GOING BAREFOOT
As old as humanity
venous pumping effect is greater. This is
important for the circulation and therefore,
the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the
cells.
Serious barefoot walkers swear that there is nothing better for foot health. Before civilisation started enclosing the
feet and bedding them on shoes, going barefoot was normal. But humans have forgotten it. Even worse: Over time,
various myths and errors arose about it.
feet. But the epidermis or sole skin must not
be equated to callus, which is often erroneously done. Callus usually forms due to friction and pressure, e.g. due to incorrectly
fitting shoes or wrongly applied strain. This
protective layer has no circulation and can
be easily removed.

Barefoot walkers seldom have a problem
with callus. Going barefoot activates the
“foot intelligence”. This means that the perception for the foot and what is underneath
it increases. In this way, malpositions or
unpleasant strains are immediately equalised. Dangers are more likely to lie in objects
lying around, such as glass shards or nails,
and hitting the feet on edges and corners.
Those who regularly walk barefoot don‘t mind various types of ground such as stones or fir
needles. It is also healthy for the skin of the feet.
The Empress Elisabeth who was known as
Sissi bothered her entire court. She liked
going barefoot so much that she repeatedly
ignored official habits. After the Spanish
ceremony, for instance, an empress had to
wear a different pair of shoes for every festive occasion at court. But her urge to go
barefoot followed an entirely natural impulse.
Here as well, though, a practiced barefoot
walker is at lesser risk, since the feet are
automatically lifted higher when walking,
and the roll which follows does a better job
of pressure distribution. On the other hand,
higher risks to foot health are associated
with wearing improperly fitting shoes. This
can cause foot problems such as bent,
sunk or spread feet as well as hallux valgus
or heel spur.
Through the stubble field
More susceptible to diseases
She would have liked to do what seems impossible to many people and therefore became a myth: “As a child, I ran across a
stubble field. I can no longer do that now.”
This is incorrect. While children’s feet naturally have a thicker epidermis and the bones
are not yet fully formed, adults can also
regain the natural protective skin of their
It is said that barefoot walkers get more
bladder and kidney inflammation, but this is
also untrue. These disorders are caused by
viruses and bacteria. They are permanently
in our bodies and are kept at bay by the
immune system. If it is weak, illness can
develop. Walking barefoot tends to
strengthen the immune system, since the
The same effect also prevents cold feet,
which allegedly occur when barefoot. Of
course the lower extremities can freeze on
cold days or in snow. But the body automatically counteracts this with more movement, increasing the described venous
pumping effect to produce warmth.
Warts and foot fungus
The opinion that barefoot walking increases
the risk of foot fungus is also stubbornly
maintained. Fungi grow best in dark,
wind-protected and humid, warm climates.
The risk areas therefore include e.g. baths
or swimming pools. If fungi are picked up
while walking there and enclosed into socks
and shoes, this increases the risk of infection - especially if the skin barrier is weakened, allowing microbes to penetrate more
easily.
Two effects provide protection when walking
barefoot. On the one hand, the foot is permanently ventilated, preventing a warm,
humid climate from predominating, and on
the other hand, it strengthens the skin barrier
which protects against microbes penetrating
the deeper skin layers. In this way, the skin
also protects against other dangers, such
as viruses which are responsible for warts.
Many myths and errors can therefore be refuted. Those who want to encourage a natural gait and do more barefoot walking
again need patience. It can take a year to
strengthen the skin of the foot soles and get
used to being able to walk without footwear
almost anywhere: an investment which
pays off in the long term.
ASKED ABOUT...
Some time ago, my toenails acquired an unpleasant yellow discolouration. I wear nail polish to hide it. What can be the cause?
Gertraud Greininger, Landshut
Toenails with a yellowish discolouration
can have various causes, which are often
not due to a lack of care. I recommend
that my patients should first see a dermatologist, especially if the cause is still
unclear. Aside from external influences,
diseases such as psoriasis or fungal nail
infection (onychomycosis) may be involved. In the latter, the nail is initially
blunt and lacks shine. The nail bed gradually acquires a yellowish discolouration,
and the callus under the nail compacts.
Finally, the nail becomes cracked and brittle,
and the fungus destroys it over time.
Nail fungus is treated both internally and
externally with medications such as tablets
and tinctures. But the therapy requires consistency and patience. Depending on the
nail affliction, six to 18 months may pass
until a new nail has grown out. Foot care
pros support the recommended therapy
with proper treatment.
Coloured nail polishes are often another,
harmless cause of yellowish discolouration.
Here, it is recommended to apply a colourless undercoat of polish before applying
coloured polish. To get rid of the nuisance
discolouration, some of my patients swear
by rubbing it with lemon juice or vinegar
water. I recommend a diet which is rich in
vitamins and minerals and care matched to
the nails to maintain healthy nails. This, for
example, can be done using the GEHWOL
FUSSKRAFT Nail and Skin Protection
Spray. It improves the elasticity and stability
of the nail, supports its regeneration, and
protects against fungal affliction and discolouration with selected ingredients.

