患有痛风的人，会有关节疼痛的毛病。医生通常会给止痛药，很难根治。可以尝试香兰叶这个秘方。把香兰叶和水煮沸，再转小火煮20-30分钟。每天当水喝。但是，食疗都需要耐心的，需要3-5个月以上才有疗效。更长的时间才能根治。

How to heal our cracked heels

I used to have cracked heels often referred to as heel fissures. It lasted several years and it has always been a nuisance . . .

1 * At first, I bought many lotions specially for cracked heels and apply it on my heels on and off for a periods of time but it seem cannot fully recover. . . .

2 *, I tried going for pedicure , beautician helped me scrub my feet removing the dead cells from my feet. . .After the treatment, my feets are soft and smooth. . But soon, after about 3 to 4 days, the skin became dry again and cracks started appearing.

3 * Soon after, I start to do scrubbing my feet at home and learn how to take care of my heels like the Koreans. South Korea is a dry country, many women wear socks at home to keep their feet moisturized. We often see it on Korean dramas. I will apply the lotion and wear socks before going to bed. This method keeps my feet moist when I do it everyday. However, it is very troublesome and I do not adhere to do it daily. Whenever I’m busy or forget, my heels will dry, harden and crack.

4 * Recently, I found a very simple way to solve this problem...
First of all, from my experience, my cracked heels seem is a very serious problem to me. At the same time, doctor reminded me to watch my cholesterol level, because my cholesterol level has crossed the border because of my diet. I like to eat western foods such as: creamy mushroom soup, pasta, cheese cake, cookies that contains a lot of cheese, cream and butter.
Even though it did not require any medical treatment but I think it is best to avoid taking medicine (such as tablets) as they will remain in our kidneys, thus causing side effects.
So I decided to eat nutritional supplements to adjust my cholesterol level. (There is no blood test done, so I am unsure about the effect at this moment)

However, after 10 days of eating Omega 3 soft capsule, I realized that my heel cracks are gone. After 40 days later, I realized the following:-

1) We need to drink enough water.
2) Putting on lotion once a week or twice a month will help reduce the dryness of our skin. My heels became a little dry because I did nothing in these 40 days. Well, at least the condition of my feet is not cracked ! I’m so happy about it ! ! !
3) The nutritional supplements that we took need to be pure . I took 1000mg of fish oil in a soft capsule everyday, equivalent to 500 mg of Omega 3 , 300 mg EPA and 200 mg of DHA.

If the cracked heels problem is not as serious as me, method 1* or 3*.might be sufficient already.

如何医治我们的脚跟龟裂

我一直有脚跟龟裂的问题。这个问题跟随了我好几年。。。

1*起初，我疯狂的购买脚跟龟裂的乳液。连续搽了数天,又段段续续搽了数天,可是不能坚持每天搽到患处复原。。。。

2*之后，我又尝试到美容院做脚指甲美容，美容师帮我的脚底去角质，以去除我脚底的死皮。。。走出美容院时，脚底是柔软和光滑的。。但很快的，几天之后，大约3或4天后，厚和硬的死皮又开始慢慢出现了。

3*不久后，我开始自己在家里去角质和死皮，然后学韩国人那样照顾他们的脚跟。 韩国是一个干燥的国家，许多女士都会在家穿着袜子保湿。我们可以在韩剧里看到。
去完角质和死皮后，我会搽上乳液，在睡前穿上袜子。如果我每天这样做的话，我可以保持脚底柔软又光滑。但是这种方法很麻烦。我不能坚持每天都做。如果我几天不做，脚底的死皮又出现了。

4* 最近，我发现了一个非常简单的方法...
首先，从我的经历，可以看出我的问题是非常严重的。
但因为我的饮食习惯，我时常喜欢吃西餐食品如：奶油蘑菇汤，意大利面，芝士蛋糕，西式饼干。成分含有很多的乳酪，奶精和奶油。
医生提醒我要注意我的胆固醇水平，即使没有到达吃药的成度。因为我的胆固醇水平刚越过边界了。我认为我应该避免吃药物，因为药物会留在我们的肾脏引起副作用。
所以决定吃营养补充品来调整我的胆固醇水平。（目前还没有做血液测试，还不知道效果。）
但在吃了10天的深海鱼油Omega 3软胶囊之后， 我发现我的龟裂脚跟愈合了。脚底不再长厚又硬的死皮了。
吃了40天后，我意识到以下数点：
1）必须喝足够的水。
2）或许可以偶尔搽上乳液，可以一个星期一次，或每月两次。因为我40天什么都不做。40天后，脚底有点干燥。但仍然没有又厚又硬的死皮噢！！好开心！！！
3）营养补充品要纯正的噢！！ 我一天吃一粒软胶囊。1000毫克深海鱼油，相当于500毫克的Omega 3和300毫克EPA和200毫克的DHA。

如果脚跟问题没有那么严重，使用方法1*或3*也同样是有用的。。。。
