"A pinch of salt is worth a pound of cure"
Old proverb: written on a tile in The Path.
Cure for Potter's Foot:
Dissolve a cup of salt in a bowl of warm water. Soak
feet until water turns cold. Rub feet vigorously with a
pumice stone or lufah, making sure all the dead skin is
removed. Dry feet THOROUGHLY, especially between the
toes. Try not to put socks on for as long as possible
after this treatment. A daily footbath is best, but at
the very least repeat twice a week.

one drop of tea tree oil and one of sandalwood oil.

or advice.
