Hot Compress for Swelling and/or Pain:
Use one Teaspoon of each per cup of water.
Sage
Peppermint
Eucalyptus
Raspberry
Chamomile
Boil herbs in a non-metal pan, until they reach a heavy boil, turn off burner and put lid on pan. Let herbs seep for 5 minutes. Strain herbs through a strainer. Use a cloth of any kind and dip it into the herbal solution. Apply compress to swollen area, trying to keep the compress as hot as possible. This will draw out the pain and the fever, giving you comfort. My husband can attest that this remedy works really well
