Natural health: How to deal with cracked feet

I get deep cracks in my feet, particularly the heels, and they become very painful with the cold weather. I have tried a number of different preparations claiming to fix this problem all to no avail. Are there any cures for this problem?

I typically recommend a nightly foot soak of warm water with a cup of apple cider vinegar added to it for cracked or rough heels. With deeper cracks in your feet, this may sting a little initially (even though the apple cider vinegar is well diluted), but it is worth sticking to this nightly routine for at least half an hour as it really does work.

Once the cracks in your feet have closed somewhat and are healing, you can apply a gauze pad soaked in the apple cider vinegar directly to the affected areas. Tape a waterproof plaster over the soaked gauze pad, then put your socks on over the top and leave this applied overnight.
