The importance to our health and well-being of caring for the feet will be clear from the preceding sections. Other interesting points will also be explored in the following pages. However, this section sets out to provide some useful guidelines on caring for the feet in general, as discussed above, as well as dealing with specific problems that may be experienced.

1. To start with, go and buy yourself shoes that are sensible and fit the foot rather than the fashion.

2. In the second place, take note of the following three points:

Wash your feet daily; afterwards knead and massage the muscles, then rub the feet with a little foot oil, such as Juniperosan.

If you suffer from rheumatism, arthritis or an ailment that causes water to accumulate in the feet, it is useful to add a tablespoon of herbal sea salt to a foot bath. This bath should last 15—30 minutes, at a constant temperature of 37°C (98.6°F).

Sore feet should be bathed in an infusion of mallow or sanicle.
