Foot Fungus Dry Cracked Heels' title='Foot Fungus Dry Cracked Heels' />I have been asked to comment on a widely circulating Facebook post about an amazing new method to soften feet for the summer. It involves soaking the feet in a mixture of listerine, vinegar and water. So, is this truth or hype You can actually google this foot soak and find many old time remedies for dry feet that include these ingredients. I guess you wont know until you try it. It certainly couldnt hurt, and it might even help. Your feet will surely be clean and tingly when you are done, especially if you use cool mint listerine. The two main ingredients are inexpensive and readily available in most homes, so the most you can lose is ten minutes and a few cents. Listerine contains Thymol, an ingredient that does kill some bacteria and fungi. Although the concentration is lower in this than in some prescription products, it probably does kill germs. I am not sure, however, whether  it would cause skin to exfoliate. Vinegar is acetic acid. This also has some antibacterial properties and in a high enough concentration can cause irritation. Acetic acid contributes to cavity formation by eroding enamel from teeth. This might lead some to think that in low concentrations it can work to soften the skin and make it easier to exfoliate. There have been several things written supporting the notion that vinegar and water soaks can be used to soften dry cracked heals. Some even recommend this for mild athletes foot. As I said earlier, it is worth a try if you have the time and the ingredients readily on hand. There certainly is nothing wrong with or worrisome about soaking your feet in something safe enough to put in your mouth, so why not try this and see for yourself. Lets hear what everyone thinks of this foot soak. Maybe I will try adding a touch of peppermint and eucalyptus to make my own foot spa. Hope this helped,Dr. Jo. Hi. its me again. Now that weve heard from Dr. Jo. Id like to share my experience with the foot soak, which I tried firsthand so that I could see for myself. Below is my recipe of ingredients Listerine Vinegar Foot Soak. Updated Method I used to put the Listerine Vinegar solution into an aluminum pan. But after the frustration of warm water turning cold, I invested in this Brookstone Foot Spa, and I feel like I have a bona fide pedicure soak any time I want one. This product is amazing. Water can be heated to several temps, aqua jets can be turned on or off, and foot massagers and a pumice stone are placed where feet can reach them without my ever having to bend or look down. Below is a photo of how I do my foot soak with the foot spa. Of course you can use a pan, bucket, or anything else that works. I just recently upgraded to this real deal foot spa and absolutely LOVE it The water temp is adjustable and stays the temp you choosefor the entire time. This was the bees knees for me, as a foot soak is only as good as the water temp IMHO. Note When using the Listerine Vinegar solution in the foot spa, I use the heat function and soak for 2. I do NOT use the aqua jets, as it foams and bubbles. I only use aqua jets with plain water and Epsom or magnesium salts.
