Corns

For the treatment of corns, Marigold used externally in the form of an infusion or in the form of crushed flowers was an old remedy for corns. Corns were also treated with castor oil to soften them and make them easier to remove.

Celandine juice applied to the corn and left to dry was thought to be effective. A mixture of apple juice, carrot juice and salt was also considered to relieve corns, as were crushed ivy leaves applied daily.
