Have him soak at least 40 minutes and then take an ice cold shower/rinse then put him in bed with a ton of blankets covering him. He will sweat like a stuck...well never mind what he will sweat like. Believe that he will sweat and pour out lots of toxins. Arnica salve with cayenne will be quite beneficial for pain. Maybe adding in some DMSO just before it all sets and mixing it in really well will help the salve to penetrate much better. Peace be with you and SO Anne.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I have found EO of peppermint to be a wonderful pain killer and even though I use it for all pains, stomach pain seems to be it’s ‘specialty’. Just put a few drops of the EO in your palm, add your choice of carrier oil and massage the stomach in a clockwise circle. Can also rub the bottom of the feet and along both sides of the spine for pain . This also gives a very nice cooling effect for fevers, but doesn’t lower the temp like drugs do. It allows a person to feel better and the temp to still do it’s work. I would not do this right after the hot bath Don suggested though. With the pores so wide open, I bet it would cause burns and sting. Carol in IL Mom to seven kids, twin grandson's and , 4 DS " Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain.
