My husband got frost bite on his middle finger about a week ago. The tip had a definite purple line. We didn't do anything until the next day when we realized how bad it was. We followed the paste of bentonite mixed with hot pepper flakes as posted here. We applied it overnight. It wasn't completely gone in the morning, but it was better.

He is an acupuncturist so he dry needled the area the next 2 evenings and also started taking 1.1 grams of ginger and 2 grams of vitamin C a day and is still taking it daily. Also he is keeping olive oil on the area. And keeping it warm by wearing gloves when it is cold. It has been 10 days now and the color is normal and it just has a hard spot on the very tip of the finger that is getting smaller each day. He has complete feeling back in the finger.

Thank you Earth Clinic!

Update to my earlier post. The skin on the tip of my husband's finger has peeled off with new skin underneath. Back to normal. Yay! So it took about 2 weeks to heal.
