2. Sage and Rosemary Soak

Sage has antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties.

Rosemary is also antibacterial/antifungal, and both herbs are astringent, which means that they help minimize the production of sweat from your feet.

Less sweat means a less ideal environment for bacteria.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
  • 1-2 teaspoons of dried sage
  • A large bowl or bucket to soak your feet in

Instructions

  1. Fill a foot basin with boiling water and add the herbs to it.
  2. Let it steep until it is cooled down just enough to put your feet in.
  3. Soak for 30 minutes 1-2 times daily.
  4. Dry thoroughly.

3. Bubbly Baking Soda and Citrus Soak

Baking soda is one of the best all-around cleaning agents, but it’s also a true miracle worker when it comes to your feet.

It naturally helps control odor, kill bacteria/fungus, and softens your skin. Lemon acts as an astringent and has a wonderful, fresh scent.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup of baking soda
  • 8 cups of warm water
  • Juice of one lemon
