Common questions about foot health

Why is good foot health so important for the body's overall well-being?

  • Your feet should take you the equivalent of four laps around the earth in your lifetime. With every step you take, you load your foot with twice your body weight. And when you run, the foot is loaded with six times your body weight!
  • Various problems in the feet propagate in the body and affect the entire anatomy of the body. Many people who seek medical attention for pain, injuries and limitations in the musculoskeletal system have problems caused by pain in the feet.
  • The feet's enormous number of sweat glands also make the feet the body's most important valve.

What are the most important steps for good foot health?

  • Wash your feet thoroughly every day with soap.
  • Dry thoroughly after washing, especially between the toes.
  • Do not use cream between the toes as it should be as dry as possible there to avoid infection.
  • Do not use the same shoes every day to avoid improper loading and the possibility of fungus taking hold in the shoes.
  • Cut the toenails straight and lightly file the corners.
  • Bathe your feet in the BIOpH medical foot bath a couple of times a week to keep your feet free of fungus, calluses, cracks or dry feet.

What is important to consider for good foot health before the summer?

  • Actually, the same advice as above applies, but you may need more frequent foot baths as your feet are often worn more when you walk barefoot than usual.

Why is athlete's foot so common in athletes?

  • Most sports cause wear and tear on the feet and the need to enclose the feet in tight shoes or boots. This means an increased risk of athlete's foot.
  • In English, athlete's foot is called athlete's foot precisely because it is so common in athletes.

What should be considered before a treatment with BIOpH?

  • It is important to have a flexible football bag that is easy to stow away and easy to take out and carry filled with water. Preferably a tub that also keeps the heat
  • To really try to treat the feet once a day for the first week. Make it a nice moment for alone time or in front of the TV or with a cup of coffee and nice music
  • To protect any carpet or similar as spillage can cause stains on the carpet if it is allowed to remain
  • That the feet can be a little slippery right after the bath, so be careful not to slip right after the bath

How does BIOpH affect the environment?

  • BIOpH is completely biodegradable in nature, so you can pour it directly onto the lawn or down the toilet without a guilty conscience.
  • The product is completely vegan.
  • Since the product consists of a granule that becomes active when mixed with water, unnecessary transport of liquid is avoided.

Is BIOpH a safe product?

  • It has been on the market (pharmacy and medical podiatrists) since 2012. There is a long experience of loyal users who have used the product for many years. Clinical studies also confirm that the product does not cause side effects.

Is there clinical evidence that the product works?

  • Clinical studies show highly significant results on athlete's foot, calluses, cracks, dry feet and bad smell. In addition, studies show that the quality of life improves significantly in those who undergo the treatment.

Does the product also work for other problems such as foot warts and nail fungus?

  • There are many people who use the product for these problems with good results, but we have no regular clinical studies to prove this.

Do you have to supplement the treatment with BIOpH Footcare with other things?

  • Actually, it shouldn't be needed. But if you want to sand your feet after the bath, it is of course fine and can also speed up the effect. Lubricating the feet with a clean and high-quality cream (such as BIOpH Foot cream) is a pleasant experience for many.
  • How to avoid getting the fungus back?
  • Fungal spores are viable. Therefore, it is important to wash the socks in a detergent that also cleans at low temperatures (such as BIOpH Washing powder). If the socks are in the bin, the whole family can be infected. It is also important to spray the shoes with BIOpH Antifungal shoe spray to remove the spores from the shoes.
