  • Natural remedy to reduce swelling Posted February 28, 2019

    WHY is swelling a bad sign? And how can Bexters crystals help?

    Swelling is often a symptom of inflammation, a result of increased fluid and/or white blood cells to the affected area – the body’s response to aid the healing process.

    Such swelling caused by injury, accident or chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, is a natural defence to protect the injured/affected area and forcing us to reduce movement which can hinder everyday activity.

    Inflammation is a natural healing response when the body recognises damage caused by injury, infection or some other irritation. In addition to swelling other effects include redness, pain, heat and loss of normal function. It is most frequently seen in the joints or around strained or torn ligaments, muscles and tendons.

    Swelling and inflammation, not always simultaneously but quite often found together, are most common within the sporting community as well as those suffering from chronic arthritic conditions or repetitive tasks. Seek advice from a GP, a complementary therapist or physiotherapist to identify the cause and ensure the best treatment to help the body to recover.

    If swelling is left untreated for too long it can lead to serious discomfort and slows recovery time be it from sporting injury, intensive training, an unfortunate accident or post-surgery such as knee replacement. Prolonged inflammation can also cause knock-on problems, leading to chronic and repeat swelling with potential for tissue damage.

    Bexters crystals, first used widely by the Bowen community after endorsement by Tom Bowen, provide effective, natural relief from swelling and pain to ease discomfort and accelerate recovery. For maximum results use the crystals with our purpose-designed applicator wrap.

    Now here's a question for you... why is it that women suffer more badly from joint problems?
    Here at Bowen Supplies HQ we've been pondering this question after spotting a survey from Nuffield Health which showed eight in ten women had experienced joint pain at some point. Out of 8,000 people (over age 16) surveyed almost half of women with painful joints said it was so bad they couldn't sleep, with 40 per cent reporting it affected their mental health. This compared to only 34 per cent of the men.
    Helen's experience shows that men often present with knee and ankle pain from sport-related injuries while for women it often leads to arthritis-related conditions. And of course, work-related conditions can impact the way joints respond.
    Whatever the cause, be it men or women of any age, we know from positive feedback that our natural award-winning products can bring relief from pain, swelling and inflammation.
    As we reach the end of Rheumatoid Arthritis Week, we invite you to take a look at our website for details of Bowtech Ease oil and Bexters crystals to read how others have found them beneficial.
