Ouch... A thorn in the finger or under the foot is often a trial.
Not only is it painful, but it's hard to remove...
...especially if it is deeply embedded in the skin!
Fortunately, there is an easy trick to help you deal with this thorny problem;-)
Grandma's remedy is to soak the skin in hot salt water to bring out the thorn . Watch:
1. Dip your finger or foot in warm water to soften the skin where the thorn is.
2. Add a tablespoon of coarse salt to the hot water.
3. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes to bring up the thorn.
4. Burn the tip of a tweezer or a needle to disinfect it.
5. Gently extract the thorn that has started to protrude from the skin.
There you go, you removed the thorn from your finger :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Salt and hot water will soften the skin and bring out the thorn in just a few minutes.
If you can't see the thorn, because it's invisible and you think it's impossible to remove, try this trick and you'll be surprised!
Once the thorn from the finger or foot has been removed, remember to disinfect the wound.
Whether it's a thorn from a cactus, sea urchin, rosebush, bramble, this trick is just as effective!
