In terms of essential oils, use marjoram or cypress - use some drops of them, pure or diluted in a vegetable oil and massage for an analgesic effect. Not more than three times per day.<\/p> <p>When it is not performed till the sprain gets better, the ligament is less reactive and the flexion of the ankle is not complete. \"This greatly increases
