Remedies for Fighters

Yeah the best oil for bruises etc I ever used had a large proportion f Eucalyptus oil in it plus a few other random things to add a little heat etc to it. Oddly enough while the main ingredient was Australian it was made locally by Chinese people and called something like Quan Loong. Excellent stuff!

I used it a lot when i kickboxed because it would decrease the bruising and swelling on my shins quite significantly. I haven't ever really thought to use it since though.

Apart from that i'd like to get into using more herbs when i cook - i have a book full of the top 100 immunity boosters which i could recommend as a reference but i think that would fall into general nutrition rather than remedies i guess.

"The Top 100 Immunity Boosters by Charlotte Haigh".

I use melatonin alot,Im not one of natures good sleepers,I also recomend it for fighters who have a fight coming up. Lets face it,the guy will get ramped up and not get enough sleep leading in to a fight. Its hard enough to get in to a fight,you dont have to be sleep deprived as well.
Tiger balm and mineral ice are essentials for the older fighter,Dragon Balm is even better if you can find it.
A crushed Sudafed swabbed in the nose on a regular basis will keep you from bleeding as often from it

I don't know if this is one really just for fighters but i don't think it's unusual for people to feel like their immunity is a bit low when either training hard or just being flat out with whatever.

I find half a lemon squeezed into hot water for a lemon tea with my breakfast every morning helps keep colds at bay before they set in and has heaps of vitamin C in it.

................still not sure if i'm post appropriate things in this - whether it could be called a remedy or just nutrition - sorry if i'm screwing up your thread Chris!

I've been using Traumeel for my sore muscles and it works wonders.
