Foot odor or smelly feet, technically known as bromhidrosis, can be really embarrassing for those suffering from this problem.
This usually occurs when your feet sweat and the sweat does not evaporate because you are wearing shoes or socks. Bacteria naturally present on your skin grow as they feed on the sweat and dead skin cells, producing the foul smell.
Lavender Oil
Lavender oil not only smells good but also helps kill bacteria. Plus, it has antifungal properties that are effective in treating foot odor.
- Put a few drops of lavender essential oil in warm water.
- Soak your feet in it for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Repeat twice daily for a few days.
Alum:
Alum powder has astringent and antiseptic properties. Thus, it inhibits the growth of bacteria.
- Mix one teaspoon of alum powder in one cup of warm water.
- Wash your feet with this solution.
- After 15 to 20 minutes, dry your feet thoroughly and then sprinkle some alum powder on them.
- Do this once daily.
