified in some type of liquid soap (body wash, for example), then air drying without rinsing, followed up by Theraneem Lotion daily for three days gets rid of months of foot issues within a few days. I swear by it. The people of India don’t call it “Miracle Oil” for no reason.

In reply to CC. Hey CC, I'll have to give your method try, sounds like it works wonders! Thanks for sharing, Tracy

Just to share a extra, really simple, step that works wonders for me, apply Vaseline and immediately put socks on, at least three nights a week, to achieve a super soft deep moisturizer results. Before I had to do a lot of work to obtain ‘ok’ results from my pedicures, just because I keep squiping the daily moisturizing step, since I read this super simple tip, I have “sandals ready feet” at all times, and I just do a quick pedi every couple of weeks.

Hi Jackie!

Thanks for the tip about being careful when using Listerine if you have sensitive skin. We love it when our readers share their experiences and advice with us! Have a great day – Tracy

The Listerine method worked well for me when I followed it with a pumice stone. However, my unexpected reaction to this method is that on all uncalloused areas, I broke out in a painful, itchy rash that lated a few days! I would not suggest this method for sensitive skin or be very carefull to ONLY get it on calloused areas!

In reply to Jayne. Hi Jayne, My feet are ready for a Pedicure, I'll try the Listerine and Epsom salts, I would love to see quite a bit of dead skin roll off when I use a pumice stone! So glad you are one of our followers, thanks for commenting! Tracy (the middle sister)

I have tried both of these but what I found worked best is listerine and epsom salts in warm water, soak for 10 minutes and I noticed quit a bit of dead skin roll off then used a pumice stone…just another idea for those that want to try…thanks for posting the results 🙂

In reply to Robin. Robin, Thanks so much for sharing your foot soak solution, I think I will try the Listerine with the apple cider vinegar and update the post. I sure hope I get the same results that you do! Great to hear that you found some relief from your severe foot pain. Have a great week, Tracy (the middle sister)

In reply to April. Hi April! Yes gold Listerine would have been a better choice, but of course we didn't think of it until after we had tried the blue Listerine. We would love to hear how the other method works for you, thanks so much for commenting! Hope you have a great week! Tracy (the middle sister)

I have really majorly calloused feet complete with cracks that go as deep as 1/2 inch. I did the following. 1/4 cup Listerine, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup very warm water. Soak for 10 minutes per foot. The container I use will only fit one foot at a time. So I used a pumice stone on the one I’d just soaked while the other foot soaked. After the first treatment, the cracks were closing up. I didn’t see callouses “wipe off” but they weren’t as bad. By the second treatment, the cracks are closed & the excess callouses could be trimmed off. I moisturize with Jergens Ultra Healing.

I’ve fought with this issue for 20 years but since we moved to the desert, it’s gotten really bad. I’ve tried every treatment I come across to fix my feet. At the point I tried this I was physically unable to walk without being in extreme pain. Since that first soak, I have not had pain when walking. Whoo-hoo!!

I think you’re supposed to use the plain ol’ original Listerine. The gold colored one? So you’re feet don’t turn blue. I tried this method and it didn’t work for me. I’ll try the other one you have posted here 🙂

In reply to Tim. We might just have to test out the vinegar! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for these tips. I was told by a doctor the best cure for athletes foot and nail fungus is to soak nightly in vinegar and water every night for two weeks. much cheaper than all those creams and nail polishes.

Skin hydration is important. It is helpful in rejuvenating the skin. Thank you for sharing on skin cleansing. It removes the skin dirt.

Great post – very unique tips and much needed because I think foot health is an ignored aspect of healthy living and taking care of yourself.
