Bursitis happens when the bursa or bursae become inflamed. The bursa are the little fluid sacks that cushion the joints and minimize friction. Bursitis can be a very painful and unfriendly condition to have. It is most common in the shoulders, knees, and elbows-- but it can be everywhere- even the big toe!
Conventional treatment (when you see a MD) usually includes physical therapy and pain killers & anti inflammatory prescription drugs which are hard on the stomach. Sometimes your doctor may even want to do a series of steroid injections- which can lead to many problems. Obviously before starting any treatment at home- please consult a health care professional. Naturopathic Treatments you can do yourself: --Apply DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) <--- recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil. DMSO is a chemical that is made from wood pulp that you put on your skin. It penetrates the skin and promotes healing to the areas. You would use 70% solution and apply it with a cotton ball 3 times daily for about 3 or 4 days. If the pain begins to subside, then only apply it 2 times daily. --Ginger Capsules A natural anti inflammatory and pain reliever --Apple Cider Vinegar You can do tons of things with Apple Cider Vinegar. For this treatment you would soak a cloth in apple cider vinegar, then you would wrap your knee or elbow with it and leave it on for about 30 minutes. --Apple Cider Vinegar & Molasses Drink I know it sounds gross, but it is a powerful anti inflammatory & pain reliever. People have reported feeling better the same day they drank it. What you do is combine 2 TBSP of ACV, 1 TBSP Black Strap Molasses, and 1 Cup of Luke Warm Water. --Peppermint Oil Massage You can massage the area with peppermint oil--- or have someone else rub it and get yourself a little TLC --Silica Tablets under the tongue Silica 6X is a cell salt that you can buy at a health food store or online. You take 5 tablets under the tongue 4-5 times a day. Silica is the internal surgeon and it helps heal ailments all over the body. It is even really good for treating acne & boils. --Rest --Ice (for the first time you feel the pain) --Alternating Ice & Moist Heat --Eat lots of acid forming foods to cure Calcium Deposits that can form from this condition ~~Good Luck!~~ |
