Were you on your feet all day and now your dogs are barking? Or maybe there’s some weird ache around your ankles or shin area, and you need a little natural soothing. Here’s a healing vegetable for those achy feet.

Boil or roast a large turnip until it’s soft. Then mash it and spread half of it on a white cotton handkerchief. Spread the other half on another handkerchief. Apply the turnip mush to the bottoms of your bare feet, bandage them in place, and sit with your feet elevated for about half an hour. This “sole food” should draw out the pain and tiredness.
