(NaturalNews) Women in particular tend to wear shoes that contribute to foot problems and back trouble, largely as a result of wearing high heels or badly fitting shoes. Many women walk an estimated 15 kilometers a day in the course of activities such as child-care, house-work and shopping without counting additional exercise such as walking, jogging or running on a treadmill. Even feet shod in the most comfortable of high tech runners or health shoes also get tired and need a little pampering - try these relaxing home made rubs and foot baths to control foot odor and help rejuvenate feet.
Pour the alcohol over the leaves and leave in a bowl to infuse for at least a day. Strain into a jar or other container, discard the leaves. Add the oil and mix well.

Foot pain can be a reminder that feet are being neglected. Corns, ingrown toenails, fallen arches, bunions, poor circulation and athlete's foot are a few of the more common reminders besides day-to-day problems such as foot odor.
