Diabetes and Feet!!!!!
If you or someone dear to you has diabetes, please read on….
A little prevention is far better than waiting to have problems with feet. These can include cracked heals, fungal infections, sores between the toes, and infected nails. And, in many cases, slow healing.
We have three outstanding products for feet, especially for 'more mature' people. Foot Lotion, Foot Powder and Dabbit.
Foot Care:
*Apply lotion directly after showering
*Apply Foot powder as needed
*Use Dabbit for any cuts, or redness around nails to prevent infections.
*Clean socks every day
ON THE BALL FOOT LOTION: Our Foot Lotion is antifungal, and contains cayenne and comfrey which increases circulation. Because poor circulation is often part of the problem with diabetes and foot trouble, this is an excellent foot product choice. We recommend using our On The Ball Foot Lotion after showering while the skin is slightly damp making the lotion more easily absorbed. The lotion base is perfect for moisturising the skin, helping to avoid skin becoming dry or cracked. The strong Tea Tree in this product is an effective anti-fungal.
ON THE BALL FOOT POWDER: Our foot powder is also anti-fungal, absorbs dampness, prevents friction, and makes feet feel really comfortable. Also is talc free.
DABBIT: For toe nail (or fingernail) infections our product Dabbit is really effective. It can deal to established infections, and will heal septicaemia through the skin. It comes in a convenient 10ml rollon bottle. Very potent, so only a tiny drop is needed. This product has two actions, fights the infection, and the healing herbs help the body to heal itself. For established infections it must be applied several times a day.
You can see our products in our online store, or arrange a time to visit our cottage shop in Ngongotaha with a quick text. 021 144 1113

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
