wrist ganglion

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

a personal request for treatment suggestions for a ganglion on the back of

my wrist which up till now has just been unsightly but now occasionally

causes discomfort on flexion/extension of the joint.

I know the old fashioned treatment was to hit it with the family bible but I

cant say I really fancy that approach !I was wondering if a castor oil

poultice would help using the principle of its use for fibroids and other

tumours. Any ideas gratefully received.Thanks and since Graham is not onlist

at moment Ill offer the forbidden festive greetings !

I had one myself; it disappeared after 2 years or so on its own; nothing I

tried with herbs seemed to do much. I would think that acupunture (local

points) would be quite useful.

Hi Annette,

A patient of mine once mentioned a ganglion as an afterthought. I

gave her some Juniper oil and suggested rubbing some in when she

wasn't doing anything else, eg. watching TV. It took six months, but

it went away completely.

And a happy solstice to you too...
