Being that it’s a natural antimicrobial, cinnamon can help kill bacteria that cause foot odor. If you have smelly feet, you can help banish the stink by creating a footbath made by steeping several bags of cinnamon tea in four to five cups of water. Wait for the mixture to cool and then pour into a basin big enough for both feet. Soak your feet in the footbath for about 15 to 20 minutes to help reduce foot odor.
Additionally, you can place dry cinnamon tea bags into stinky shoes to help absorb foot odor. Or you can purchase cinnamon shoe inserts, which are a store-bought alternative to the DIY method.
