Glad to see you have the heels cured. I, too, had the problem for a long time.

Now I take some type of hand lotion and add some oil of some sort to the lotion. Olive oil, sunflower oil, etc. Each morning before I put on socks I rub a small bit of this lotion on my feet and the feet stay baby skin soft. And no more torn skin between toes either.

I also use this on my hands and they stay soft.

My favorite recipe is: pint of lotion
1 cap full of lavender oil
1 cap full of eucalyptus oil
1 cap full of rosemary oil
3 ounces sesame oil
I also add some good smelling oil. Right now I have one batch with jasmine oil and another with honeysuckle oi.

All measurements are approximate.

This mixture is a great rub for aches. It also clears most skin rashes. It will also cure athlete's foot within a week or two.

I am happy that you have found a solution for your concern. I too had a similar issue for a long time and tried similar remedies. As soon as I stopped the topical supplements, my feet started to get dry and cracked. So, I started to research the root cause of the problem. I found that healthy body doesn't allow such issues to happen. I also heard this saying as I was searching for a solution, "Disease and wellness can't exist in the body at the same time.'' Paul Chek. So, I concluded that when our bodies have adequate sources, we have good skin, are energetic, clear in thinking. I found Natasha Campbell's nutritional protocol called GAPS diet. I started eating this way about a week. Then, I realized that all the skin problems I had started disappearing. My heels got so soft and pink. I told my experience to my family. My mother who was a long time rosecea sufferer started the diet after about a month rosecea completely cleared. The only key is to follow this diet to the word. Little cheat food can stop the person from getting all the benefits.

I wanted to share this information so other people can benefit from it too.

Have a beautiful day.

Just found this post today and I'm glad that I did. I have been having cracks not just on my heels but toe fingers as well and they seemed to be getting more and more everyday. We have povidone Iodine at home which I used for treating wounds. I didn't know that it can cure cracked heels too! I'll try this remedy before I go to bed later.
