Any person, regardless of gender and age, can face such a nuisance as a fracture. In many patients, fractures heal very poorly, and therefore they have to wear plaster casts and undergo medical and physiotherapy procedures for several months.
Patients will be able to speed up the healing process of bone tissue themselves, if they strictly follow all the recommendations of specialists. To do this, you will not need to carry out complex therapy, since proper nutrition, massage and various external means will help speed up the healing process.
Means for oral administration
The body of every patient who has been diagnosed with a bone fracture must be supplied with calcium, vitamins and trace elements that contribute to the fusion of bone tissue.
The attending physician without fail prescribes the following medicines for such a category of patients:
- decongestants;
- anti-inflammatory;
- cleansing, etc.
Depending on the chosen treatment method, traditional medicine can also be used in the treatment of the patient: clay, herbs, chicken egg shells, etc. In order for such funds to benefit the patient, they must be used in a certain dosage.
When treating injuries of the musculoskeletal system, in particular bone fractures, it is recommended to use the following traditional medicine:
- Clay. First, you need to dilute dry clay in water (1 tablespoon of clay for 1 glass of liquid). The resulting mixture should be taken orally no more than 3 times a day (30 minutes before meals). This remedy helps to relieve inflammation in bone tissues and feeds them with calcium, silicon and other trace elements.
- Horsetail. This plant contains large amounts of silicon. It is actively used in folk medicine as a decongestant. To prepare a medicinal infusion, you must take 1 tbsp. a spoonful of horsetail and a luge, mix it with a glass of boiling water. The resulting mixture must be placed in a glass jar, covered with a saucer and infused for 20 minutes. The filtered infusion should be drunk 3 times a day, approximately 1/3 cup.
- St. John's wort, valerian and chamomile. This herbal tea is an excellent anti-inflammatory and soothing agent. To prepare a medicinal broth, you need to take 1 tbsp. spoonful of the mixture of herbs, place them in a glass jar and pour 1 tbsp. boiling water. Cover the resulting mixture with a saucer and leave for 20 minutes. After straining, the broth can be taken as a medicine 3 times a day for 1/3 cup.
-
Eggshell. The shell of chicken eggs must be washed well, and then dried in the oven. To obtain a powder, the shell must be ground in a coffee grinder. As a medicine, such a powder must be taken daily, at the tip of a knife (it contains a large amount of calcium).
When treating bone fractures, it is recommended to use the following remedy: 2 tbsp. tablespoons of cognac (can be replaced with Cahors) mixed with 5 chicken eggs. The shell must be dried and crushed to a powder state, and then mixed with freshly squeezed lemon juice (5 pcs are enough). After dissolving the eggshell powder, the mixtures can be mixed with each other and left to infuse in a dark place for 1 day. You need to take such a remedy once a day, 30 ml. For the full course of treatment, the patient will need 3 servings of the product, which are recommended to be prepared as they are used.
External means
Patients with bone fractures who have a removable splint installed can start rubbing fir oil into the injured limbs in a week. This tool helps to significantly speed up the process of bone tissue fusion and at the same time helps well to heal wounds (with open fractures). It is necessary to rub in fir oil daily. If the patient has a plaster cast on his arm, rub in this agent above and below the injury site.
A prepared clay mixture can be applied to the fracture site: dry clay must be mixed with water and kneaded into a cake. This remedy should be applied both to the fracture site and to the edema site. The clay cake should be kept for several hours, until it warms up. For the next manipulation, you will need to prepare a new cake, since the used mixture is no longer suitable for further use. Such procedures can be repeated 3 times a day until the bone tissue is completely fused.
For bone fractures, it is recommended to use compresses that are made from herbal preparations:
- comfrey root must be boiled for 20 minutes, then cooled and chopped (the mixture must be mixed with lard or unsalted lard to be subsequently used as an ointment);
- larkspur root (100 g) pour 0.5 l of water and cook until the mixture acquires the consistency of jelly;
-
incense (50 gr) mixed with rye flour and larkspur root (mix the resulting mixture with the same amount of chicken proteins, leave for a day and use for compresses);
- baths with sea salt (1 tablespoon of salt per 1 liter of boiling water);
- homeopathic ointment "Arnika";
- tie a magnet over the plaster, etc.

