Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 So running up the stairs today I got my left big toe caught in my right pant leg (yeah, I'm a spaz, this is why always wear shorts or skirts LOL) and I twisted my left big toe! It's all ugly, swollen and purple now! I've put arnica gel on it, taken arnica internally, used The Real McCoy pain oil on it .. and it's still all nasty and throbbing! Anyone want to contribute their favorite relief suggestion? *Smile* Chris (your spaztic list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com http://www.czluxe.com " ... anyone driving slower than you is an idiot & anyone driving faster is a maniac " - George Carlin - R.I.P.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 And I thought I was a spaz last night when I wiped out in the garage and trashed my knee. Try an MSM lotion, best if you can get one with aloe and emu oil--toss in some peppermint EO or menthol to help with the pain. It's working on my knee. Hugs and stop with the klutziness!

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 My husband knocked a trailer tongue weighing several pounds off a shelf onto his toe. I used a combination of helichrysum, lavender, and roman chamomile in jojoba oil. He said the toe never bothered him again, and he didn't even lose the toe nail.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Chris, Try some helichrysum diluted to about 7%. Hope it helps. Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Are you just looking for eo's or for herbs? These came to me when I heard how purple it was... Also you may have majorly dislocated it and broke the blood vessels instead of breaking it. If it's twisted... (mean looks like it's out of place you may want to pull it back into place... Otherwise I'd say go to the doctor and have them take a look at it.. They'll do the same thing, but they'll have anesthetized it. All heal? (ever hear of it) Bone knit? (ever hear of it) or Bone set? (Buddy tape it) Ice it. > - > Linda Kellum > 06/24/08 09:05 am > > Re: Ow, my toe! > > > My husband knocked a trailer tongue weighing several pounds off a shelf > onto his toe.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Speaking of boneset I've got tons of it growing in my yard. Not sure how to use it though. I know lots of people eat it raw but it is like eating Velcro. Doesn't have much taste either. Also, wondering how I might be able to use it for plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Anyone have thoughts on that? Thanks!
