Tuesday, June 03, 2008Epsom Salts
As children, we didn't wear shoes in summer. The thought was foreign to us from the time school ended in late April until it began again in September.
The result of such wear and tear on our feet was many stubbed toes and other painful things like throrns and thistles pricking our tough, calloused feet bottoms.
The worst was stepping on a nail and puncturing the sole of my foot. For this, my mother insisted on soaking the foot in hot Epsom Salt water every day, several times a day until the hole healed. It is very effective in promoting healing in puncture injuries, as well as really cleaning the wound.
