I'm suffering with some cracked heels and I could use suggestions for topical herbs. Right now, I'm using bag balm to help but I thought maybe soaking my feet with herbs would help as well. Any suggestions for easily acquired herbs?

You can soak your feet in the warm herbal tea. It is very healing and feels good.
I use comfrey salve for all kinds of skin issues. It's different than using regular creams and lotions because it actually has the healing properties in it.

My heels are horribly cracked. I can't wear sandals or flip flops in public. I use all kinds of things to file them down. It's so embarrasing to me. I would love to have nice looking feet so I can wear decent shoes in summer.
So what do you do with the herbs? Soak with them? And it gets rid of the cracks? I use thick creams and lotions and nothing seems to help. And it doesn't help that I wear boots to do chores. I think it makes it worse.

Comfrey or Plantain. You probably have lots of plantain growing your yard or the neighbors. I have tons of comfrey and you are welcome to as much as you want!
Make a strong tea and soak your feet. Feels SO good.
