Yea, I've never sanded my feet. It seems that with good oils, that they should take care of themselves, naturally. What would the ancients do? They would brush and scrape to clean pores and make a better avenue to cleanse, clearing the dead skin cells. Does this make for more callous, scar tissue and does that make for less cleanse, making a cycle? What is your thinking?
I'm wondering what toxins are used to make sandpaper, to treat it, get the sand to stick, etc. One would need to cleanse pretty deep after getting it into pores. Ever soaked them afterwards and looked at the residue? Jus' thinkin'.
Also, like using lipbalm, overuse may cause dependence and diet may be a factor. I only use bag balm occasionally as massage, or when I see drying. I wipe most of it off after massage. It gets all over the floor, anyway, an oily trail of foot prints.
I notice that heat and heat from exercise will make my feet sweat more. This brings out oils. They get slippery on rocks. It gets more difficult when climbing, similar to why climbers use chalk on their hands. The weekly sweat helps the natural expiration of the skins pores and toxins. This, I think, applies to the bottoms of feet, too.
Well, off to soak this wound in sea salt and lay the feet out in the sunshine to dry and get light naturally.
I heard of a study last night with explanation from a doctor. Cells have a piece for processing light for communication, just like plant chlorophyll process, just one different molecular component away. UV therapy is good. UV blockers are bad and cancer causing. Sunscreen causes cancer! Sun light heals.
