One very exotic and exciting cure is “Fire Cupping”
Someone from Trinidad and Tobago explained how this works:
For a sprained back or ‘dropped butchet’ (sprained muscle in chest somewhere)
“Lighted candles placed on several areas surrounding injury and each is carefully covered with a glass.
The candles flame uses up the oxygen in the glass so the space becomes a vacuum and the glass becomes ’sucked’ onto the skin. After some time (hour or 2) the glasses are removed and you’re left with raised circles on your back/chest. It definitely works. I had to go through this several times as a child when I lifted things that were too heavy for me.”
Other:
Lemon juice mixed with salt – consume twice a day
Comsumption of garlic – every day – less friends, but definitely no pain in the back
