What Ayurvedic oil is good for frozen shoulders? - #60615
I am dealing with this annoying frozen shoulder thing after I had a fracture last year. it has been a while and the pain and stiffness are driving me crazy! I can’t even lift my arm without feeling like someone is stabbing me with a knife. My doctor suggested physical therapy, but I really want to try something more natural too. Was wondering if you guys can recommend a good frozen shoulder relief oil? I heard that certain oils can help with the pain and inflammation, but I get confused with the options out there. Like, what kind of cream can I use alongside that? I have tried some over-the-counter stuff but honestly, nothing seems to work! Also, any tips on how to heal a frozen shoulder faster? I have read mixed info online, and I don’t know what to believe. Is there a specific Ayurvedic oil that’s best for frozen shoulders? I just want to get back to normal, you know? I used to love playing tennis and now I can barely put on a shirt without wincing! If you have any insights or personal experiences, that would be super helpful!
