The Best Home Remedies For Cracked Heels

Cracked heels, or heel fissures, are a common condition in which the skin begins to break along the outer edge of the heel. The skin there becomes very dry, hard and flaky which causes the fissures to occur. Some of these fissures may even lead to painful bleeding. But there's no need to lose hope because there are excellent home remedies to treat this condition!

How Can You Treat Cracked Heels?

One of the most important habits to adopt, if you have cracked heels or have had it in the past, is to keep your feet moisturized at all time. Use a soft foot file on your cracked heels to reduce the development of fissures and to remove dry and dead skin cells. And remember, getting rid of cracked heels can be a bit of a process, and the condition will not disappear overnight.

1. Use Oils
oil
Hydrogenated vegetable oil is said to be very good at treating cracked heels. Other oils that are good for treating the condition are: sesame, coconut, olive and vegetable oils.

First clean your feet with soap and water and pat them dry. If you already have cracks in your heels, rub your feet down for a few minutes with a pumice stone to get rid of the dry skin. Then, clean the area with a tissue and apply the oils to any cracks or sores in your heels. Rub the oils in liberally and leave the oil on your feet overnight. For effective results, apply oil each night for a week and you will experience a dramatic improvement in your cracked heels.

2. Ripe Bananas

ripe bananas
Bananas can be an excellent moisturizer if they are used correctly. Mash up the banana and apply it to your dry and cracked heels. Leave the bananas on your feet for 15 minutes, then wash off the mixture with warm water. Later, use cold water to wash off the remainder and to enliven your feet.

3. Paraffin Wax

paraffin
If you experience pain from cracked heels, paraffin wax can give you almost instant relief. Mix the paraffin with coconut or mustard oil and then heat it until the wax melts. Use the resulting liquid and apply it to your feet to be left overnight or wash it off in the morning. You'll be amazed at the results!

4. Lemon Juice

lemon
Applying lemon juice to cracked heels will soften the skin as lemon has acidic properties. Stick your feet in a bucket of lukewarm water and lemon juice for 10 to 15 minutes to hydrate your feet. Once you finish, clean your feet with a pumice stone and pat your feet dry.


5. Rice Flour With Honey and Vinegar

rice flour
This is a great natural scrub for removing dead skin cells. To make the scrub, take 2 tablespoons of rice flour and mix it with 2-3 tablespoons of honey and vinegar. This should make a thick paste. Then, soak your feet in warm water for 10 minutes, apply the scrub on your heels and wash it off with warm water after it's dry.

6. Honey

Using just honey alone can also aid your cracked heels because it has antibacterial and moisturizing properties. When you soak your feet, mix 2-3 tablespoons of honey into the warm water and soak your feet for 15 minutes. This will leave your feet feeling moist and supple.

7. Salt Water

salt water
Believe it or not, this is an excellent remedy for dry and cracking heels, and it may be why most of the beach bums you know have soft, baby-like feet. Place your feet into a bucket of salty warm water and leave them there for 15 minutes. Now remove your feet and place them in a bucket of cold water for 10 minutes. This will improve your blood circulation to your feet.

8. Indian Lilac or Neem Leaves

neems
If you are able to purchase this herb fresh or have a paste available to you at your natural foods store, this solution is most effective in ridding of cracked heels for an extended period. Apply a mixture of neem leave powder and turmeric powder to the cracked area of your heels. Leave the mixture there for 30-45 minutes and wash away the paste when you are done. Pat your feet dry. You should see results in only a few days!

9. Petroleum Jelly

petroleum

If you regularly scrub your cracked heels with a pumice stone, and then apply petroleum jelly, this could aid in getting rid of the dryness. After you have scrubbed your feet with a pumice stone, apply petroleum jelly to them before you go to bed. You will wake with softer and mostly crack-free heels.

10. Rosewater and Glycerin
rosewater
Mix together equal amounts of rosewater and glycerin and rub the mixture over your cracked heels. If any of the fissures are open or bleeding, this could sting as a result of the glycerin (it contain alcohol). This should keep the skin soft for hours, and the mixture can be easily applied before you put on sandals or walk around barefoot outside.

11. Drinking Water

drinking water
It is important to keep your body hydrated because this will prevent your feet from going dry. You should drink 12-15 glasses of water a day to give your heel the necessary elasticity so that it won't crack in the future.

12. Watch Your Calcium Intake

milk

To improve the state of your cracked heels, you need to watch your calcium intake and make sure that you are getting enough. Add foods like yogurt, milk and cheese, broccoli or fish to your diet.

13. Vitamin E and Iron

broccoli
By adding Vitamin E to your diet, you will significantly aid in the occurrence of cracked heels. Foods like vegetable oils, green vegetables, nuts and whole grains are great sources of vitamin E that you should try and incorporate into your diet. Iron is also important for curing cracked heels so make sure that you are eating enough meat, chicken, and fish.

14. Omega 3 Fatty Acids
fish
Foods like flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, and cold water fish are known to be rich sources of Omega 3's, which help reduce the effect of cracked heels.

If you suffer from cracked heels, try some of these natural and home-made remedies, and you are sure to have soft, supple feet in no time!

It is more nutritious than milk, as it has less fats and no cholesterol.

3. It is used as intravenous saline fluid in many developing countries and has saved many lives. The reason that it's possible to be used that way is its composition, which is quite identical to Human Blood Plasma.

9. Anti-Alzheimer's Properties: in an animal model of ovariectomy-induced menopausal changes, coconut water appeared to prevent the decline of brain estrogen (estradiol) levels, as well as the associated accumulation of Alzheimer's disease associated β-amyloid (Aβ) plaque in their brains.

10. Anti-Bacterial Properties: Three novel antimicrobial peptides have been identified in coconut water which exhibited inhibitory activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

11. Anti-Gastroente ritis Agent : When sodium is added (ideally sea salt) coconut water has been determined to be an ideal rehydrating agent in countries where medical supplies are not freely available, and where, say, cholera and other severe forms of gastroenteritis persist.
