What is the herbal way to take care of them?

Many people use vaseline ointment, mineral oil, Pam cooking spray, or vegetable oil on a daily basis for a couple of weeks. If the scales are very lifted up you may need to gently scrub them with a toothbrush and soap, thedn recoat the legs.

From what I have read, the approach is to smother them with Vaseline. Here is a link to Homemade "vaseline" made from beeswax and olive oil. http://www.littlehouseliving.com/homemade-vaseline.html I don't know anything about the homemade version, but it is not based on petroleum as is Vaseline.
