comfrey leaf
Frogga= Becca's alternative med dr recommended getting comfrey leaf. It smells like a tea and looks like loose tea. We found it in bulk at our local food co-op in the spice section. We fill a cloth full of the leaf, steep it in very hot water for 20 minutes, squeeze it out and put it on her foot. I saran wrap it to keep it from staining and dripping and then put a towel around it as she really likes the warmth. She leaves it on for as long as she wants (average 30 min). You can do it several times a day. Her pain dr and pediatrician also endorse it.
Mollymcn- I agree (with my own disclaimer) that alternative meds can be helpful. Becca also takes Boswellia and Turmeric twice a day with her arnica tablets. She feels out of anything, these have helped her.
I have always asked about drug interactions and so far so good.
