TO THE MEDICAL COUNCIL: For frozen feet or chilblains, slice up some raw potatoes, sprinkle salt over them, let stand twelve hours, and bathe the parts with the brine formed by the salt with the water exuding from the potatoes. It is simple, but has been very successful in my hands.

Potato and Salt. Like onion juice, potato juice is also very rich in nutrients and these nutrients help the body in getting relief from the damaged blood vessels. The juice also helps in reducing the itching and inflammation from the skin. You can apply the juice 3 to 4 times in a day for best results.
Make a potato poultice and add salt, apply it on the affected area. This formula is great to get relief from swelling, redness and itching.
Potato water. Potatoes contain a variety of nutrients and vitamins that are beneficial to the body and good for the skin. Potato can help reduce the itching and inflammation caused by chilblains due to its anti-irritant and soothing properties. It is also effective in treating blisters that may develop with chilblains. Boil 1 or 2 potatoes in 2 cups of water for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow the solution to cool down and wash area with water.
