</em>Our feet have 250,000 sweat glands and can produce as much as 4 ounces of perspiration in a single day. Dusting your soles once or twice a day with a deodorizing powder will help to keep them dry and healthy. Calendula, or pot marigold, contains antibacterial properties, perfect for use in this soothing, deodorizing foot powder.</p>
