Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 "Computer Wrists" Ginger Compress 1 piece fresh gingerroot 2 quarts boiling water St. John's wort oil Grate fresh gingerroot and tie it in cheesecloth. Put the ginger into the boiling water. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Cool to a warm but comfortable temperature. To use: If the skin on your hands and wrists is very sensitive, apply a thick layer of St. John's wort oil to the area around the wrist before you apply the compress. Remove the cheesecloth with the gingerroot. Dip a clean hand towel into the ginger water. Wring out the excess liquid and apply the comfortably warm cloth to the tender wrist area. Cover with a dry towel to insulate the heat. Rewarm every 5 minutes, as desired. This warming compress will help to relieve pain. Source: Natural Hand Care, by Norma Pasekoff Weinberg.
