Winter seems to be the best time of year to rebuild the bones and tendons of the body.  This is why it is important to take more bone building herbs during winter. Another interesting find is that because the ears contain tiny bones, herbs that rebuild the bones, also have been shown to restore hearing in some cases. One example is the amazing healing power of the Essential Oil Helichrysum, which some people have had success in using to restore declining hearing. Also it has been used to heal and repair bone fractures.

Bone Building Methods also Rebuild Hearing

Because our ear nerves are made up of tiny bones, herbs that also rebuild bones, also heal hearing. The inner ear is hollow, embedded in the temporal bone, the densest bone of the body. The middle ear, an air-filled cavity behind the ear drum (tympanic membrane), includes the three ear bones or ossicles: the malleus (or hammer), incus (or anvil), and stapes (or stirrup).

The literature and the aromatherapy lists are full of anecdotal evidence of Helichrysum Italicuum Essential Oil's amazing power when used on broken bones , stories of doctors being amazed that the break healed in half the estimated time, etc.

Another excellent example is the herb Black Cohosh which heals fractures and deafness.  This is usually combined with Garlic in Dr. Christopher's Program. Marjoram has also the same qualities, it is also good for healing cavities. More about his program can be found at this address:

Bike Enthusiasts and Bone Loss

People who bike 20 or miles per week are susceptible to bone loss.  Biking along with roads, helps diminish this loss.  Calcium is removed from the body via sweat.  Vibration, tapping, running and similar movements that induce vibration into the bones, help re-build bone mass. You can find more in-depth studies done over the years at this address:

Tips for those who bicycle daily:

Consumption of soda removes calcium from the bones. So eliminate or reduce intake, especially in the late afternoon, when your body absorbs nutrients the most.

Be sure to get at least 1,200mg of calcium daily. During winter take more vitamin D to boost calcium absorption.

Push ups, back strengthening exercises and resistances exercises rebuild bone mass.

Running strengthens the shin bones.  Mountain bikers have higher bone density than competitive bikers. This is due to the facat that mountain bikers bike uphill more and encounter more vibration in their bones due to the rough conditions. Bicycling into medium to strong windy conditions has the same muscle resistance effect as mountain biking. These conditions are usually most common along the coast and in areas of high open land or mountain areas.

Strontium Ranelate is a supplement proven for over 50 years to build bones. Over the past 50 years, no major side effects have been shown to occur, so this is a tried and proven remedy.
