As I am laid up here in the Uk, chomping at the bit to get back toTurkey, I got to thinking. What natural/homeopathic remedies have you heard of that are supposed to make you heal faster.
Couple of Turkish ones from cookery class. Village women squeeze the juice of a mushroom in ears for ear complaints. When it,s a young girl,s special time of the month they put cinnamon on bananas to eat to alleviate cramps.

Vitamin K found in leafy greens are excellent for many aspects of our health. A second more comprehensive list listing nutritional ratings can also be found further down the page.

I am afraid, due to experience that the only thing you can do for the first 6 weeks is to rest and wriggle your toes as much as possible, as soon as you get the plaster off go to physio and do all the exercises they give you as much as possible, then when you are mobile get moving and ignore the pain, you are strong you can do it :)
