Like a tree in a forest, the Cedar wood soaks and stores the "too much" moisture and evaporates after putting of the shoes.
Remedy for Foot Odor
Within the evolution of nature, the cedar wood tree became one of the most effective against vermins and fungal attacks - this antibacterial effect eliminates all microorganisms which are causing foot odor.
Remedy for Athlete's Foot
Medical Research showed, that sweaty feet will increase the occurrence of athletes foot by factor 4 - the antibacterial effect of cedar wood eliminates all fungal bacteria causing athletes foot.
Antibacterial
Biologists know that the cedar wood tree is an outstanding example to prevent vermins and fungal attacks by developing antibacterial wood. This antibacterial effect of the cedar wood makes our Insole so effective.

First of all: sweaty feet (medical: Bromhidrosis) are a wide-spread phenomenon. About 40% of the population are considered as concerned. Men are usually stronger, and/or more frequently affected than women.
The inclination to sweaty feet is often genetically/hormonally. The following causes can increase the intensity and frequency of sweaty feet:
Air-impermeable shoes
Socks from chemical fibres (e.g. nylon)
Not cleaning your feet and in particular the toe gaps thoroughly
Hormonal disturbances
Gout
Thyroid hyperactivity
Smoking
For persons concerned, sweaty feet are a very unpleasant disease. Fortunately this can be fought effectively and naturally with Zederna Insoles made from Cedarwood. Without chemistry.
What happens to sweaty feet and where comes the unpleasant smell from?
When having sweaty feet the horn layer of the skin is permanently in a humid atmosphere. It can swell and turn white, particularly between the toes. Thus, the natural balance of the skin will be disturbed. Partly itching arises and it smells of decomposed sweat (Bromhidrosis). This unpleasant smell develops, because the sweat decomposes cornea/callosity bacteria. This smell is often described as “cheesy” and rather unpleasant.
The unpleasant smell does not come from the sweat itself, but from decomposing bacteria. This is exactly where the Zederna Insole has its effect. The natural suction force of wood absorbs sweat effectively and the antibacterial characteristics of our special cedarwood make the smell-forming cornea/callosity bacteria innocuous.
Please note: Scientific studies proved that sweaty feet often lead to unpleasant athlete’s foot and even to nail fungus.
