If you can find a chiropractor who does Active Release Therapy, that

will really help. It's kind of painful but cured me completely.

+++Hi H. You can do a number of things to help your shoulder. First,

have you ever injured that shoulder in any way in the past?

+++A frozen area of the body is mainly caused by toxins, so the best treatments

are those that help your body detoxify itself as recommended in this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/detox.php

+++It is also helpful to get treatments that help the nerves such as energy

work, acupuncture, reflexology, shiatsu, etc.

> You advised someone else having surgery on her wrist to use Tylenol if

necessary for pain. Would you advise the same for me? I have been using

reflexology, and it helps.

+++You should try natural pain solutions first that I recommend for the lady

having surgery on her wrist:

1) Mix oil of oregano 50/50 with extra virgin olive oil in a dropper bottle and

rub it into your shoulder. Afterward apply warm, not hot heat, for 1/2 hour,

preferably wet heat, to help make it sink into your skin. Not only will oil of

oregano help heal the area, but it is also as powerful of a pain killer as

morphine, but do not take it internally.

2) Heat soothes pain, helps pull out toxins, and also increases inflammation

which is a natural healing process created by the body in order to heal itself -

see this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/nature3.php

3) Also sniff frequently on the original oil of oregano bottle to help get the

fumes up into your head which can help with the pain centers there.

4) For pain you can also try taking white willow bark capsules, available at the

health store, with food; take it according to the label on the bottle.

If white willow bark isn't strong enough you can take Tylenol since your body

will detoxify it, but it is best to avoid it since

it interferes with healing.

> Since this is a healing reaction, is there anything else I can do to slow it

down and make it bearable? Would you advise cutting back on coconut oil, for

example? Things have been busy, but I have a bit more time now to begin epsom

salt baths, dry skin brushing and enemas, so I will do that.

+++No, do not change anything on this program since it is helping your body heal

and detoxify itself, which is mainly because of the nutrients your body needs to

do its job.

All the best, Bee

Hi Bee,

I believe I may have injured my shoulder last year handling a heavy wheelbarrow.

Otherwise no injuries to that shoulder.

I am in distress, and a bit afraid, but I see I have some additional things to

try. Thank you for your advice. We'll see how it goes from here.

I have felt your pain before. Whether a frozen shoulder or a torn rotator cuff,

it is very painful. I never saw a doctor for it, but worked with it myself. It

can take awhile to heal, but it will heal. One book that I used is " Treat your

own Rotator Cuff " by JIm , a physical therapist. Also I was in a health

food store the other day and the lady that worked there was recommending to

someone else with a similar problem, castor oil packs over the shoulder. She

said that it stopped her pain in just a few weeks of using the packs. I wish I

had known to try something like that too. It does make sense because castor oil

packs are used alot for inflamation. Hope you feel better soon. P.S Icing the

shoulder helps too. I would also just look up info. about the castor oil packs

on the internet. Might even have suggestions about using it for a frozen

shoulder.

+++Hi ,

I also recommend using castor oil packs - see Castor Oil Packs on my website:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/pack.php

However, I do not advise using ice packs, even though they lessen the pain.

That is because ice immobilizes blood circulation and other healing substances

so they cannot help in healing the area. After applying ice the body has to

work harder to recover and get the blood circulating again.

Thank you so much, Chris. It helps to hear from someone else who has been

through a similar situation -- understanding the pain and offering the hope that

" this, too, shall pass. " I am finding I am a wimp when it comes to pain.

I have used both ice and heat, but had not realized the castor oil pack might be

helpful. I saw some castor oil in a store recently, but not sure where. Perhaps

I will try a different oil, as suggested in Bee's article on Castor Oil packs,

until I can get the castor oil.

Thanks again for sharing your experience with me,
