Peppermint<\/a> to the water if you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you have corns and\/or calluses, after soaking your feet gently remove the callus or corn with a pumice stone, Hindu stone, or emery board. But remember, calluses and corns will go away on their own if proper care is given, i.e. comfortable shoes are worn, the feet soaked periodically and oiled after wards, and\/or massaged (reflexology).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make sure you get your feet measured annually because as the older you become, the more your feet can grow and thus affecting the size of shoes you wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you simply MUST wear high-heeled shoes with pointy toes, buy the shoes one-half size larger to make room for your feet as they swell. This little trick is used by fashion insiders, and allows them to wear high heels for hours pain free. Also buy high-heeled shoes at the end of the day when your feet are swollen. This simple strategy helps to keep bunions at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To naturally reduce the swelling, redness, and inflammation of a bunion, oil the bunioned toe (actually, all the toes) with a good botanical oil such as olive, coconut, grape seed, or almond, and massage essential oil of Wintergreen, Peppermint, and\/or Spearmint oil into the toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you like, you can get your feet waxed periodically with paraffin wax. Hot wax treatment can greatly help with swelling of the feet and toes. Hot wax machines are pretty economical and can be purchased at department stores or stores such as Bed, Bath, and Beyond.<\/p>\n
