Re: Solomon's seal

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know where I can buy 's seal dried herb in the uk? I'd like

to make up a salve for a patient with Plantar fasciitis, and this is the herb

which comes up time and again as a recommendation.

Or can anyone recommend another salve they have found useful - I would think,

calendula, symphytum, arnica, lavender etc. But any other ideas very welcome.

I will be treating internally also.

Thank you

Hi

solomon's seal - how interesting, must look that up, my sister in law

gave me a plant last year....

I've used symphytum for this with good effect (alongside internal)

and I tend to reinforce my symphytum with boswelia and lavender these

days, seems to increase speed of action.

My patient's physio gave her stretching exercises which also helped,

I think she stood facing the wall a little awy from it, and leaned

her body forward to touch the wall - it would helps with achilles

tendon problems too, I think.

Is she overweight? if so weight reduction would help, obviously.

My plantar fasciitis was cured, after many years of unsuccessful physio and

orthotics, by painting hypericum tincture onto the soles of my feet. I have

recently recommended this to a patient with the same problem, again a

long-standing one, and it worked for her too. Messy though, and it stains.

Hope this helps,
