[Guest guest]

Arnica would be good, also deep tissue repair oil (there are a couple in the files.. see the one in the natural herbal remedies file...) Bone flesh and cartlidge is another... for pain there are a number of them..(also in the files0

Hello, all –

My teenager stepped in a hole while walking across a school yard last night in the dark. She had to be carried to her room, where she did put ice on the ankle. I took her to the emergency room this afternoon because I thought the ankle was broken. Turns out it is a very, very bad sprain. The ankle is 3-4 times normal due to swelling and has been elevated all evening with an ice pack on it. It is black and blue – literally. More black than anything. It’s terribly painful. The ER put the ankle in an air cast and the kid is on

crutches but in enough pain she’s not moving from the recliner. The doc prescribed Ibuprofen for the pain.

I am going to start searching the group archives now, but does anyone have any suggestions? I believe I should be treating the ligaments and the tissue with something. I would like to see her heal from this as quickly as possible with as few side effects as possible.

(I read an article not long ago about a tissue repair oil that was a blend of Lemon grass oil, marjoram oil and Idaho balsam pine oil. I have the lemon and marjoram oil but hadn’t found the pine oil yet) I’ve got things like Colloidal Silver, Echinacea, fish oil, all kinds of herbal teas, garlic and Ester C in the house, also organic ACV, organic olive oil.

Thanks!

Hi ,

Hot and cold therapy alternating. Deep tissue oil can assist in healing

the connective tissue. If you have any comfrey growing nearby, a

poultice of fresh comfrey will help it heal quickly too. But definitely

lots of hot/cold therapy. Got a good place for a mud puddle in your

yard? Make one and have her bury her foot and ankle in the mud and leave

it there for an hour or so for several days. The earth is a wonderful

healer of bones.
