Reduce Swelling

[Guest guest]

You can make a paste out of Epsom Salts and poultice the swollen

area. Might help if you can not immerse your foot in an Epsom

Salt soak. DMSO should also help but Epsom Salt is a fav of

mine,

in fact I have been known to put both DMSO and ES in a bath.

Swelling can make the nerves go numb for sure. Keeping it

elevated

above heart level is best to help reduce swelling, but it

can be hard

to stay off your feet.

Also make sure your electrolytes are balanced internally. I

really like

Fiji water to help with the Mg and Ca balance, it is the

only bottled

water I know of that has Silicon which will help you absorb

and metabolize

Mg and Ca, both necessary for bone healing. Mg is hard to

get enough

of, Ca not so hard but needs to be 1:1 with Mg. The Si

really facilitates.

It is also found in onions, whole grains, Oat Straw Tea and

Horse Tail

herb.
