Re: Broken Rib

Good heavens Kathy, this is one time when you are entitled to act like a baby.  I cannot imagine the pain you are in.

Okay......... Proteins and minerals are very important when it comes to healing bones.  Calcium, magnesium and silica are essential for this purpose.

Plant derived trace minerals will also facilitate healing. Green food supplements rich in chlorophyll will also help. 

Glucosamine and chondroitin will facilitate healng and strengthen the bones.

Horsetail baths will help to reduce inflammation and swelling around the bone.  Put five drops of horsetail oil in your bath water.  

Apply a comfrey tincture to your rib area., and follow up with herbal packs of goldenrod.

Get some sunlight to facilitate natural Vitamin D production, about 30 minutes daily.  This will also help with absorption of calcium and bone healing.

These suggestions should help you Kathy, and I hope that you are feeling better soon.  Pamper yourself anyway you can, and let me know how you are doing.

Hugs.

Luella
