She Soaked Her Feet in This Tea for 20 Minutes Every Day, and Here's What Happened

Struggling with foot odor? It's a natural occurrence, especially when feet are enclosed in shoes all day. How do you overcome it? The internet offers several interesting methods. One notable approach involves a single-ingredient soak that aids significantly.

All you need to do is fill a basin or tub with about five cups of hot water (not boiling), and steep five bags of black tea in it. Soak your feet daily in the basin for at least 20 minutes, and repeat the process for a week. The tannic acid in black tea is known for its exceptional antibacterial properties and is also excellent against excessive sweating that causes bad odor.

What else can black tea heal? Here are some interesting points:

- Helps stop gum bleeding.

- Strengthens the immune system.

- Alleviates dry eye symptoms (with compresses).

- Inhibits the development of herpes virus (an Earl Grey tea bag compress, for example, works wonderfully).

One user who tried this tip shares: "I suffered from bad foot odor for years, and almost nothing helped. I spent thousands of dollars on creams and acupuncture treatments, and I wasn't as satisfied as I am with this tip. After just four treatments, I started to notice a significant improvement," writes the reader in response to an article published on the Reader's Digest site.
