Healing Naturally

It really does not matter what injury you have, the principles of healing are the same. If you can get blood to the area, you can achieve the best possible healing. Being optimally nourished and having overall good health are also essential.

The feet are a tough area to heal as they are not well supplied with blood, especially the cartilage, capsule of the joints and the small bones. Even a minor fracture will take a lot of care to heal.

Before opting for the surgery, I decided to give my foot the best chance of healing.
1. Heat thearpy. Heat up and cool the area 3 times a day. Heat increases blood flow to the area and the cool water brings down swelling.
2. Massage.
3. Supplements. I tried Joint Revolution and Green Vibrance. The point of this is to get the mineral and vitamin levels in your body to optimal levels which brings your immune system up. I have to rave about Green Vibrance, it made a huge impression on me. I had the best results while on it, and not just with my foot. I highly recommend it for anyone needing to heal, no matter the cause. I am hoping to stock it as it is an all-in-one super food. If only we could all eat foods that could give us the nutritional boost that this gives.

I believe that doing the above is what kept me reasonably comfortable for the last 5 months but it did not allow the sesamoid to heal. My surgeon told me it would be impossible for the bone to fuse again and he was right.

The 3 tips above can be applied to any illness. It was taught to me by a homeopathic doctor 6 years ago when Emily had a ear infection. I applied a warm bean bag to the ear, massaged the area and gave her olive leaf extract to boost the immune system. (with the ears you have to remove dairy from the diet too) I was thrilled at the time when her ear pain subsided and have been using this simple therapy ever since to treat any ailment we have.
