Spraining-

In order to keep the bones in their place in the body, nature has kept them tight by means of fibers at the joints. These fibers allow the various organs to twist or rotate within a limit.

If any part of the body, like the claw of the foot or the arm of the hand, suddenly turns or rotates, then the fibers of the joint break. This is called a sprain. This causes unbearable pain.

When a sprain occurs, there is great pain in the joint and the muscles near it. Swelling occurs at the joint and the area turns blue. The joint gets stiff and its movement stops.

Remedy-

Keep the strips of hot and cold water alternately for five minutes on the sprained place. Cholera is a very dangerous and fast-spreading infectious disease. It spreads more in the summer and rainy season.
