For years I struggled with aching feet, cracked heels and stubborn dry skin that never went away — until one ordinary afternoon when I tried soaking my feet in apple cider vinegar.
Fifteen minutes later, everything felt different.
Why Apple Cider Vinegar Works
Its natural antifungal, antibacterial and exfoliating properties soften calluses, remove dead skin, fight odor and improve circulation — especially helpful for older adults.
