HERBAL REMEDIES FOR CALCINOSIS? CHANCA PIEDRA TEA OR ESSAIC TEA?

Hi everyone,

Let me 1st start off by saying I absolutely love this group!

I just got a whole wad of calcinosis cutis removed from my elbow, and I'm discovering now I believe several digits on my right hand have them as well. My fingers feel kind of swollen and lumpy and I can see some bursting through.

What are the typical remedies for reducing these? I read about Chanca Piedra tea and Essaic tea and wanted to know if anyone had success with that? I'm terrified my fingers will start to look horrible if I don't do something soon.

Thank u!

I'm not sure. I had a massive lump fall out of the bottom of my hand that had abcessed. I was on antibiotics for ages. I hope that it doesn't come back in the same spot!
