Question: Do You Have An At Home Remedy!?
What can you do for a known sprained ankle at home to make it more comfortable and make it heal quicker!? How long does it take to heal!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Take ibuprofen to minimize inflammation (which is an enemy of healing)
I'd take MSM to provide support for tissue repair!. Flex the joint regularly to keep blood flowing through (brings growth factors to the joint to stimulate repair)!. Keep weight off it to prevent the pressure on the ankle which could cause further damage!.
How long it takes to heal depends on the severity of the sprain!.
for sprains: rest ice compression elevation, after 24 hours, heat to help disperse and resorb blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Raise the ankle and ice to reduce swelling!. It should heal within a week!. Usually 2-3 days, depending on the severity of the sprain!. I am studying for my bachelors in Holistic Nutrition and if I remember right, you could probably eat or take supplements of vitamin C, Zinc!. I know those things can also be used when recovering from a cold, but I had a foot surgery 2 years ago and when you eat more of those things containing Zinc and vitamin C, it can help in the healing process!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ice and Ace bandages!. Wrap it firmly, but not too tight!. Also, keep it elevated above the level of your heart, to help with circulation!. A sprain can heal as quick as a few days or as long as a few weeks depending on how severe it is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

most people say soak it in epsom salt with water as hot as you can handle,it helps take the swelling out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
