Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hi, I am kinda new to the group (read often but dont post much) and I need some help. My grandmother would like to use a natural topical ointment of some sort to help relieve her muscle/joint pain. The muscle is a muscle strain in the pelvis and the joint pains are rheumatoid arthritis related, mostly in the back and legs. Please anyone feel free to let me know. I have heard Arnica is good, but it also is said to raise blood pressure, which would not be best for her.... please let me know what you can come up with Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Michelle, Arnica Montana 30c, Rhus Tox 30c, and Traumeel will have your Grandmother doing handsprings in no time. Seriously, I am a huge supporter of these products and have never experienced elevated blood pressure from their use. Do you have any documented information to back up this claim? I would love to read about this. Another suggestion for the arthritis is Zeel, produced by the same company (Heel) that makes Traumeel.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Michelle, I've found a good therapeutic grade essential oil does wonders for both pains. Wintergreen essential oil does very well with muscular pain as well as arthritis. I have a friend who has had great success using clove essential oil on her rheumatoid arthritis. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