AVOIDING PRESSURE SPOTS AND ULCERS
Wrong shoes are often the
cause
Our feet are among the most stressed parts of the body. The entire bodyweight is on the foot soles with every step. Badly fitting shoes can quickly
result in unpleasant surprises, such as pressure spots and wounds. Diabetics
in particular constantly hear: Pay attention to your feet...and your shoes!
Healthy people usually notice pressure
spots and injuries on the feet relatively
quickly because they hurt. Diabetics are
more susceptible to foot problems due to
their illness. Undiscovered and untreated
pressure spots can quickly develop into
ulcers in them. In the majority of cases,
the reason is nerve damage (polyneuropathy), which is triggered by diabetes. This
makes the feet insensitive to pain, pressure and temperature. The skin on the feet
often has less circulation and is drier, callused and brittle. If the function of the skin
nerves is disturbed, the gait may also
change. This puts more strain on particular areas on the foot soles. This may result
in callus weals, since the callus thickens in
response to the
strain. The untreated weal, in
turn, intensifies the influence of pressure on the
underlying tissues. Finally, there is a risk of
a wound forming.
Diabetic feet at special risk
According to the current GEHWOL Diabetes Report, many diabetics do not even
know that they have to give special attention to their feet. And: Too few pay attention
to well-fitting shoes and socks. There are
signs on the shoes which indicate that they
are the wrong ones: a worn inner liner, soles
and heels which are worn off at an angle,
but also traces of secretions. If in doubt, an
orthopaedic shoemaker should assess the
shoes for a correct fit.
Since weals increase pressure on the subdermal tissues, pressure relief measures
also include good,
regular foot and callus care. This is
important, and not
just for diabetics.
To keep the shoe from squeezing…
it should have the right size: not too
tight, not too pointed, sufficiently wide
and long, with a wide entry. There
should also be space in the shoe to put
in insoles if required.
the heels should not be too high
(women: max. 4 centimetres, men:
max. 3 centimetres).
t he material should be made from
actively breathing, soft leather and
have no sharp eyes, interfering seams
and other uneven areas.
socks which are not too tight or constrictive should be worn. Preference
should be given to socks made from
actively breathing cotton without inside
seams. Pull them tight so that they fit
without wrinkles.
Well cared...
This includes daily foot inspection and care
at home, but also visits to a foot expert.
Foot care professionals can competently
advise their patients and recognise changes
in the skin and nails early on. Excess callus
is also properly removed. To keep the feet
nicely supple and resistant, it is recommended to apply a foot care product to dry
skin once and very dry skin twice daily. This,
for example, can be done using the GEHWOL FUSSKRAFT Hydrolipid Lotion. The
lotion balances out the lack of fats (lipids)
and moisture and helps to restore the skin’s
natural barrier function.
new shoes should ideally be bought in
the early afternoon, when the feet have
been „walked warm“, but have not yet
- as in the evening - swelled too much.
Always break in new shoes well, and
specifically examine the feet for redness and pressure spots in this phase.
it should be tied so that it gives a sufficient hold, but does not generate any
painful pressure spots..
the feet should be kept dry, for damp
skin softens and becomes more sensitive. Also, ventilate and change the
shoes daily.

the heel. They are very skin friendly, form
fitting and adapt to any foot shape. Professional pressure relief is also provided by so
called silicone orthotics. The podologist or
medical foot care pro makes them individually. Orthopaedic insoles and custom
shoe adaptations for confectionery shoes
(e.g. in the form of rolling aids and added
sole rigidity) and, when necessary, customised special made-to-measure footwear is
provided by an orthopaedic shoemaker. A
pressure measurement or gait analysis
helps to find out whether strain is being
wrongly applied to the feet to ensure an
optimal fit.

