Twisted ankle treatment – what are the best Ayurvedic remedies? - #16778
Twisted my ankle real bad 3 days ago & its been a nightmare since. I was playing football with some friends, landed weird on my foot & boom - instant pain. It swelled up almost immediately, couldn't even put weight on it. Thought maybe it was just a minor sprain so I iced it, kept it elevated. But now, the swelling is still there, bruising is gettin worse (like dark purple??), and the pain is not lettin up. Every step feels like a stab, even when im just sitting, theres this dull ache that won’t go away. I know rest is key but I can’t just lay in bed all day. I gotta move around for work & daily stuff. A friend told me about Ayurveda for twisted ankle treatment, said it works wonders for healing naturally. Never tried Ayurveda before but at this point im desperate. I don’t wanna keep taking painkillers, and I read somewhere that Ayurvedic herbs & oils can help with inflammation and speed up healing. Can anyone suggest something for twisted ankle treatment that actually works? Like specific oils, herbs or any home remedies that will bring down swelling & help the pain? Should I be doing hot compress or cold? And is there any kind of Ayurvedic massage or technique to fix this faster? Also, how do I know if its just a sprain or something worse?? Do I need an X-ray or can Ayurveda help even if there’s a small fracture? Would really appreciate any advice, can’t deal with this pain much longer.
