We take our feet for granted - until they hurt!
If our feet hurt, it affects everything else in our life. If we can
fix the foot problems and so forget about our feet, it is much easier to
get on with daily living. Maybe it is just another way our bodies
are trying to get us to tune in to deficiencies that can affect other parts
of the body too. Often something simple - like taking enough of a supplement
like magnesium or manganese to get rid of the foot problem, will also correct
lots of other problems and discomfits in other parts of the body too.
It is always worth a try.