Polymer gel pressure relief articles from GEHWOL can protect sensitive feet to avoid or
equalise pressure spots. For instance, the
soft, highly elastic cushions provide walking
relief to those suffering from hammer or ball
toes (hallux valgus) or from corns. Similar
cushions also protect the frontal foot and
WHAT IS…
Vitamins are healthy. We learn this
as children. But they not only render
us more vital and protect us from
illness. They also get our skin in
shape. Vitamin E is one of the most
important vitamins for skin fitness.
E.g. wheat germ oil is an excellent
supplier of Vitamin E for the skin.
Wheat germ oil has the highest Vitamin E
content. 100 grams of the oil contain 185.0
milligrams of Vitamin E. A comparison: The
daily requirements of an adult woman between 19 and 65 years of age is specified at
12 milligrams by the German Association
for Diet [Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung = DGE]. The requirements are
slightly higher for men. One thing is certain:
Humans cannot form this important vitamin
Vitamin E protects the cells
Vitamin E’s most important job is to protect
us against aggressive substances, the socalled free radicals. These are molecules
with a missing electron in their chemical
structure. They attack cell components in
their search for the missing building block.
Each cell is attacked by such radicals about
10,000 times per day. This may significantly
interfere with cell function in the long term.
Vitamin E provides protection against this.
The fat soluble vitamin is embedded into
the cell membrane, where it effectively prevents the free radicals, which are produced
particularly under UV light, from docking.
The destruction of the unsaturated fatty
acids in the cell wall by the radicals is an
oxidative process, so that Vitamin E is also
called an antioxidant. Finally, its cell-protecting effect is the reason why preventive
significance is ascribed to the vitamin in so
many fields. For instance, medicine links it
to protection against stroke, myocardial
infarction, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s
and Alzheimer’s.
Vitamin E for healthier skin
Since free radicals also attack the skin cells
in the same manner, Vitamin E also has important care effects. It protects skin cells
and simultaneously increases the skin’s collagen content. Vitamin E helps to tighten the
skin, regulates its moisture household, and
lends it a fresh, vital, more youthful appearance. Cosmetic products may contain Vitamin E as part of the oil phase (e.g. wheat
germ oil in GEHWOL med Nail and Skin Protection Oil or Cream) or as a synthetic derivative (Vitamin E acetate, e.g. in GEHWOL
FUSSKRAFT Soft Feet Lotion). fotolia | HLPhoto

themselves. It is only formed by plants, so
that a balanced, Vitamin E-rich diet is necessary to cover daily requirements. Therefore plant oils such as wheat germ oil or
sunflower oil should not be absent in the
kitchen, just like nuts and certain kinds of
vegetables, e.g. green cabbage, salsify or
peppers.
In the kitchen, wheat germ oil provides delicious flavour and lends the skin a more vital
appearance.

Der Chiemsee, Deutschlands drittgrößter Binnensee, ist ein wahres Naturjuwel. Um ihn herum finden Besucher nicht nur Moore, Almen und idyllische Landschaften, sondern auch authentisches Brauchtum. Die wohl
bekannteste Sehenswürdigkeit ist das von Ludwig II. errichtete Schloss Herrenchiemsee auf der Herreninsel.
Einen Besuch wert ist ebenso das Augustiner-Chorherrenstift (Altes Schloss). Als
Ludwig II. 1873 die Insel als Standort für
sein neues Schloss erwarb, richtete er im
sogenannten Konventstock (Ostflügel) der
Klosteranlage Privaträume ein, die bei einem Museumsrundgang besichtigt werden
können. Auch die Werke der Chiemseemaler sind dort ausgestellt. Im Speisezimmer
konzipierte darüber hinaus damals der Verfassungskonvent 1948 das Grundgesetz
der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Mit dem Rad um den See
Es waren Mönche und Nonnen, die sich als
Erste in die traumhafte Region rund um den
82 Quadratkilometer großen Chiemsee verliebt hatten. Die Nonnen lebten bereits im
7. Jahrhundert auf der Fraueninsel, die
Mönche siedelten sich wenig später auf der
Herreninsel an. Die Benediktinerinnen des
Klosters Frauenwörth fertigen noch heute
per Hand eine Köstlichkeit an: das „süße
Gold“. Dabei handelt es sich um Marzipan,
das ohne Konservierungsstoffe mit einem
Schuss Chiemsee-Kräuterlikör hergestellt
wird. Die Fraueninsel ist ein ganz besonderes Kleinod ohne Verkehrslärm. Auch als
die „Insel der Maler“ bezeichnet, ist sie mit
ihren ungefähr 300 Bewohnern eine der ältesten Künstlerkolonien Europas.

