Bunions are large bony bumps caused by abnormal growth of the inner portion of the joint at the base of the big toe. Bunions are salt deposits and the formation can be triggered by the flu, tonsillitis, gout, poor metabolism, improper nutrition, rheumatic infection, or by wearing uncomfortable shoes.
Bunions are a real “NIGHTMARE” for those who have them and getting rid of them can be even worse.
Here are some natural remedies you can use to relieve yourself of these annoying bunions.
Olive Oil
Warm some olive oil and massage the bunion and your entire foot for about fifteen minutes twice a day. The massage enhances circulation and increases blood flow to the foot and toes and encourages the synovial fluid to move around the bones. This movement of the synovial fluid will lubricate the joints, dissolving the outer layers of excess calcium, gradually diminishing the size of the bunion.

Red Pepper
Red pepper is full of capsaicin which eliminates the nerves of the compounds that cause pain and discomfort. Cut one red pepper in half and rub its juice directly onto the bunion. Smear a tiny bit of petroleum jelly on the top of the bunion and tie a clean cloth gauze over like a bandage. Repeat two times a day.

Apply the pepper on a small area of the skin first to make sure it does not irritate the skin. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after each application.
Castor Oil
Castor oil is full of anti-inflammatory properties which are very effective in reducing the swelling and diminishing pain. Put half a cup of castor oil in a pan and heat it until it is warm. Dip a thin cotton cloth into the oil and wrap the cloth around the bunion. Cover the compress with a towel so that the heat cannot escape. The heat will stimulate blood flow to the area that is affected. This will relieve soreness. Repeat three times a day until the pain is gone.

Turmeric
Turmeric is good to be treated for bunions as it is a good component for curcumin which blocks the ability of pain and reduces the inflammation. It is used as orally and topically.
1. For topical use, make a paste of ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder and a little olive oil. Apply it directly on your bunion. Repeat 2 or 3 times daily for several days.
2. For oral use, stir 1 teaspoon of turmeric in a glass of lukewarm water or milk and drink it twice daily.
3. Take 2 ½ t. (400 mg) of curcumin capsule 3 times a day. Consult your doctor before starting.
Chamomile
Chamomile is an effective and a famous remedy for herbal which provides relief from the bunion. It contains inflammatory properties which reduces the inflammation and pain. It helps in the shrinking of bunions.
Some of these remedies can also be tried.
1. Brew a cup of tea using a chamomile tea bag and sip it while it is still warm. Also, put the used tea bag directly on your bunion. Use this home treatment 3 or 4 times a day.
2. Massage the affected area with chamomile essential oil mixed in a carrier oil every night before going to bed. This will help improve the alignment of the toe.
3. Apply it with some kind of natural ointment (check ingredients) which may contain chamomile so that inflammation and pain may be reduced.
Massage
Massaging the affected area daily is a popular way to alleviate as well as prevent this problem. This therapeutic method helps increase blood circulation to the area and provides relief from the general discomforts.
Regular massage will even reduce the size of the bunion and make the affected area less susceptible to corns and calluses.
Rub some warm castor, olive, or coconut oil on the affected area. Using your fingers, do deep-friction massage for 10 minutes. Repeat 2 or 3 times daily.
Oral
Pour 10 oz. (300 ml) of water over a tablespoon of crushed bay leaves. Cook for five minutes and keep the solution in a thermos overnight. Strain the liquid and take small sips throughout the day. It is important to remember not to drink this remedy all at once.

Do this every day for three days. Make sure you make a fresh drink each day. Repeat the treatment after a week. You might notice that you will have to urinate more frequently. This is normal and shows that the salt in your body is dissolving.
You should notice an improvement after ten days. Joint pain will begin to disappear and you will begin to feel much better.
