Can geranium be used to treat itchy feet?

Geranium (Herb of Crane's-bill) is commonly used to treat itchy feet. However, it is important to use the medication under the guidance of a physician. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow medical advice for treatment.

Geranium possesses certain antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. For itchy feet caused by fungal infections, appropriate external application or foot soaking with Geranium may provide some relief. Additionally, Geranium can clear heat and detoxify, remove dampness, and relieve itching. For foot itching caused by eczema or mild skin inflammation, using Geranium may help alleviate symptoms.

When symptoms such as itching and peeling occur on the feet, soaking feet with Geranium can effectively alleviate these discomforts. If the feet are affected by cold invasion, resulting in joint pain, swelling, and other discomforts, soaking feet with Geranium can also help expel cold from the body and relieve these symptoms. Moreover, Geranium also has various other effects, including clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, strengthening the spleen and stimulating the appetite, and astringing to stop bleeding.

Although soaking feet with Geranium has certain therapeutic effects on symptoms like itchy feet, not all cases of foot itching are suitable for treatment with Geranium. Pregnant women and women during their menstrual period should avoid soaking feet with Geranium to prevent bodily discomfort.
