Treatment for cracked heels (ayurvedic)

I got this recipe from one of my friends who had used it to heal her cracked heels. This is a very effective treatment. Continue this treatment till you feel confident about your heels. 

1. Take equal quantities of neem and raw turmeric and ground them into a paste using milk.
2. Scrap your heels of the dead skin cells and dirt as much as you possible. You can use a hard surface, say, a rough floor for this purpose. Beware! Don't overdo this and hurt yourself. 
3. Apply the paste to the affected area and let it dry.
4. Repeat this continuously for a few days till you feel your heels smooth. :)

1. Mix 1/2 cup of curry leaves to 1/2 cup of pure coconut oil and bring it to a boil.
2. Switch off the stove and let it cool to room temperature.
3. Apply this oil to your scalp and leave it overnight
4. Wash your hair preferably using green gram powder. If this is not available, you can use a mild shampoo.
