Spending long periods in one position (e.g., during long car rides or office work), low physical activity, or improper footwear can promote water retention in the body and lead to swelling. After such a day, it's worthwhile to soak your feet in water with the addition of apple cider vinegar. Fifteen minutes a day is enough, and the key is regularity.
Swollen feet will be a thing of the past
Vinegar is mainly associated with pickling and preserving foods and being an ingredient in homemade cleaning products. However, it can also be used for body care, especially for the feet.
To prepare the bath, you need a bowl of warm water to which you add a cup of vinegar per quart. You can add sea salt and Epsom salt to soften the skin and lavender oil for improved scent and relaxation. Soaking feet for 15 minutes daily for seven days can be highly beneficial.
A vinegar bath helps remove calluses and dead skin
Such a treatment is effective not only for tired feet but also for other ailments. A vinegar bath helps remove calluses, reduces pain, supports cracked skin healing, and softens hardened heels. Vinegar, with the addition of salt, removes dead skin and softens the skin, facilitating further care with the use of moisturizing cream.
Vinegar effectively eliminates unpleasant foot odor. It also strengthens nails and can help in fighting fungus. However, it should be avoided on open wounds or foot irritations, as it may do more harm than good.