Idylle, Kunst und Steckerlfisch
Wie im Märchen: Schloss Herrenchiemsee,
erbaut nach dem Vorbild von Versailles.
Auf der Fraueninsel lohnt sich ein Spaziergang durch das pittoreske Fischerdorf.
Dort laden Biergärten, eine traditionelle Inseltöpferei und 1.000 Jahre alte Linden zum
Verweilen ein. Ein bequemer Uferweg führt
in 20 Minuten einmal rund um die Insel. Eigenes Bier wird hier übrigens auch noch
gebraut. Ein Schmankerl für den Gaumen
ist der Steckerlfisch, traditionell eine gefangene Renke oder Brachse aus dem See.
Der Fischer bestreicht dazu den ausge-
nommenen Fisch mit einer Marinade aus
Öl, Gewürzen und Knoblauch und spießt
ihn der Länge nach auf lange Holzstöcke.
Anschließend grillt er ihn über der Holzkohlenglut. Rund 30 Fischarten tummeln sich
noch im Chiemsee, der als einer der saubersten Seen Deutschlands gilt.
Mit dem Schiff zum Schloss
Ganzjährig bringt die Chiemsee-Schifffahrt
Besucher von den Häfen Prien/Stock und
Gstadt auf die Frauen- und Herreninsel
oder auch rund um den See. Im Sommer
werden noch weitere Orte am Chiemsee
angesteuert. Auf der Herreninsel liegt das
wohl bekannteste Ausflugsziel des Chiemgaus, das Schloss Herrenchiemsee. Es
wurde von König Ludwig II. von Bayern erbaut und ist von einem weitläufigen Park
mit Brunnen- und Gartenanlagen umgeben. Wer dorthin nicht laufen mag, kann
auch bequem mit der Kutsche fahren. In
Radfahrer können den Chiemsee an einem
Tag auf einer Strecke von 60 Kilometern
umrunden und genießen dabei den freien
Blick auf See und Berge. Für Segelfreunde
ist er ein Eldorado. Doch nicht nur die erholsame Berg- und Seeluft, sondern auch
das reichliche Vorkommen an natürlichen
Heilmitteln wie Moor, Schwefelthermalwasser, Jodthermalsole und Naturheilverfahren
wie die Kneippkur zeichnen die Region
rund um den Chiemsee aus. Nicht zu vergessen ist auch die Nähe zu den über 60
bewirtschafteten Almen, die das Herz vieler
Wanderer höherschlagen lassen.

GEHWOL FRONTAL FOOT CUSHION G
Get rid of the heaviness!
Did you know? High heels make for slender
legs, but often sick feet as well. 7.5 cm of
heel height are already enough to apply 75
percent of the entire bodyweight to the
fragile frontal foot. This stress test quickly
becomes a painful affair with nasty consequences. When the foot statics lose their
stable standard shape, spread, bent and
sunk foot threaten. Before this occurs, it is
time to give the frontal foot effective relief
at the first painful signs. Foot specialists
have the right products for this. But the
starting idea for their manufacture comes
from Buenos Aires, Argentina. There, national
foot care pioneer SUAVEPIE (English: “Soft
Foot”) makes the frontal foot cushion G in
the GEHWOL pressure relief series. Its
material and the way in which it is processed make this cushion a useful helper.
The cushion is made from polymer gel, an
elastic synthetic whose pores are filled with
fluid. The cushion is able to absorb pressure peaks and, owing to its variable forming
abilities, distribute them evenly in all directions, away from the frontal foot. The process, in turn, offers decisive advantages for
wearing comfort. Exclusively to GEHWOL
and the German market, polymer gel is pro-

duced in a special injection moulding process. That is, the material is cast in one
piece in a form precisely imitating the anatomical dimensions of the foot. This, for
instance, also makes it possible to
strengthen the cushion at the pressure

the cushion from slipping while wearing it. PREISRÄTSEL
