Question on Heel Splitting

[Greg BoggsStudent]

My wife occasionally has her heel get split, and it’s worse in the summer when she wears sandals

She thinks there might be some hormonal contribution to it, but we don’t really know. Does anyone have any ideas what we could do to either help prevent it, or speed up recovery when it does happen?

Thanks!

Other than that, I’d make a salve with comfrey, marshmallow and Calendula. See this lesson:

Or, just get a Save Yer Skin Lotion Kit:

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
