Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Are there any EO's that are especially good for sprains? DH has a connective tissue disease and one thing that happens a lot is that he gets a sprain in the bottom of his foot and on the top of it. It starts to swell and then he is limping for anywhere between 2-6 weeks before it is finally gone. Had him in to the foot doctor and all he would say is that it is a sprain no broken bones, etc..... So I figured I would come here to the list that knows....LOL Seriously any suggestions folks might have (hay Butch, Chris) would be greatly appreciated. I hate seeing him have such a hard time getting around. Blessings to you, Janet ><((((º>·´¯`·:.· ><((((º>¸¸.·´¯`><((((º> Meadowyck, Artistic Body Essentials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Have you tried arnica or comfrey? Not the EO but rather an oil infusion of either herb or a poultice. Homeopathic arnica is great for sprains as well. MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Hi Janet, I hope he's feeling better! I agree with the suggestions you've gotten - homeopathic Arnica and Helichrysum oil. Both are great for sprains and bruises. The arnica comes in the form of internal tablets and external ointment, gel and oil. Also, I don't know for sure, but maybe regular gentle foot massages would help his feet feel better in general. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com On Behalf Of Janet Matherly Are there any EO's that are especially good for sprains?
