6 responses Your feet contain the nerve endings of every nerve in your body hence it is essential that your feet are well maintained so ensure that you are in the best of health. The most common feet problems are smelly feet, cracked feet or corns. The simplest way to get rid of all feet problems is by treating them in the right way as soon as you find the problems.
- Most feet problems start off with the wrong footwear. Make sure your feet are comfortable and there is enough breathing room in the shoes to avoid smelly feet and corns.
- Wash your feet with warm soapy water and pat them dry. Make sure you dry well between your toes. Also scrub your heels with a foot scrub or pumice stone before putting cream on it to remove dry dead skin and your heels will feel soft and smooth.
- Cracked heels are usually caused due to dry heels. Make sure they are well moisturized but avoid putting the cream between your toes as it is usually damp in those places.
- Make sure you use clean and comfortable socks before you wear your shoes especially in summer when your feet tend to get sweaty. This is to avoid the shoes from getting smelly and remain clean. You could also apply some powder to keep your feet dry.
- Treat your feet to a pedicure or massage every two to three months to keep your feet smooth and clean.

Rubbish. The foot doesn’t contain the nerve endings of every nerve in the body. Grossly wrong statement.

Do you have any reference to prove that our statement in the post is wrong (regarding nerve endings). There are large number of alternative therapies which use these nerve endings, like acupuncture, acupressure and reflexology to name a few and they maintain that they work through the nerve endings in the foot.
Hi,
Who the hell is this Susan to start comments with the word “Rubbish”? Is she someone who is doing a similar blog or an enemy of this blog owner[I don't know this guy as well!]. May I leave some urls here which I think shall be useful.
Anyone who is having brain [and of course,nerve endings] can clearly understand that there are many nerve endings in the foot.

Thanks Carolina for the heads up and some referral urls.
We do provide freedom of expression in our blogs, but it would be nice if Susan too can substantiate her claims with proof rather than just a single word “rubbish”.
A foot scrub is a wonderful product which removes dead skin from the foot and imparts a healthy glow to the skin. The primary ingredient in a foot scrub is salt. Here is a homemade foot scrub recipe:-
Salt foot scrub
Ingredients:
1 cup of sea salt or Epsom salt
1/2 cup of cold water
2 drops of lavender essential oil
Preparation:
Start off by gradually adding water to salt and lavender oil
As you are adding it, you want to make sure the mix starts looking like a paste. It has to be not too liquid and not too solid, it should be like soft though otherwise it will run between your fingers
Rub your feet and soles in circular motion
Rinse off with warm water
no! not ok! hand lotion is very harsh and strong. its fine on your hands because the skin on your hands is hard and a lot toupher than the skin on your face
