Tendinitis occurs when the connective tissue from the muscle to the bone becomes inflamed. These tendons are less vascular than muscles, so they have a tendency to heal slower. There are, however, some herbs and other natural remedies that can help to speed up the healing of the tendons.

Arnica reduces inflammation and helps with pain, but also brings an increase in circulation to the area affected. Rub a bit of arnica on the area and it will ease the soreness. Be patient, as tendons will take their own time to heal.

Turmeric and ginger are both antioxidants that help to repair tissue and get rid of free radicals that can create diseases. They will increase circulation and reduce inflammation which will help speed up the healing process.

Licorice root is another antioxidant that reduces inflammation, stress, and will support the healing process.

Gravel root, also known as Queen of the Meadow Root, is great to help with joint pain and is widely used in herbal formulas to combat inflammation.

Eucommia bark is a healing herbs that is powerful and works great at repairing the connective tissue of the body. It speeds up healing and help with inflammation all while lowering blood pressure.

Butchers bloom uses circulation increasing and inflammation soothing properties to speed up the healing process while removing excess fluids from the area.

Devil’s claw is great to be used for tendon pain alone, but when combined with Arnica and comfrey to make a paste it can work wonders.

Boswellia can be taken internally or add it into a cream or ointment to be used topically. It is a powerful herb that helps to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation.

Ice packs work great for all kinds of swelling, bruising, inflammation, and even pain especially in athletes or those who get injured while jogging. Vitamins and minerals are very important as well. Take in all the nutrients you can so the body thrives. Your body will create enzymatic pathways for feeling when it is aided with all-natural vitamin and mineral supplements.

Mulberry bark improves blood flow and prevents muscle spasms to help relieve the pain caused by tendonitis.

Detoxing the body with a dandelion root, burdock root, and milk thistle can help to get rid of inflammation. Other great things to take for tendonitis are omega-3 fatty acids, collagen, glucosamine, evening Primrose oil, cayenne, horsetail, fenugreek, and white willow bark.

Eating green leafy vegetables will alkalize the body and keep inflammation under control. Drinking green juices, especially those with celery juice or cucumber, will help in reducing inflammation and pain. Tart cherry juice will also aid in helping inflammation.

What to avoid

Do not consume soda, alcohol, fast food, GMOs, wheat, processed food, unnecessary antibiotics, artificial colors, preservatives, flavorings, food additives, salt and nitrates especially. The salt and nitrates are known to cause inflammation.

Recommendations

The human touch is more healing than most people might think—getting a massage will increase the circulation to the ligaments and tendons. Most importantly, take it easy—tendonitis takes time to heal. Completely stop all physical exertion that could cause aggravation to the injury.
