Natural Remedies for Broken Bones

[ back to other Natural Remedies ]

In case you want to play around with this (and/or for future reference), here are some of my notes on the natural remedies I've collected/researched over the years for myself and others who've broken bones.  (I broke a toe a few years ago, took care of it myself [ie, no doctor/hospital], it healed extremely quickly--2.5 months--and I now have to really look hard to see which toe it was!)

You can find most of the plants/herbs growing wild if you're out with someone who knows plants.  The rest you should be able to find at an herbal supply or health food store.

I hope this is useful to you...and that you send me your additions!  If something ends up working for you, please let me know so I can pass the word on to others via this page, etc.  :)

Disclaimer: What I'm sharing with you here are my notes for myself, just to trigger my own memory and knowledge.  So, you may want to use this list as a starting place to do a bit more research on your own (check the herbal glossary on the previous page, the web, etc) on any particular plant/herb/etc. before taking it.  If you have any special medical conditions, or are taking any special medications, you'll probably want to check with a doctor beforehand.  In short, use my notes here as a starting place, and at your own risk, rather than as a particular recommendation!  :-)

Here's some natural bone healing remedies that I'm personally aware of.  As with all such remedies, you'll have to see which ones work for you.

Herbs/teas/foods/minerals that accelerated the healing for me when I broke my toe...

Comfrey Root (I bought a tincture and would squeeze drops into my cereal, tea, etc...tho you can also put a poultice on the area directly...and/or an infusion of comfrey, horsetail and mousear after the plaster cast has been removed...similar for direct application of Arnica, which you can also find in a gel or cream).  I've also read that Aloe vera helps encourage the healing of broken bones, and that it can be applied both externally as a gel, and can be taken internally.

Drinking 3-5 cups of tea made from Comfrey Root, Mallow Root, Plantain, Bone Set and/or Chia Seed ( taken singly or in combination) will also speed the healing.  Meanwhile, eating lots of very green salads, carrots, celery and parsely...raw vegetable juice...natural protein sources...and lots of whole grains will also help a lot...and sugars, chocolate, soda, candy or unnatural processed food will slow the healing (sorry ;-) .

Obviously, you also want to increase your calcium intake, as well as magnesium, phosphorus and vitamin A.
