Remedy for splinter removal

Remove splinter from under fingernail.
( 2 Sep 2007)

Tips for splinter removal -

1. Just put the finger or the whole hand in a soap solution or gel for 10 minutes. Then try pressing out the splinter as the nail will become soft and slippery.

2. If it does not come out in this way, just take a homeopathic remedy called silicea 6c 5 pills 2 times daily for 3 days.


Pus will form and the splinter will pop out.

3. You can also dip your finger in hot water for a while; this will loosen the nail and will aid the splinter to come out.

4. Keep a tweezer ready to hold the edge of the splinter and remove it out, slowly and gently so that it does not break inside the nail.
