Help with Sprain - PEP BB medicine.straw.sprain

Dee turned her ankle while playing ball. After 1.5 weeks of icing and St. John's Wort salve and some rest it still wasn't improving. She went to the dr. and learned it was sprained. They gave her a air splint and I added my poultice blend to her treatment. After 3 missed ball games and a few set backs she's better.

Her version "Iced, poultice, got better then I over did it and it got worse but now I'm better. I did not like the salve because it was oily."

My friend, Patient #2, was playing hard outside with the neighbors and sprained her ankle. The ankle had nearly full range with a little bit of pain when flexing the foot; severity mild.

I suggested:
--RICE: rest, immobilize, cold, and elevating. I provided her tea, hot and cold compresses, salve, reading material, and propped her leg up.
--applying ice and a hot rice bag intermittently 15 mins of ice on, 15 mins off, 15 mins of heat on, 15 mins off.
--an herbal tea that I blend with peppermint, stinging nettle, raspberry leaf, red clover, burdock root, dandelion leaves, lavender, rose petals, arnica, calendula, mullein leaves, rose hips, and hibiscus.
--misting a rose absolut hydrosol on her to relax.
--applying an ease and grace salve that a friend made with poplar buds, solomon seal, arnica, boneset, st john's wort, self-heal frankincense, camphor, MSM, tallow, jojoba oil, castor oil, and beeswax.

Description of success:
Patient #2 followed all of my instructions for the first 3 hours and then became restless to play and be active. She enjoyed two cups of tea, did 3 rounds of ice and heat. She sprayed the rose hydrosol numerous times and applied the salve twice. After 3 hours, Patient #2 said that her leg was "totally better now" and was unwilling to continue to be immobilized. In observing her gait it appeared that she was better (no limping). She also chose to play stationary games in the afternoon. There were no additional complaints of ankle pain by that evening.
