Yesterday I fell and sprained my wrist in the morning. Come that evening became very painful and was throbbing. I iced it and it felt better for a short time. I looked on EC and found the apple cider vinegar remedy. I cut the toe out of an old sock, saturated it with AC and put it on my wrist. Wrapped it with Saran Wrap. Excruciating pain for 2 hours. Pain stopped and I fell asleep for the night. Woke up this morning with swelling mostly gone and no pain. I was amazed! Thx EC.

SPRAINS AND THEIR TREATMENT. * BY A. H. TUBBY, M.S. LOND., F.R.C.S. ENG., Assistant Surgeon to Westminster Hospital ; Surgeon to Out-Patients, Evelina Hospital for Sick Children, etc.

From the Book; THE PRACTITIONER, A Journal of Practical Medicine and Surgery, by MALCOLM MORRIS, 1897 page 369.

If the symptoms of sprain has come on, and the pain, which passed off somewhat after the injury, has now become more severe, the application of cold is not of much value, since by this time the tissues have become distended with blood and with lymph, and if the parts have been kept at rest effusion will have ceased now to be poured out. The most prominent and troublesome symptom is that of pain. Nothing succeeds now so well in diminishing the pain as the frequent application of hot water, or, better still, of hot vinegar and salt-an empirical but very successful remedy. * It seems that hot applications not only diminish the pain, but also exercise a permanent effect upon the duration and upon the amount of the swelling; and it is in this way : when the vessels which have been injured have

recovered their tone, the application of hot water promotes absorption, so that the effused blood and lymph are rapidly taken back into the blood- vessels and the lymph- channels. During this time the joint should be kept at rest, and it is advisable also to maintain pressure on it by cotton wool, since well -directed pressure also promotes absorption.

This is an Edgar Cayce remedy for sprains, torn ligaments, and bruising. I sprained my foot and ankle ( graceful me climbing down the cliffs to surf, I know I balance better in the water than on the land ). I used this daily and at night I wore an extra sock to keep it in place while I slept. I also elevated my foot as often as I could. Like anything consult your Doctor to make sure you haven't fractured any bones. Cayce said " Either moisten the salt with vinegar or saturate the vinegar with salt ". I applied this often, a new batch at least 2 times a day as a rub and at night as a pack.

Directions

Combine 1 tablespoon salt and 1 cup hot vinegar into a small bowel, stir til dissolved. Apply mixture to the affected body part onto the cloth ((washcloth, handtowel, socks), secure if needed with medical tape. Rinse after treatment.
