Home remedies for swollen finger
- Warm 20 ml of sesame, mustard or coconut oil in a bowl and add 3 cloves of crushed garlic, 1/4th teaspoon of turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon of carom seeds powder and ¼ teaspoon of ginger powder. Do not let the oil boil and when garlic turns brown; apply to the swollen finger 3 times a day. All these ingredients cure the infection and repair the damaged cells.
- Add 3 to 4 drops of lemon juice to 1 glass of warm water and drink this 3 times a day.
- Try to reduce the intake or completely stop eating refined sugar, white flour and wheat till the swollen finger is cured.
- Crush some ice cubes and tie them in a piece of soft cotton cloth. Wrap it around your finger. This will help reduce swelling and pain.
- Make a paste of turmeric powder with water and apply it to the finger. Cover it with a piece of cotton and wash it gently with lukewarm water after 1 or 2 hours. Turmeric is a natural antiseptic and will cure the infection.
- Add some Epsom salt or normal salt to 1 cup of water. Boil it and soak your finger in it till the water becomes cool. This will reduce the pain and inflammation.
