foot-odor-remedy Sweat itself is basically tranquil of salt and water. Believe-it-or-not, it doesn’t really smell but, when your feet sweat, the warm, damp environment that’s created is the perfect breeding ground for nasty bacteria to grow and increase in. That’s what actually causes foot odor- bacteria. Talk to your family doctor about your foot odor, and s/he’ll tell you you’re suffering from Bromhidrosis. But, unless you have a medical difficulty that’s causing your feet to sweat excessively and create an odor, you can treat it yourself by using these home remedies:

1. Prevent Excessive Foot Sweating

As the old adage goes, “An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Pound of Cure.” That statement holds true, particularly when it comes to sweating and foot odor. If you take precautions so your feet don’t sweat excessively, that will almost stop foot odor dead in its tracks right there.

There are a number of things that can make your feet sweat:

a) Wearing heavy, enclosed shoes or boots, or wearing plastic or rubber shoes or boots- any material that doesn’t let your feet to breathe

b) Wearing fuzzy/furry slippers or shoes and boots that are wrinkled with fur

c) Wearing synthetic socks; resources such as nylon and acrylic

So, the first home remedy is to wear breathable leather or canvas shoes or boots avoid wearing fuzzy or fur-lined shoe and boots. They’re hypothetical to be warm and cozy. But, if they make your feet sweat, they won’t keep your feet warm anyhow.

Wear open or light shoes and sandals whenever you can to permit your feet to breathe and stay dry.

And, wear natural cotton socks to stop your feet from sweating and stop foot odor dead in its tracks. alter your socks every day; more often if need be.
