What Should I Know About Clavicle Injuries, and Can Ayurveda Help with Bone Healing? - #15627
I recently fell while cycling and landed hard on my shoulder. The pain was unbearable, and after getting an X-ray, I found out that I had a clavicle (collarbone) fracture. The doctor said it would take weeks to heal, but I’m worried about how long it will take to fully recover. I want to understand more about the clavicle—why is it so prone to fractures? And is there anything I can do to speed up healing? I read that the clavicle plays a major role in shoulder movement, so does that mean I should avoid certain activities even after the bone has healed? Since I want to recover as naturally as possible, I started looking into Ayurveda. I read that certain Ayurvedic remedies can support bone healing—are there specific herbs or treatments that can strengthen the clavicle and improve recovery? I found that Hadjod (Cissus quadrangularis) is traditionally used for fractures—has anyone tried it? Does it actually work? Another thing I’m concerned about is whether my diet is affecting my recovery. Are there Ayurvedic dietary recommendations for stronger bones? Should I be increasing calcium, or are there other nutrients that are just as important? If anyone has experienced a clavicle fracture, how long did it take to get back to normal? Did you use any natural remedies to help with healing? I’d love to hear real experiences so I know what to expect.
