How to Treat Corns With Natural Medicine

Corns are painful growths on the feet that develop when a callus begins to harden at the core. Corns are often caused by wearing ill fitting shoes, causing the bones of the toes to rub together or rub the edge of the inside of your shoes. Expensive over-the-counter and prescription treatments and even surgery are the traditional cures for corns; however, natural medicine can save you time, money and pain. Read on to learn how to treat corns with natural medicine.

Instructions

• 1

  Soak the affected foot in a bucket of warm water with 2 tbsp. of sea salts for ten minutes every morning. After soaking dry your feet thoroughly with a clean towel and massage mustard oil deep into the callus.

  Roast a fresh garlic clove until it is golden brown but not burnt. While the clove is still warm, press it gently until the outer shell breaks, freeing the garlic oil, and place it over the corn. Cover the clove and corn with an adhesive bandage and leave in place for the entire day. Repeat this natural medicine daily until the corn falls off.

  Combine 1 tsp. of aloe vera gel and 1/2 tsp. of turmeric to make a paste. Clean the affected area with tea tree oil and rub the medicine paste into the callus each night before bed. Cover the callus with an adhesive bandage and leave on overnight each night until the callus falls off. It is recommended that you wear a pair of old socks to bed as turmeric can stain your clothing and bed sheets.
