Cracked heels are not just a cosmetic issue—they can be uncomfortable, painful, and even lead to infections if left untreated. Dry air, walking barefoot, prolonged standing, and lack of proper foot care can all contribute to rough, split skin on the heels.
Rather than relying solely on store-bought creams, you can try simple natural remedies that work right from your kitchen. In today article, we’ll explore five powerful home remedies—including a surprising onion-and-salt method—that can help you restore smooth, healthy feet.
1. Onion and Salt Scrub
Why it works: Onion is packed with natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory compounds, while salt acts as a natural exfoliant and antiseptic. This duo helps k.i.ll germs, soften hardened skin, and promote healing.
How to use:
– Step 1: Slice a fresh onion into thick pieces.
– Step 2: Sprinkle coarse salt over the slices.
– Step 3: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to release juices.
– Step 4: Gently rub the onion slices on your cracked heels for 3–5 minutes.
– Step 5: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and apply a moisturizer.
Tip: Do this at night and follow up with a foot cream for better results.
