Redolence’s caused by sweat or other reasons are a negativity that occasionally leads to great problems, especially in the sociocultural field. Multitudinous people associate sweaty feet with just being functional in the heat. While this is true, in some cases people substantiation problems with sweaty feet in the time out when wearing excessively warm boots that have insufficient ventilation, extremely thick socks, or a combination of both. Also, some people just have sweaty feet due to surcharged sweat glands, also known as hyperhidrosis. This condition affects the feet and hands and can affect in annoying problems associated with foot health. This disease can beget discomfort, rash, and itching. They can also lead to further complications, alike as foot pain, open blisters, infection, and thickened toenails. Sweaty feet are an agent in the excrescence of foot fungus, fungal toenails, and athlete’s foot. The sweat generated in the skin is directly absorbed by the cloth. Based on the fiber type, the intercourse between textile and sweat molecules creates an odor on the textile. Foot infections are usual because foot injuries are usual. The ground is full of troubles and sharp objects, which can pierce the skin and produce an occasion for bacteria to enter the body. Plus, some microorganisms, like the bacteria that causes athlete’s foot and toenail fungus, flourish in this atmosphere, and some conditions may increase the threat of foot infection. Wearing socks and shoes for longer time can produce a moist atmosphere, where bacteria and fungi can flourish that lead to eventual infections like Nail fungus, Athlete’s foot etc. Another problem faced by people from wearing socks is redolence, it is caused by wearing it for longer period. Smelly socks are socks that have acquired a strong odor due to prolonged wearing. Although the odor of smelly socks is frequently associated with feet, it arises independently of contact with human feet in various foodstuffs such as dairy products, and is naturally present in several plants The smell has also been noted in building and automotive air treatment systems, where it is described as "jock socks odor" or "dirty socks syndrome". Using socks made of Merino wool which absorbs the sweat and finished with chamomile aroma oil prevents the redolence’s. Chamomile has an anti-bacterial property. This article aims to develop a sock using Matricaria chamomilla, commonly known as chamomile. This flower is renowned for its sugary fragrance and anti-bacterial properties. It prevents the redolence’s in socks during summer.
