I find that Mrs D's tip of soaking my feet in an Epson Salt bath really works and dulls down the tingling and burning. however, it's not always convenient to be able to soak your feet when you need to.

I read on the forum about Epsom Salt Lotion which sounded just the ticket. I live in the U.K. and I couldn't find it or anything like on sale here. I've now sent three emails to the U.S. manufacturer Mortons asking where I can source some an have received no reply which is very disappointing.

Finally I have resorted to making my own using the following recipe which works really well and I thought I'd share it with you:-

Ingredients:
Hot water – about 50ml
Epsom Salt – approximately 4-5 tablespoonfuls (I keep on adding the salt to the water for as long as it dissolves – usually 5 tblsp)
White Petroleum Jelly – 5-6 tblsp
Natural Cocoa Butter Cream – 2-3 tblsp

Start by adding the salt into the hot water and boiling it
for a few minures (make sure the salt is dissolved), then add
the Petroleum jelly and mix it in.
Once you get a white, creamy mixture,add some cocoa butter cream and mix again.

And that's it. You get approximately 250 – 350 ml cream.

A few drops of lavender oil if you like a scented cream.

Put it in a container a leave in a cool place for it to set.

The ingredients are quite cheap and I have found that it works really
well. It is probably more greasy than the commercially available ones because of the petroleum jelly, but if you don't use the jelly the lotion is too thin and won't rub in properly.

Also one other tip is to use an old saucepan for this because it is difficult
to get the smell from the pan once you've used it for this.

I hope this helps for anyone like me who has difficulty sourcing the
commercial lotion.
