Ask The Herbalist

My mother had a mastectomy about 33 yrs ago and her arm has always been swollen. Now as she becomes older it is getting larger than ever. She takes meds from the doctor, I think they are fluid pills, this doesn't seem to help and it keeps her running to the restroom so much she doesn't take the full prescription. What do you suggest for her problem? She also has heart problems that limit her from a lot of exercises.

Swollen-ness deals with fluid retention and perhaps inflammation. Have her rub carrier oil (olive oil, coconut oil, etc.) on the swollen skin and then rub in some peppermint and/or euclayptus oil (3-4 drops) on top of the carrier oil. Have her soak in hot water and sea salt. Dherbs formulas I recommend are Headache And Pain Formula , Central Nervous System formula, and Kidneys, Bladder & Adrenals.
