i only found out about this a few months back (from my mom, its a phillipino remedy)
ginger. if you have a sprain, pull, problems with ligaments, or just hurtin.
get a piece of ordinary ginger root, cut it up, mash it a bit (to get the juices) put it in the microwave for about 5 seconds, then put it diredtly on where you are injured. wrap it up, (with a cloth or a tensor) and leave it, for a few hours, or overnight if you want to.
at first you dont feel much, but once the juices start working, you will feel it. its like tiger balm but much better!
i'm not sure how it works, something with the juices, but it speeds up the healing (alot!)

i didnt think ginger would work when i was told to use it. (desperate situation: sunday night i can barely walk because of the ligaments in my knees are acting up again (ripped them the year before) and on the tuesday i'm off to the national karate championships) i put the ginger on my knees, monday morning i wake up, i can walk fine. tuesday, night, i'm tottaly healed. (fought without hurtin, brought home a silver medal)
only one side effect though, if you keep it on too long, the juices may effect your skin. visually you cannot see anything, and if you have cloth on it, its fine, but you may find that i water touched it, you get a burning sensation. (but no more injury so {i think} its worth it) --it will go away within the day you stop puttin the ginger on
(dont microwave it longer than 10 seconds, or it will be very hot when you put it on your skin the first time.)
