For strengthening and relaxing your feet try this super simple foot exercise. Stand barefoot on the floor and curl your toes under. Hold this position for a second. Repeat several times. This is an excellent exercise because it forces the arch of the foot upwards and strengthens it.

Another exercise to strengthen arches is to stand barefoot and slowly rise as high as possible on tiptoes.

Repeat several times daily and you will find that your feet do not tire so easily.

For Foot Freshness

For foot freshness in the summer, soak them for a few minutes in cold salted water.

Cider vinegar can be added to the water instead of salt. Cider vinegar is said to cure itchiness of feet.

Whenever you bathe, remember to use some of your baby oil or lotion on your feet as well. Freshen your feet by sprinkling them with talcum powder.

Cramps

Cramps are very often the result of calcium deficiency in the body. Step up your calcium intake. To ensure absorption of the additional calcium, take a teaspoon of cider vinegar diluted with a little water after meals. Extra Vitamin C also helps in the absorption of calcium. Take Vitamin C tablets regularly.

Cold Feet

If you suffer from cold feet in bed, it is worthwhile to massage them with olive oil just before bedtime.

Make sure you massage well in between your toes.
