NATURAL CURES - MORE THAN HOME REMEDIES
On these pages are natural cures for the feet and legs
that we have used ourselves or have verified with health books. Cures
without chemicals or toxins are better for your health and for our
environment. These are also convenient since many of the ingredients
can be found in your kitchen or garden, especially when emergencies
come up and you can't get to a store or doctor. Natural remedies
will also save you money.
Be very careful where you scratch ... Athlete's foot can
be spread to other areas of the body, such as the armpits, knees, elbows, and
the groin. Not everyone realizes this because doctors use a different name
for the infection on each part of the body.
Talk to your doctor before making any major change. Starting
a natural remedy may require your doctor to change the dose of your prescription
medicines. You can read more about this in our articles.
RUNNING SURFACES AND YOUR FEET
Your running surface may be creating damage to your
body.
GRASS OR SMOOTH DIRT
Grass or smooth dirt are the best surfaces. They offer the least impact to
your joints and the most shock absorption. Still, contact with the
occasional sprinkler or hole can cause sprains.
ASPHALT
Running on asphalt is terribly hard on muscles
and tendons, and your lower back. Not only does it cause greater impact,
it does not offer much absorption at all.
SAND
Sand offers low impact but it is very hard on
the muscles, and the back and shoulders. The wetter the sand, the
less it absorbs shock. Running sessions on sand should be kept very short.
CONCRETE
The worst surface for running is concrete, which
is even harder than asphalt on muscles and tendons (up to 10 times more), and
it can even damage connective tissue.
If your only available surface is concrete, it would be advisable to
invest in your own treadmill or joining a gym to use theirs. The treadmill
could be used for the bulk of your running schedule, if not all.
NOTE: If your dog runs with you, a poor surface will also damage his
joints and muscles.
