Knee swelling

I totally agree with the advice to see an MD in
order to rule out blood clots. But meanwhile, here
is a harmless folk remedy for sore knees that actually
works for some people. I learned it from my all-time
favorite Home Support client who was a natural heath
fanatic.

You need some rags of pure wool, and some of either
cotton or linen. Wet the cotton or linen rags with
luke-warm water. Wrap around the knee. Wrap wool
over it. Now I can't remember if she tied plastic over
that, but the key is the damp cotton and wool.

Somehow the wool wicks the swelling away. I told this
to a young woman I met in the Hot Springs here. I saw
her again a few weeks later, and she told me it had
worked!

Worth a try and harmless, like any good folk remedy.
