Heels - Dry Cracked
I am on alot of NSP products including flax, omegas, and drinking alot of water. I still have dry cracked heals. Any ideas??? -Jeanne

I would use an essential oil blend of 6 drops Helichrysum, 12 drops lavender, and 6 drops Roman Chamomile in one ounce of a carrier, such as NSP's massage oil or healing AC cream (or any lotion). Apply this to the heels 3 times daily. Hope this helps! -Andrew

I recall learning at a CNHP seminar that cracked heals can be a sign of heavy metal toxicity. Just something to consider. -Kimberly

Internally, I've always had almost immediate relief from heel cracks by taking 6 to 8 Black Current Oil at one time a day. I don't know why -- but only the Black Current Oil helps me.
The essential oils that Andrew suggested sound good. I would soak my feet in hot water w/a few drops of Sunshine Concentrate in it first tho. Actually try peeling some of the old callus off after soaking, then spread the oils on lavishly. -Georgiana

If you wear a lot of sandals, or shoes without socks this causes a lot of dryness and cracking as well.
However if this is not the case...HSN-W maybe a good option or horsetail (basically anything high in Silica). -Lourdes Martinez |
