Would comfrey tea benefit a small rotator cuff tear?

Can't answer that. I'm using it for gums/teeth (not been very persistent/consistent) in conjunction with Dr. Christopher's Complete Bone and Tissue Formula. http://amzn.to/1rCTu3s

Likely, yes.The healing properties of comfrey would certainly help and couldn't hurt.

I use it to work out. I had rotator cuff surgery sometime ago and think it could have been helpful. The one I used then from my orthopedic surgeon was more restrictive to help the healing process. Hope this helps.

I wore it for the 3 hours and was able to do a few things that I haven't been able to do, and it helped. It didn't fully get rid of the pain, but it definitely helped it a little. I'm not sure if it would prevent further injury, my shoulder is so bad that i can't lift my arm

I use it on occasion for general well being. However, my wife uses it daily and it's recommended by her diet of Trim Healthy Mama. She's lost 25lbs in 2 months. Without exercise. She uses four tea bags in a big mason jar with some concoction of her diet. Careful, it does contain caffeine and it has interrupted her sleep. I wouldn't recommend drinking 4 teabags too late in the evening.

This product is great for correcting your shoulder position, but it won't strengthen your shoulder, sounds like you should consider physical therapy also.

I think yes. I hardly used it, it's in the freezer. ;-)) FYI, FWIW: I fixed my 85 year old "severely arthritic" left shoulder with weight machines that built muscle around the joint. It still hurts occasionally but is very manageable. A far better solution than surgery or shots.

No, it's a different type of tea plant entirely. The low caffeine, antioxidants and minerals also make it more healthy and easier on your system than black tea or even green tea. No tummy aches :)

I can't answer that from a medical standpoint, but I have had 2 broken vertebrae and have two crushed discs with sciatica on both sides and it gives me relief. I have had to put it away for a while as I now have a fractured rib and torn rotator cuff on the left side. I love it and was using it 4 or 5 times a day, sometimes just for a minute or two, but loved the relief. Built like a tank, I'm 250 lbs.

Yes, it can be used on your shoulder. But I wouldn't recommend the product, unless you are just in extreme pain & don't mind dropping $30+ for short-term relief. I tried 2 different ones; 1 lasted 3 days, the other less than 1 day.

I don't have any personal experience with tendonitis, but my "reference guide to using essential oils" says this-"If pain and inflammation are results of torn or infected ligaments or tendons, then lemongrass and helichrysum can be helpful when added to any of the above oils." The oils mentioned that could be used were wintergreen, marjoram, basil, cypress, balsam fir, ginger, lavender, peppermint & rosemary. You would not use all of the oils, but could try them in turn. Most oils are used by the drop, but it depends on the size area you are treating. If you are treating a large area, dilute equal drops of oil with vegetable oil. If therapeutic oils ever feel too warm, dilute with a vegetable oil, not water. If sensitivity develops stop using for a while. Good luck! TK

I would recommend it if it is a muscle tissue strain or related to that nature. It would be soothing for dog.

HI again! I wanted to add that topical treatments like this are a must.But there are some fantastic supplemental formulas too. CURAMIN is such a strong pain reliever that it out does my prescriptive pain relievers for certain types of pain. And I've had my shoulder pulled out of the socket by muscle spasms and then held there for a year while my massage therapist worked on tearing my muscles back into shape and it popped back in.

Curcumin has excellent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Tendonitis may or may not respond to it but I would not expect quick change. Tendons take a long time to heal even when the cause of the inflammation is gone such as a repetitive motion. I had tendonitis in both elbows from my job and it took a year to resolve without curcumin at the time. Even if you do not see discernable improvement, curcumin is worth taking anyway. This particular product is high quality. I chose it after thorough research. Interestingly, research shows just taking a moderate amount is more effective than a large dose so 500mg should be enough. Hope your pain is soon improved. Curcumin has excellent anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Tendonitis may or may not respond to it but I would not expect quick change.

I am not sure but I want to say that it is. This product did an amazing job for me. It helped me heal from a shoulder injury. I did not expect the results I got because I started taking it for a totally different purpose. But within weeks I noticed less stiffness in my joints, better tone to my skin and a much faster rate of healing. Try it.

I had inderstood one daily dose per bottle. We generally drink one for breakfast to substitufe for a breakfast fruit juice, the pomegranet being our favorite, or have one over ice early afternoon to cool off in our Texas heat. We like the taste and feel they make enough difference in our arthritic pain lever to make them worth while. It is not a cure nor will it get rid of ALL thw pain.Occasionally we drinl two a day and certainly has not caused us any problems. Hope this helps.

I am 72 years old and have both Rotator cuff and knee problems. My trainer introduced me to Resistance Band training and I'm so impressed I'm buying a set to use at home. For work on your Rotator Cuff ask an experienced trainer for the specific exercises you need (I went to Physical Therapy). Start light and then gradually increase the resistance and number of reps. This process should be pain free. If it hurts, lighten the weight or the number of reps. For arthritis, I advise start light, and just work through any discomfort.
