Cell Salts for Joints
“My wife tore her ACL. Anyone have experience with this?”
This injury comes up all the time. Our knees are magical and complicated and work hard, and once in a while we go right and they go left, and then suddenly no one is going anywhere.
So when I saw that question, I put together a quick table on that specific type of injury, whether recent or old. There are five cell salts covered in this table, addressing just this issue. I recommend trying to narrow it down to two or three in rotation daily for a couple of weeks, observing any change in the symptoms, and changing the rotation as needed. I always take a break after a couple weeks to see what happens with symptoms.
