If you’ve noticed a painful bump forming near your big toe or a bone starting to stick out, you’re not alone. These foot issues – often linked to bunions or joint inflammation – can cause discomfort and limit mobility. But there’s a natural remedy that may help loosen the bump and support joint comfort, using simple, safe ingredients. No pills, no invasive treatments – just a time-tested home blend.
What You’ll Need:
- 15 bay leaves (dried or fresh)
- 100 ml sunflower oil
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon iodine
Why These Ingredients?
- Bay leaves: Known for their anti-inflammatory properties, they support circulation and joint health.
- Sunflower oil: A light, absorbent oil that nourishes the skin and helps carry the active ingredients deep into tissue.
- Sea salt: Gently exfoliates and stimulates blood flow.
- Iodine: Traditionally used for bone and joint applications to reduce swelling and promote balance.
How to Prepare the Remedy:
Step 1 – Infuse the Oil
Crush the bay leaves lightly and place them in a small glass jar. Pour the sunflower oil over them, seal the jar, and let it sit in a warm place for 7 days. Shake gently once a day to release the active properties.
Step 2 – Add the Extras
After 7 days, strain out the bay leaves. Mix in 1 tablespoon of sea salt and 1 tablespoon of iodine. Stir well.
Step 3 – Apply
Rub the mixture gently on the bump or affected area every evening before bed. Massage for a few minutes, then cover the foot with a soft cloth or sock to let the remedy absorb overnight.
Helpful Tips:
- Use daily for at least 2–3 weeks for best results.
- Keep your feet warm and wear supportive footwear during the day.
- Stay consistent – gentle remedies need time but can be surprisingly effective.
Note: This remedy is not a cure for advanced bone conditions, but it may support comfort and reduce visible swelling. Always consult your doctor for persistent foot pain or deformity.
