Guest guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I seem to have lost the reply I sent to you... I just mentioned that my sister has had huge success with Glucosamin. and swimming- gently exercises and without any weight bearing- hence why the water is so good. Also I had read this article.... Kitchen Remedies: When I was first in practice (back in the early '80s) my mentor, Simon Schot, Dutch Master Herbalist and Naturopath, pointed out that a good practitioner may not always be in his or her clinic at a time of need. He wanted us to know what 'medicines' we had available in our kitchen, our backyard, and our neighbourhood. From this grew my interest (and use) of fruit and vegetable first aid remedies. In each newsletter we will explore the use of one of my Kitchen Remedies. Today we will look at Mustard: " The Ancients held that mustard was good, and good for you, if not a virtual panacea. The Greeks credited Aesculapius, son of Apollo and god of medicine, with creating it. Dioscorides, the first-century a.d. Greek physician whose De remedica was the standard pharmacological text for centuries, prescribed mustard for everything from swollen tonsils to epilepsy, and as a tonic against " feminine lassitude. " The Roman scholar Pliny the Elder ground mustard seed with vinegar and used it as a poultice for snakebite and scorpion stings, while the Greek physician Hippocrates favored mustard poultices for treating bronchitis, pneumonia, rheumatism and neuralgia - ample precedent for today's folk medicine remedy of a mustard plaster for many of the same ills. (Smithsonian, June 1, 2000) Uses: Poultice on the chest = Coughs, congestion, colds, flu-like symptoms, bronchitis. Poultice wrapped around or on a joint = arthritic pain. Poultice on the spine = increasing circulation, back pain. I am talking about traditional mustard powder from ground-up mustard seed. The best poultices are made from black mustard seeds ground fresh in a coffee grinder, but ordinary yellow mustard powder in the tin at the supermarket does a good job. [Note: Do Not Use the ready- made liquid stuff in a jar.] Directions: Make a paste of the mustard powder with water (you may need to add a little flour to the mix to hold the paste together). Wrap in a chux cloth or tea-towel, place it on the affected body part, and then cover it over with plastic wrap or something similar to keep the heat in the poultice. It works mainly by increasing circulation, perspiration and heat in the afflicted area. Use with caution. Never put the paste directly on your skin, sandwich it in the chux cloth. Remove immediately if stinging or burning occurs. Do not use on sensitive or broken skin. This is a powerful stimulant so it is best not to use this on a young child or an elderly person. Obviously, with someone who is seriously ill, consult a health care professional first. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article3900958. ece And the above link to therapy that saved someone's knee.
