This “treasure” of a remedy is a “secret” used by many to soothe the pain of a protruding bone (often called a bunion) and soften the “hard” bump on the foot. The combination of bay leaves and iodine is a powerful “shock” for inflammation, as it helps dissolve the salt deposits that often make the bone feel “stiff” and painful. By mixing these with sea salt and oil, you create a medicinal “wrap” that helps “straighten” the feeling of the foot by reducing the surrounding swelling.
This recipe is a “smart” and economical way to find relief at home without jumping straight to surgery. It works by “warming” the joint and improving blood flow to the area, which helps the body “reabsorb” the fluid and inflammation around the bump. Once you use this “golden oil” for a few weeks, you will be “amazed” at how much “flatter” and more comfortable your foot feels in your shoes.
Why This Foot Remedy is a Walking Miracle
- Dissolves Salt Deposits: The bay leaves and iodine work together to “break down” the calcification around the joint.
- Erases Deep Inflammation: It acts like a “fire extinguisher” for the redness and throbbing pain of the protruding bone.
- Softens the “Bump”: The sunflower oil and salt “tenderize” the hard skin and tissue, making it more flexible.
- Natural Antiseptic: The iodine acts as a “shield” against bacteria while drawing out toxins from the skin.
- Improves Mobility: By “loosening” the tightness, it allows your big toe to move more “freely,” helping it stay in a straighter position.
Recipe for the Bay Leaf and Iodine “Bone Smoother”
This is the smartest way to prepare the oil so it becomes a “potent” medicine for your feet.
Ingredients:
- 15 Bay Leaves (Crushed into small pieces)
- 100ml Sunflower Oil
- 1 tablespoon Sea Salt
- 1 tablespoon Iodine (The liquid version from the pharmacy)
Instructions:
- The Mix: Place the crushed bay leaves, sunflower oil, and sea salt into a glass jar.
- The Infuse: Close the jar and keep it in a dark, warm place for 10 days. Every day, give it a “shake” to mix the minerals.
- The Activation: After 10 days, strain the oil and add the 1 tablespoon of iodine. Stir until the color is deep and even.
- The Prep: Before applying, soak your feet in warm water with a little baking soda for 15 minutes to “open” the pores.
- The Application: Massage the oil into the bump and the bone using firm, circular motions for 5 minutes.
- The Wrap: Cover the area with a cotton cloth and put on a clean sock.
- The Routine: Use this every night before bed for 15 days straight to see a “shocking” difference.
Recipe for the “Bay Leaf Foot Soak”
For the best results, use this “liquid treasure” before you apply the oil.
Ingredients:
- 5 Bay Leaves
- 1 liter of Water
- 1 tablespoon of Salt
Instructions:
- The Boil: Boil the bay leaves and salt in the water for 5 minutes.
- The Soak: Let it cool until it is “pleasantly warm” and soak your feet for 20 minutes.
- The Magic: This “primes” the bone to absorb the iodine oil much deeper.
Three Tips for Success with Foot Bumps
- Wear Wide Shoes: While using this remedy, give your feet “breathing room.” Tight shoes will “undo” the work of the medicine by pushing the bone back out.
- Be Patient: Bones and joints take time to “relax.” You will feel the pain leave in the first week, but the “straightening” look takes at least a month of care.
- The “Iodine” Secret: Iodine can stain! Always wear an old sock over your treatment to keep your “bedsheets” clean and white.
