Packed with essential oils and soothing qualities along with healthy acids, this Listerine chamomile foot soak for calluses and dry skin works like a charm. It’s one of the best foot soak remedies used for ages to get rid of smelly, sweaty feet.

As with any home remedy, there may be side effects, especially for those with sensitive skin. With that being said, listerine is used in the mouth so it contains healthy ingredients and little side effects. Chamomile is also a very healthy tea making it mostly safe.

However, it is always recommended that you perform a skin patch test before using any concoction on your skin. To do one, apply a little bit of the mixture on your inner upper arm and if there is redness, swelling, or itching, it means that you are allergic.

Benefits Of Listerine Chamomile Foot Soak 

Listerine – contains four essential oils, methyl salicylate, eucalyptol, menthol, and thymol. All of these essential oils have anti-plaque properties which means they destroy bacteria that form on the teeth. Interestingly, when used as a foot soak, it provides the same benefits.

This is great for those with toenail fungus, athlete’s foot, and other mild infections of the feet. When it comes to removing dead skin though, methyl salicylate is what gets the job done because it’s very similar to a chemical exfoliant called Salicylic acid. 

Chamomile – contains 3 natural plant compounds known as chamazulene, bisoprolol, and apigenin. Chamazulene has anti-inflammatory properties and helps with wounds, bisoprolol helps soothe the skin and apigenin helps prevent skin damage.

When used as a foot soak, these compounds help soften dead skin cells and calluses on your feet making it easier to scrub off. They also aid in relaxing the muscles in your feet which creates a soothing effect. 

Warm water – is nature’s cure, simply soaking your feet in warm water for 30 minutes can help improve circulation! Warm water makes your blood vessels bigger which helps blood circulate better in your legs and feet which is very important for younger feet.

Apart from its amazing benefits, soaking your feet in warm water a few times per week can also help soften dead skin so now you know the benefits of this foot soak, let’s get on with the recipe!
