Bay Leaf Infusion:
- Crush 5-10 dried bay leaves into small pieces.
- Boil them in 300 ml (about 1.25 cups) of water for 5 minutes.
- Let it sit overnight, then strain the mixture in the morning.
- Sip this infusion throughout the day for 3 days, then take a one-week break and repeat if needed.
Bay Leaf Compress:
- Make a bay leaf paste by blending the leaves with a small amount of water.
- Apply this paste directly onto the bunion.
- Wrap with a clean cloth and leave for 1-2 hours before rinsing.
- Repeat daily as needed for relief.
Bay leaves contain anti-inflammatory compounds that may help reduce swelling and provide some relief from bunion pain. However, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider before trying home remedies, especially for persistent pain or discomfort.
