Subject: RE: Arthritis / Joint Pain / Stiffness advice

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I made a blend once for a lady with bad arthritis in her hands, she found

it hard to even peel vegetables. The blend was made up of lemon, basil and

rosemary and aftrer giving the area a good massage and working the blend in,

I used a heated wheat bag (I think in America you use rice) on the area and

it was interesting to note that after about 20 minutes a red line formed on

her thumb joint leading down her wrist. I massaged it each day for a week,

as she was going overseas and worried about carrying her luggage. Each day

the red line got smaller, it did not entirely free the joint, but it sure

made a big difference.

May I suggest also, that if you are working continuously on a computer that

you consider geting some yin/yang balls. They are 2 shiny balls like

billiard balls which I got for next to nothing in a Chinese herbal shop..

They fit into your hand and the idea is to rotate them using your fingers. I

found when I began massaging , my arms and hands would ache each night, and

a friend told me about these. By using them your muscles get a good workout

and strengthen. Worked a treat for me!

Just a thought
