A member asked:
Are herbal medicines good for ankle fractures?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Save your money.: Nature heals broken bones. Make sure you follow the instructions regarding immobilizing the fracture site and maintain good general nutrition with a balanced diet. The herbal remedies will drain your wallet more than help the fracture heal faster.

Possible: The use of the term "herbal medicines" is very broad, as there are literally hundreds of such out in the market. Theoretically, medicines (herbal or otherwise) can be used to try to relieve pain and swelling associated with an ankle fracture to varying degrees of success.
