Barefoot
Did you know that there are real health benefits from going barefoot? When you consider that people have only been walking around with shoes for 500 years, you should really try walking without them more often! Not only are the joints spared, but you also walk more upright and consciously.
Potatoes
Even grandma knew how to help herself with potatoes. They have a lot of advantages and they are also really good for the feet. It can be used cooked or raw for pedicures. The potatoes make the hard skin tender and soft again so that you can walk around the world barefoot carefree.
You need:
a potato (raw or boiled)
coarse sea salt
foot cream
Here’s how to do it raw:
Slice the raw potato and sprinkle with the sea salt.
Rub the sole of your foot with the potato in a circular motion.
Then rinse your feet and rub them with foot cream so that everything stays nice and soft.
And like this with boiled potatoes:
Boil the potatoes as usual, except that you shouldn’t add any salt to the cooking water.
When the potatoes are done, mash them in the boiling water.
Now hold your feet in the warm potato water for 10-15 minutes.
Then rinse your feet and apply lotion carefully.
