Natural Cures for stinky feet

Athlete's foot can make your feet stink, and wearing shoes and sox all day can compound the problem, so try some natural cures:

Soaking feet in a vinegar or baking soda solution for 15 minutes daily can help both problems, as is an Epsom-salt solution. After soaking, dry your feet well, especially between the toes.

Tea tree oil or topical garlic in olive oil can also destroy the athlete's foot fungus.

Meanwhile, now that summer is here, try wearing sandals to let the air get to those feet!

Strange Cures for Smelly Feet

A podiatrist may prescribe strong medicine for your smelly feet, but since all pharmaceuticals carry the danger of debilitating side effects, why not try some old fashioned home remedies first?

Here are some cures that have worked for others, and may work for you:

Rub a cut lemon on your feet

Soak your feet in warm water with tannic acid - and since tea is high in tannic acid, you may have the cure in your kitchen cupboard.

A third remedy sounds pretty awful but is an old army cure and many swear that it works: Soak your feet in urine.
