Re: Re: Sprained ankle, was, something for a 3rd degree

[Guest guest]

I was in New Jersey for the first couple of weeks in November, and had a

very interesting experience with some pretty painful physical damage. I

took a fall and totally racked up my right leg. My right ankle was

sprained, there was a huge swelling across the top of my foot right

behind my toes, my right knee was scraped raw, and I couldn't even walk

for two days. I asked a friend to get me some comfrey cream to put on

the scraped knee, and they brought me some Ecclectic

Calendula/coneflower/comfrey cream. The cream brought pretty rapid

healing to the skin. Well, after a couple of days, I started limping,

very slowly, but I still couldn't go up and down stairs. After a week,

with only slight improvement, a nurse mentioned to me that she had known

someone to use this calendula/coneflower/comfrey cream on a sprained

ankle with helpful results. So I started rubbing it into my ankle and

into the top of my foot. It was amazing! It took down the swelling and

the terrible aching. My ankle and foot were still sore if I pushed on

them, but it wasn't pain that would keep you awake. :-) After about 24

hours, I was able to go up and down stairs, and the improvement just

continued!

Calendula and comfrey are two very amazing herbs/plants/weeds. I just

love comfrey. Calendula is excellent for healing as well as an underarm

deodorant.

Glad your doing better TerriLynne.

Do you think that the coneflower (ecchinacea) also assisted?

I'm sure it helped in the combo.. It is used as Alterative, antibacterial, antiviral, analgesic, digestive, tonic, antiseptic, depurative, febrifuge, sialagogue, diaphoretic TerriLynne <terri_lynne@...> wrote: Do you think that the coneflower (ecchinacea) also assisted? __________________________________________________
