Arnica questions

[Nadine216]

Arnica would work fine It will reduce the bruising.

My dad used to bind up our sprained ankles in rags that have been soaked in vinger. It smelled, but kept the swelling and bruising to a minimum. And you have to bind it up tightly. Not blue-toe tight, just nice and tight and supported

HTH

I stand corrected .. there is a simpler way

Wash the ankle very frequently with cold salt and water, which is far better than warm vinegar or decoction of herbs. Keep the foot as cool as possible to prevent inflammation, and sit with it elevated on a high cushion. Live on low diet, and take every morning some cooling medicine, such as Epsom salts. It cures in a few days.
