Lemongrass soaks: Foil itchy feet

-

Soaking your feet twice weekly in lemongrass tea kills rash-causing skin fungi on contact to cut the risk of an athlete’s foot flare-up by 83%, say British researcher­s. To do: Simmer two lemongrass tea bags in 2 cups of water for 20 minutes; remove tea bags and mix liquid with 4 cups of very warm water and

1⁄2 cup of Epsom salts. Soak your feet for 15 minutes, then dry thoroughly.
