General measures for sweaty feet

Socks, stockings and shoes made of synthetic materials have to be exchanged for cotton stockings and leather shoes without rubber soles. Worn socks should be washed after single use, the shoes will air well the following day. The feet are daily to wash extensively without soap. In summer, open shoes and barefoot running should be preferred.

Nutrition & Lifestyle

Stimulants such as coffee, tobacco, alcohol and spicy spices, but also the consumption of meat and salt should be drastically reduced. The food should consist mainly of fresh fruit and vegetable preparations, care should be taken to ensure adequate hydration in the form of water and diluted fruit juices. Sufficient sleep at night and regular exercise in the fresh air can support the self-healing powers.

What can help

A tried and tested home remedy for foot sweat is a foot bath made of oak bark. For this purpose, 500g oak bark are boiled in 5 liters of water for 15-20 minutes, poured off and after cooling for 15-20 minutes, the feet bathed in it. Apply twice a day and always finish with a cold cast.

- In circulatory disorders, the feet can be rubbed in the evening with rubbing alcohol.

- Internally teas or tinctures of sage are used, which of course reduce the sweat flow.

- For nervous ailments, gently soothing tea preparations of valerian, hops and lemon balm can bring about improvement.

Bach flowers can help

Bach flowers help by balancing mental states that underlie physical disorders. Since the self-assessment "blind spots" are unavoidable, it is helpful to have the appropriate Bach flowers by professional clinicians with an objective view and a good knowledge of flower descriptions to determine. The following considerations can be made in advance:

Is there something that unbalances me internally? How do I start to sweat? Is something poisoning a part of my life? Can I switch well between activity and rest?

Homeopathy with sweaty feet

Since, according to homeopathic law, the remedy is found not for a disease but for a particular constitution, expert therapeutic counseling is necessary for a profound cure. First, the following remedies can be tried in the low potencies D6, D12: Silicea (in the case of very foul smelling acid sweat on feet, hands, underarms, icy feet, often in chilly, lean people); Calcium Carbonicum (cold, wet, foul-smelling feet, head sweaty at night, sweating while eating, exacerbation in cold, humid air); Acidum Butyricum (extremely stinking foot sweat, crumbling toenails, exacerbation at night and on exertion); Sulfur (Burning feet, hot at night, cold during the day, frequent diarrhea in the morning, unhealthy skin, underarm perspiration and hot, sweaty hands, aggravated by bed heat); Sepia (sweating with hot flushes, irritability, exhausted mothers, hectic patches on the face) as well as Mercurius and Lycopodium.
