HOW BROKEN BONES HEAL

A bone can break due to fracture or osteoporosis, when bones become brittle and fracture easily. The fracture normally takes a few weeks to join back, with the orthopaedic's help- by putting a plaster/ cast, or sling to rest if it is a minor fracture, or with some screws.

There are different types of fractures- 
1) Complete fracture is when bone breaks into two distinct parts.
2)Hairline fracture when there is simply a crack on one side of the bone due to pressure.
3) Single fracture which occurs where there is breakage of the bone only in one place. 
4)A bowing fracture may occur when the bones bend instead of breaking completely. This kind of fracture is pretty common for children. 
5)The comminuted fracture happens when the bone is crushed or broken in many places. 
6)The open fracture is one where the bone ends up protruding from the skin. 

Treatment: Once a bone is broken,  an X ray is taken, which will help in understanding the type of fracture and the extent of the damage caused. The doctor will then apply a cast and plaster that will help in bringing the bone back to its normal position so that it grows back with the main bone. In case the bone has broken into various parts or there is a complete fracture, then the doctor may even insert metal pins to join the bone together.

  1. Natural healers: Bones are known as natural healers that can heal with the process of new cells and vessel production which rebuilds the bone by covering the broken ends and closing the gap caused due to the damage or the crack.
  2. Clot: Once a bone has broken, a blood clot or a callus forms in the surrounding region, which kind of acts towards sealing the area.
  3. Threads: Once these clots have formed, the new threads of the bone cells begin to grow slowly from the ends of the broken bones. This will grow on both sides of the affected and fractured bones, almost as if drawing a line from one broken end to another.
  4. Absorption: Finally, the callus will be absorbed by the new cell and the gap will close.
Consult your doctor is you are experiencing any noticeable symptoms that may point towards bone fractures.

We all want to live longer. But we also want to look and feel young while we do it. To achieve this, we of course must eat right, stay active and keep our minds sharp. However, it turns out that placing an ice cube at the back of our neck for a couple of minutes can also help. This point (as seen in the image) located close to the hairline, is called the "Feng Fu".

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), if you hold an ice cube to this spot, you'll awaken your body's balancing force, discovering also, an increase in joy and energy levels. To learn the advantages of this method and how to apply it, keep reading:
 
Lie on your stomach and put an ice cube on the feng fu pressure point. Leave it there for 20 minutes (you may need a towel to keep it in place). Do this on an empty stomach, regularly, with 2 to 3 day breaks in between, in the morning and at night before going to bed. Within a few days you should feel:
  • An elevation in your mood
  • Relief from headaches 
  • Better breathing 
  • An improved quality of sleep
  • Improved digestion 
  • Relief from cold symptoms 
  • Relief from tooth pain 
  • More energy and alertness
  • Fight problems in the parathyroid gland.

It may feel a little cold and uncomfortable at first, but after 30 seconds you'll start to feel heat. The first few days will give you a euphoric and happy feeling as endorphins are released into your system. 
 
According to Chinese medicine, the Feng Fu point is not a healing pressure point, it is, in fact, a pressure point that returns the body to its natural physiological state, so external factors that influence your health and your bodily processes may be neutralized by treating this point.
 
Modern medicine explains these effects by pointing out that the Feng Fu point is very close to our brain stem, and that is why it is not recommended for pregnant women, people with Schizophrenia or people with pacemakers. 
 
Try it out for yourselves when you're suffering from pain, feeling tired or feeling out of sorts and out of balance within your body.
