Alternative Therapies

1. Use milk to heal blisters. A milk compress is good for relieving the pain of a blister. Soak a towel in cool milk and apply it to the blister for 15 minutes and repeat as often as required. Applying a cool milk compress within the first 24 hours to a blister can reduce the inflammation that causes pain. And the protein in milk also promotes healing.

2. Exercise releases the same feel-good endorphins that sugar does. People who work out regularly also binge less and have fewer cravings, because they get their endorphin rush through exercise. So here’s reason no. 101 to start exercising.

3. Choose proper socks for your feet because loose socks can cause blisters while tight ones can lead to ingrown toe-nails and toe-cramps. Socks should snug around your foot and heel but roomy in the toe to allow for flexing.
