A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, causing the toe to lean inward. Bunions can be painful and worsen over time if left untreated. Here are some effective home remedies for bunions that can help manage symptoms and prevent the condition from worsening.
1. Wear Proper Footwear - Choose wide-toe shoes with good arch support.Avoid high heels or pointed shoes that squeeze the toes.
2. Apply Ice Packs - Use ice for 15–20 minutes at a time.Helps reduce swelling, inflammation, and pain after long periods of standing or walking.
3. Use Bunion Pads or Cushions - Available at most pharmacies.Provide a protective barrier between the bunion and your shoe, reducing friction.
4. Foot Exercises and Stretches - Help maintain flexibility and strength:Flex and extend your toes for 5–10 seconds.Spread toes apart and hold for a few seconds.Pick up a towel with your toes to strengthen foot muscles.
5. Warm Soaks and Epsom Salt Baths - Soak your feet in warm water with Epsom salt to relieve soreness.Great for relaxing the muscles and reducing pain.
