Do you mix those with water or make a tincture or rub on as they come,
Raven?

I would advise the use of essential oils for the pain and inflammation.
Heritage essential oils has a blend called bones and joints that would be
perfect. You might also want to use Birch, Coriander, German Chamomile,
Ginger, Oregano, Marjoram, Turmeric, or Vetiver. Lots of options there, and
some of them are in the same family, but any of them will help tremendously.
