Coconut Oil Soothes Rough Heels

Q. I had stinky feet and rough heels. I used Vicks to help with my rough heels, and it worked.
Then I heard about coconut butter. I started using this on my feet and it worked almost overnight to cure the rough heels and stinky feet.
I highly recommend it. I bought my coconut oil at Whole Foods. It is solid at room temperature.

A. Coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer. Udderly Smooth Foot Cream contains shea butter, another super moisturizer. (The manufacturer, Redex, supports The People’s Pharmacy radio show.)
