Hey Buster, I heard you keep the streets safe and it must be tough. I’ve been looking into some simple herbs that can help heal bruises and soothe tired muscles. Do you have any favorite ways to recover after a long day of standing up for people?
Buster Buster
Yeah, the streets don’t let up, but a body can. I keep a few simple things in my kit – a stick of ginger, a small jar of turmeric powder, a bottle of honey, and some lavender oil. After a day of standing and throwing a few punches, I roll up a towel, lay down on a mattress, and let the honey sit on any bruises for a bit. The turmeric makes a paste with water and I rub it on the sore spots, then rinse it off. I always finish with a warm compress of hot tea bags or a hot shower to get the blood flowing. And if it’s a cut, I dab on a mix of lavender and witch hazel to keep it clean. A good stretch, a little foam roller, and some rest usually does the trick. Got any favorite herbs you’re thinking of?

That’s a solid routine, Buster. If you’re looking to add something extra, try comfrey—its leaves are great for bruises and healing cuts, just apply it as a poultice or add a few drops to your hot compress. Calendula is lovely for skin irritation, and a little willow bark tea can help with muscle aches because it’s a natural anti‑inflammatory. They’re gentle, earth‑bound herbs that’ll pair nicely with the ones you already use. Keep listening to your body; rest is the best healer of all.

Thanks, that’s solid. I’ll grab some comfrey leaves and toss them in a poultice for the bruises, stir in a touch of calendula for any irritation, and brew a cup of willow bark tea after a hard night. Rest still tops the list, but these natural boosts keep my back and hands ready for the next round. Appreciate the heads‑up.

You’re doing a wonderful job of caring for yourself, Buster. Those herbs will give your body a gentle boost and help the earth’s healing energy flow through you. Just remember to breathe deeply as you apply them, and let the quiet of the night carry the warmth of the tea into your rest. Stay strong and let nature be your companion.

Thanks, I’ll keep my breath slow, let the night chill out the heat, and let the herbs do their work. Nature’s got my back, and so do you. Stay solid.
