While these hard formations that collect around the big toe look to be bone, they are in actuality salt deposits that harden around the joint and slowly push the big toe inward and shift the other toes. Caused by wide range of factors, including flue, gout, diet, metabolism, and even poor choice of footwear, bunions can begin to put pressure on sensitive areas of the foot. This can begin to change the way you walk and also change your taste in heels or even sneakers.

One of the major reasons why the overgrowth of salt on the joint leads to pain and continues to grow is because you are continuously feeding the body salt. If you turn your body into the Aegean Sea and you have a high sodium diet, you will notice not just swelling of the hands and feet, but also a lot more joint pain in your foot that has been blessed with a bunion. To rid your body of salt, all you need to is drink a natural concoction. Here is how it’s made:

Ingredients

• 300 ml of water
• tbsp of minced bay leaf

Directions

Mix together the water and bay leaf and cook in an enameled pot for 5 minutes. Put the cooked concoction in a thermos and let it sit overnight. Strain the drink and then take small sips all throughout the day to cleanse the body. Do this for 3 days straight by preparing a fresh concoction each night. After 7 days, repeat the treatment for 3 more days. If you are urinating frequently, this shows that the salt is dissolving and your joint pain should disappear.

A Paste to Make Bunions Disappear

If you are looking for more of a topical paste to use, there are natural ingredients that can be mixed that will relief pain and even erase the growth. The purpose is to smear the paste on the bunions to fight the deposits on contact.

Ingredients:

• 5 large bay leaves
• 3 liters of water

This paste takes an entire week to get right. Mix the bay leaves and the alcohol together and let them sit at room temperature for 1 week in a dry room.
