Many
people suffer with painful corns and calluses on their feet or hands
and while it takes time to completely heal the problem, take heart as
you can naturally cure the corn and calluses.
Here is a short list of home remedies that many have used in the past
to successfully ease the pain and eventually eliminate Corns Calluses
from feet and hands. Always consider seeing a professional if problems
persist.
Proper Footwear
If the Corns Calluses are on your feet, firstly look at the type of
footwear you purchase. Are you shoes too tight or poorly fitting? Purchase
shoes that are functional, not fashion. Rounded toes are better than
pointed. Select shoes that have good arch support.
Soften Corns & Calluses
You need to soften corns and calluses so you can gently rub them down
with a pumice stone. Soaking your feet in a solution of warm water and
Epsom Slats is not only soothing to tired and painful feet, it will
reduce swelling and soften the problems areas, which will allow you
to work them away with the pumice stone. Soak you feet twice a day for
10 to 15 minutes at a time.
There are many products that can help soften corns and calluses. Lotions
and bath oils that contain lanolin, glycerin, or lotions with urea or
lactic acid all help soften and dissolve thickened skin.
Treat Corns and Calluses Naturally Using Lemon Peel
Cut strips of lemon peel from 1 lemon and place the peel on your corns
or calluses overnight. Put a bandage on around the peel to keep it in
place. Apply this natural treatment regularly and in a few days the
corn or callus will be gone.
Take a Regular Beach Walk
Walking on wet sand or in the shallows with bare feet works well. Wet
sand acts as an abrasion that will help removal of the dead skin and
the salt content helps in healing small cuts. Salt sea air and sand
between the toes is a wonderful natural feeling that will make your
feet and inner self feel so good.
Baking Soda
Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to a foot spa, basin or anything your
feet can soak in. Fill it half way with warm water and soak your feet
for at least half an hour. Then with a pumice stone carefully file away
the hardened skin.
