I came on this
thread to mention the herb gotu kola. I have just bought a pound to take as tea to support the plantar fasciitis which has been plaguing me for more than a year. It is said to support rapid and healthy skin hair and nail growth, and speed healing of wounds, hyperextended or sprained joints and stretched or injured ligaments, and improves vascular health.
I just had my first cup of tea, and I have nothing to report yet. I plan to drink it for three months. By then I
should have had a chance to observe it’s effects.
Another herb that supports healthy hair is
nettle. It has lots of minerals, and some protein I believe. Starwest, Frontier co-op, Mountain
Rose and San Francisco herb company are all reliable herb companies if you need a source for bulk herbs.
Interesting that you also are dealing with plantar fasciitis. There’s a thread all about that if you’re interested. Lots of experiences with cause and cure, which differs between individuals.
