What can I do for cracked heels?
Cracked skin is due to dryness in the body. Please ensure that 70% of your diet is water rich. Our skin is a reflection of what is happening within the body.
It would be best to avoid using soaps on the skin. Please use the leftover giri of coconut (after taking out the milk) to scrub the feet everyday. After that, apply cold pressed coconut oil or coconut milk on the feet for moisture. You can cover the feet with a muslin cloth to retain the moisture. However, do not wear thick socks as they would stop the exchange of air.
Please avoid wearing closed tight shoes and allow for the skin on the feet to breathe. Choose to wear cloth or jute shoes.
