Swollen Ankles

[Guest guest]

Hi All

 

Does anybody have any idea what is good for reducing swollen ankles. Mine

have been swollen for before and after the actual joint for quite some time

now (like 3 years). I believe that they are connected to the ovaries... and

my reflexogolist suggested taking magnesium every day, which I am doing

(400mg). However, I have yet to notice a difference. OK - 2 questions then:

 

1. what does magnesium do?

2. if magnesium isn't the thing that I should be using, have you any

suggestions?

 

Best wishes to all

Yvonne

Magnesium is essential to the balance between various minerals in the body,

particularly in the bones and tendons. It should not be taken alone.

Generally, the best ratio is (hope i'm right on this -- the reference is 25

miles away) 3 parts calcium to 2 parts magnesium. You also need several

other minerals, mostly in extremely small amounts. The ideal configuration

of mineral intake will vary widely with each individual, so some

experimentation with various brands is necessary. I have found some good

brands of mineral supplement to be KAL, Solgar, and Nutrition for Life, but

there are many other possibilities.
