We attended out last Homeschooling Group outing today. It was at a large Rec Center with some really neat pools and Water Slides. Hubby was playing football with the twins in the pool and caught the ball wrong and really obviously broke his finger.
Any good home remedies to reduce pain and swelling? He is at Urgent Care as we speak. Likely they will set it, but I would like something natural for him as he can not take pain pills and work the big machines at work.

Try arnica. We've used it for broken bones, sprains and big bumps. It seems to work realy well for us. I'm so sorry your dh broke his finger. OUCH! I 'll pray it heals quickly.

oh yes arnica.. I'd give it several times a day for the first few days at least.. also pineapple and ginger (they provide more relief together than the sum of what they'd do seperately) you can get bromelain (pineapple) and ginger in caps from a health food store.. or you can just put pineapple in the blender and grate some fresh ginger into it and then blend with some juice and ice or if you need to buffer the acid some milk or ice cream would be good in it.

scrub the fresh ginger without peeling it.. and just tuck it into the freezer in a baggie.. you can pull it straight from the freezer and grate it frozen.. don't peel it, the best oils are between the skin and flesh so grating with the peel on retains those.

Also anything that you body needs to heal bones.. umm calcium.. I can't get to my book but a websearch should turn up more.

Comfrey is simply fantastic for this sort of thing.

Rescue Remedy as soon as he gets back, then arnica tablets 4x per day for the first few days. Arnica cream is wonderful for healing, but after reading the "Comfrey Rocks" story, I suggest comfrey at first during the traumatic part - then Arnica for the healing/recovery.
