For as long as I can remember, my feet were a constant source of embarrassment. No matter how often I washed them, they always felt rough, tired, and carried a stubborn odor. The skin on my heels cracked, and the itch between my toes drove me crazy. I tried creams, powders, even expensive sprays—but nothing worked.
Then one day, I stumbled across an old home remedy: a simple baking soda foot soak. Skeptical but desperate, I gave it a try. I filled a basin with warm water, added just one spoon of baking soda, and soaked my feet.
After fifteen minutes, I rubbed my feet gently—and to my shock, the dead skin came off effortlessly, like softened butter. The odor vanished. The itch between my toes calmed instantly. For the first time in years, my feet felt fresh, light, and clean.
