Next time use DMSO. If done immediately, with DMSO you would not have the black and blue or swelling. Just be sure you didn't break any of the toes. Get well soon. Blessings.

Homeopathic Arnica 9C or 30C works great for bruises. It's my first choice. You can get it at most herb shops.

Thanks! It is getting over the initial trauma. I have started doing some foot exercises to keep blood flowing and prevent stiffness.

Thanks NN, I do always think of that song when needing the RICE treatment for an ouchie.

I am feeling astonishingly better. I think the oils do make a difference. And I've been drinking a variety of my herbal suntea's too. BUT, I will put off mowing the hayfield for a little longer.

oh poor foot! Sending love and Sympathy from my poor feet, they get it, they've been there!

also long-fingered klutzes Unite! I was a waitress and I did spill soup in the boss's wife's lap. And I did launch an entire large tray full of wine glasses onto the concrete floor in the kitchen. thankfully they were empty so no wine was mixed with the resulting sea of glass shards..

Oh, no. As a child I wiped out in a restaurant carrying a tray of food cafeteria style. It went everywhere. I was so embarrassed.

Yes, glad you’re talking LOVE into the boo-boos in addition to all the magnificent oils and remedies -- Birch for immediate pain relief, eh? Our feet bear so much for us and I’m sending all good thoughts for your foot healing. Sometimes these events open new doors and blessings in my experience. Thank you for sharing 💜
