Bone mending (Sandhaniya)

Sandhaniya are herbs that heal broken bones and hasten the repair of broken bone tissue. Guggul (Commiphora mukul) is famous for this. Resins have a significant role here because resins in general are considered to relate to the blood part of plants, just as the bark of trees is said to relate to bone tissue. The analogy is that just as resin heals the bark, so it heals the bone. They also encourage circulation to flow to the wounded part of the body and hasten healing.