Massage will help
For patients undergoing treatment for closed fractures, specialists prescribe a course of massage. During the procedure, metabolic processes are accelerated, and blood supply in the damaged area is normalized. Massage brings a great effect to patients who have had the plaster removed.
While the patient is forced to wear a plaster cast, he must independently massage the injured limb. Regular manipulations will have a positive effect on the arm or leg, and the healing process will go several times faster. The massage can be started as early as a week after the injury.
The patient should do the following:
- Parts of the body above and below the injury should be stroked gently.
- After gentle stroking, you should begin to knead the soft tissues of the limb and make light tapping.
- Light beating and tapping can be done over the plaster cast.
During self-massage, the patient should do all the movements with the pads of several fingers. Daily sessions can take from 5 to 7 minutes.
When performing massage after removing the plaster cast, the patient must perform the following movements:
- The injured limb must be gently kneaded, making light movements with the pads of the fingers. Movements should begin over the fracture site, after which you can smoothly move on to massaging the area of injury.
- The area of the fracture should be lightly touched (for example, tapped) for several minutes.
- The massage can be performed while taking a bath or while in the swimming pool. This is because water helps to relax the muscles and relieves stress on the joints. A patient in warm water will significantly improve blood circulation in the muscles.
A very important diet
When treating bone fractures, patients are advised to eat a diet. It is important to introduce more calcium-rich foods into your daily diet.
The patient's menu should contain the following products:
- Pure dairy products (it is not recommended to mix them with carbohydrates and proteins of plant and animal origin). You can add fruits (lemons, oranges and other fruits containing vitamin C), herbs and vegetables, which are quickly absorbed by the human body.
- Vegetables are green in color, as they contain a lot of calcium.
- Horseradish in any form.
- Nettle (you can make salads or cook first courses from it).
- River and sea fish (it contains large amounts of phosphorus), canned fish and various seafood.
- Legumes (peas, asparagus, beans, soybeans, etc.)
- Nuts.
- Whole grains (wheat, buckwheat, brown rice, etc.).
- Butter (added to cereals and other dishes), which helps the absorption of calcium.
- Cartilage and bones of animals in processed form (boil jellied meat, jelly).
This category of patients should consume Caucasian khash soup (this first course is a unique source of energy). It is eaten by people who work in difficult conditions and are physically tired. Such a first course helps sick people get out of bed faster. It is recommended for patients with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, since the components present in it (abomasum, milk, scar, butter, kidney fat) accelerate the healing process of fractures. If the patient cannot find the ingredients necessary for the soup, he can prepare it according to a simplified recipe.
To prepare khash soup, you will need beef bones and spices (herbs, salt, garlic). Pour water (about 3 liters) into a large saucepan and add 1 kg of beef bones. The broth should be cooked over low heat for 4 hours. Add salt and spices before finishing cooking the soup. The first course should be consumed hot.

Mumiyo works wonders
People in ancient times knew about the healing properties of the mummy. This remedy is often prescribed to patients who have injuries of the musculoskeletal system, since it contains components that contribute to the rapid fusion of bone tissue. Due to the regular use of mummy, fractures heal within 3 weeks, which is several times less than the period of bone healing with traditional treatment.

Mumiyo has the following properties:
- accelerates the process of bone tissue regeneration;
- normalizes the level of calcium, potassium, phosphorus and other trace elements in the patient's blood;
- accelerates the healing process (for open fractures);
- prevents the development of infections in places of damage, etc.
In order for the mummy to benefit the body of a patient who has injuries of the musculoskeletal system, it must be taken as follows:
- For 10 days, it is necessary to take 0.2 g of mummy 1 time per day. This remedy should be taken two hours before meals with plenty of fluids.
- After a ten-day treatment course, you need to take a week break and repeat the treatment again.
- For patients who do not heal fractures for a long time, this course of treatment should be repeated 3 to 6 times.
Shilajit can be taken as a medicine along with various supplements. For example, in folk medicine there are recipes in which the mummy is mixed with 3-4 chicken yolks, or any vegetable oil. In such mixtures, the mummy is present in a standard dosage of 0.2 g. It should be taken 1 time per day, or use it for compresses, as an ointment.
The course of treatment is 10 days, after which a similar break is made, and the therapy is repeated again. If a patient is diagnosed with a moderate fracture, 2 full courses will be enough for him.
Patients with bone fractures are advised to use the following mixture for medicinal purposes:
- Take the components in equal proportions: burdock root, coltsfoot, lilac flowers, dandelion.
- All components must be folded into a liter jar, add 1 gram of mummy and pour vodka.
- The mixture should be infused for several days.
The resulting tincture can be used for compresses or lotions. It is ideal for elderly patients diagnosed with complex senile fractures.
