Castor oil on feet: The trick that everyone over 65 is using

How to Apply Castor Oil to Your Feet

Step by step to take advantage of all its benefits:

1. Wash your feet with warm water and neutral soap.
   This will remove impurities and open up pores for better absorption.
2. Dry your feet thoroughly, especially between your toes.
3. Apply a generous amount of  castor oil.
   Massage for at least 5 minutes, making circular motions on the heel, sole, and toes.
4. Wear clean cotton stockings.
   This will allow the oil to work overnight without staining the sheets.
5. Leave it on overnight.
   The next morning, you’ll notice a noticeable softness and a resting feeling in your feet.

Other tips to keep your feet healthy after 65

Check your feet daily

Especially if you have diabetes. Look for wounds, blisters, or color changes.

Do gentle stretching exercises

Move your ankles in circles, stretch your toes, and walk barefoot on soft surfaces to stimulate the muscles.

Wear comfortable and appropriate shoes

Shoes with good cushioning and non-slip soles prevent falls and pains.

Cut your nails carefully

Always straight, to avoid ingrown toenails or infections.

Alternate with foot baths

You can immerse your feet in warm water with coarse salt or chamomile infusions to relax and reduce inflammation.
