In the evening, before going to bed, follow this little cocooning ritual:
- Soak your feet in a basin of very hot water (about 3 liters) , to which you have added a tablespoon of baking soda . This action prepares the skin and relaxes accumulated tension.
- Dry your feet thoroughly with a soft towel .
- Gently apply the bay leaf lotion to the affected area using a soaked cotton pad .
- Then put on a pair of cotton socks to retain warmth and aid absorption.
This treatment won’t make the bunion disappear, but it can significantly relieve pain and improve skin suppleness in the area. Repeat regularly for greater comfort!
And what do we do in terms of prevention?

At the same time, it’s essential to adopt some good habits. Choose flexible, round-toed shoes with a moderate heel (2 to 3 cm maximum) . Orthopedic insoles can also do wonders for rebalancing posture. And don’t hesitate to do some foot flexibility exercises , such as grabbing a towel with your toes or walking barefoot on sand or a pebble mat.
Because after all, our feet carry us every day… They deserve to be taken care of.
What if comfort finally found its place in your favorite shoes?
