stiff and swollen hands/fingers/wrist My remedy

June 11, 2008

I have one really swollen finger from arthritis to the point it is almost

deformed. It has become exceedingly painful and I had to do something to

alleviate some of the pain so I could work, as I write most of the day, or am on

computer.

My diet is a good one, so I would attribute the cause to other reasons which

I am working on.

I tried the castor oil packs, leaving on all night and for awhile that

worked well, then was not working, so

thought I would try to become more aggressive and try something else.

I am now using this formula with excellent success. I cut the formula down

as it is one finger

2 qts. of Apple Cider Vinegar

2 oz. mullein

1/2 oz. lobelia herb powder..

Simmer for 15 minutes, strain well and add 1 teaspoon of cayenne tincture.

I use this as a fomentation and keep on all night long.

During Day, I use Dr. Christopher, Complete Tissue and Bone ointment.

I take that off when home from work, and let the finger free until I put

fomentation on at night.

This has really helped me. It has taken the swelling down 75 % and the pain

has really decreased.

If I have time on weekend, soak the whole hand in the mixture for maybe 5

minutes or so.

Hope this can help someone..
