Loss of Sweat in Hands & Feet ( Primary Disability )<br />
Aim : Loss of sweat makes the skin dry and cracked. Such dry cracked skin is<br />
more prone to injury. The aim is to moisten and soften the skin so that it becomes<br />
soft and does not crack.<br />
Method : Soak the hands or feet in water <strong>for</strong> 20 minutes. Scrap off the callused<br />
skin with a any clean stone leaving a smooth surface. Soaking helps the skin to<br />
absorb water. With the hands / feet still wet, apply oil over the surface. Oil helps to<br />
keep the water in the skin.<br />
