Next time you sprain or strain your ankle, wrist, back or even eyes, try this classic remedy and your tendons will thank you. As the after-Arnica remedy for joints, bones, sprains and strains, or any injury involving cartilage, tendons, and bone surfaces, Ruta earned most of its fame by relieving and stabilizing joints after sprains– even joints weakened by repeated injuries including tennis elbow, trick knee or carpal tunnel wrist. Its back applications range from simple strain or bruising to a weak bruised feeling in the lower back and burning sciatic pain that runs down one leg. When tendons behind your eyes tire, Ruta can clear the dim vision quickly, minimize the strain and stop sharp eyestrain headaches. Thus it is proving very helpful among computer users.
When bruises strike deeper than Arnica can reach, as in bone bruises, they fall under
Ruta's domain as well.
In general, Ruta’s pains: improve with warmth, need motion to relieve stiffness– but not too much, worsen with standing, cold, dampness and wind, and often feel worse in the morning.
A must in the kit of every athlete, exerciser, walker, typist, computer gamer, internet addict . . . |
