OT: ganglion cyst

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I've had ganglion cysts before, on the back of wrist, and at the base

of a finger or two on the palm. They went away on their own. I've read

that aspiration of fluid or surgery is the only remedy if they don't

go away on their own.

This new one just sprouted on the base of my thumb: hard, the size of

a pea, pretty painful, and very much in the way of normal functioning.

Any suggestions as to how to encourage it to leave quickly?

I'm doing Reiki, mag oil, Brook's mix, and trying not to abuse it.

These remedies have improved circulation, so now the discomfort has

spread out into a general ache in the a.m., and the heavy rain and low-

pressure weather here isn't helping.

Just made a mix of ', ibuprofen, and cayenne to see if that

helps. (made that for my fading tendonitis; if it isn't one thing,

it's another!)

Would a castor oil pack do anything? I'd really like to avoid a

medical encounter if possible. I read that hitting it (the bible bump)

is a bad and possibly damaging idea.) Normally, I'd just apply

patience, but it's interfering with much that I need to do before we

get on the road.

Thanks for any wisdom,

Be well,

Léna
