Its long been known that Olbas Oil is great decongestant, but it also helps out in other areas too. Some years ago I was diagnosed with arthritis in the neck, but its only over the last 12 months that its really started to bother me. Even though I am on a prescribed pain relief course from my GP it was still very painful first thing in the morning. When I first woke up my neck was really sore and there was numbness in my neck and side of the face, until I moved my neck and hearing a cracking sound, when the numbed area went very cold then normal. This went on for a few months, then one night I remembered how my father had used Olbas oil for joint pains, so I gave it a whirl, I have to say the result has been marvelous, I no longer get any pain, numbness or stiffness in a morning,which is a big plus, the only disadvantage is the smell is very poignant to say the least:D

Funny enough Jen I rarely get colds, (thank God) but with constantly having an oxygen tube stuck up my nose it goes cause problems with my sinuses, I did that is, the Olbas oil is working wonders in that department too:D
 
Off topic (but relevant to homeopathic remedies) Comfrey Oil or ointment (known locally as Knitbone) is great for cracked or broken bones. Massage in a couple of times a day once any broken skin has healed & your bones will set twice as quick.

That was mi old grannies remedy, if you'd hurt your sen, say your foot it was off down to Mrs Riley's herbalists opposite St Paul's School in Ossy for some Knitbone, not an ointment but the leaves, she would then pop them into a bowl of hot water then wrap them round your foot held in place with a crape bandage, sure did the trick
 
i ALWAYS have Olbas oil in, i mainly use it for my chest but also use it for my bad arms, its wonderful stuff

The method of using comfrey that you describe is not to do with homeopathic remedies, but more to do with Herbal Medicine....and yes it does work.
You can also pick the plant after it has flowered, allow it to dry out to concentrate its healing properties and then make a hot poultice out of it......apply to sore joints and they get better.
 
Another tip that was given to me by a chap who had really bad arthritis in his knees was to spray the joint with WD40....no it is not a joke.
This chap now has had his knee joint replaced, but he told me that it was only WD40 that allowed him to continue getting about.......I guess it is worth a try.
 
where do you get Comfrey oil from? i'm wondering if it will help the pain in my arms until i get the op done
 
how did i know my freezer would come into this conversation ;) lol

dads just been into a neighbours garden and pinched some comfrey leaves, just gonna look up what to do with it now
 
My dad used the leaves untreated for back pain.
The tiny hairs on the leaves penetrate some pores to let the sap in.
He made a 'grass skirt' of leaves on a string around his waist - kept in place by his underpants. I have never used them that way but he said it worked.
 
It is a pity that doctors are precluded from using, prescribing. or recommending herbal medicines which have been used effectively for centuries. This is because most herbals contain an uncertain mixture of compounds and are impossible to test in a pure form as required by current regulations for certified medicines. It IS possible to do harm by incorrect use of herbals (and it does happen) but I think this is quite rare and many people could be helped by them. It would be interesting to hear what other cures people here have found which worked for them.
 
Dave, My daughter has just done a degree in Homeopathic Medicine and the resistance to anything other than conventional medicine is great.......possibly driven by the need for Phamaceutical companies to protect their vast profits.
Pharmaceutical companies derive billions of pounds from the sale of their products, spend large sums of money coseying up to GP's, providing them with 'Seminars(at suitably opulent venues) Courses (in exotic and usually sunny places) all from the profits of their drugs.

With conventional medicine you are given something to treat your original ailment, but the side effects usually require another drug to be prescribed, and so on. All makes for a very healthy Pharma industry, but not so healthy patients.

OK, maybe not all the drugs are like that....and Yes some drugs are life saving.(Insulin, Digoxin etc) ....I know this from my 30 years in the health service, but I also know that there is room for more than one kind of treatment....and that these should be in every GP's arsenal of weapons to fight disease.....but I won't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.
