Recently I broke my foot in several places and have not yet gained back my "freedom" so to speak. I am in a walking cast and am not allowed to take it off for any length of time. I am not allowed to "walk" or do exercises untiil I can walk without help again. I would like to find an herbal additive or something that I can use. Please only serious posts. Thanks!

i've herad peppermint aids digestions, and i know that chewing gum will speed up digestion. so...i'd say...mint gum. also, zinc acts as a catalyst with hydrochloric acid. that'll speed things up, too. prolly help you heal up faster. drink milk, too! at least 3 glasses a day. that's not for metabolism so much as it's for your foot ;-)

Uh, no. To raise your metabolism try eating several small meals throughout the day instead of 3 big meals. Also, drink plenty of water and excercise your arms until you can walk. Use weights. Muscle requires more calories than fat so, your metabolism will rise. Don't worry, you won't look bulky if you use a lower sized weight and lots of repeatition but, you will gain muscle mass.

This is a good one for all kinds of body aches-- sprains, strains, bruises. not sure how it will do for a broken bone, but it certainly won't hurt for you to try it out! it's called Arnica. it can be found at almost any herbal store.
