sciatica Herbs for remedies
Even 40 years after the car accident
that almost ended my life, lower back pain is still is a constant, unwelcome
presence. My favorite remedy? Cayenne
pepper oil , daily yoga and long walks to keep my back muscles in shape.
Pain is a personal thing. What works as an effective pain reliever for one
person, does nothing for another. Chronic pain is a symptom of an underlying
imbalance, and it is important to address that imbalance as well as try to
find ways to lessen the pain. Herbal remedies often use herb
infused oils and liniments to treat nerve pain of all kinds: lower back
pain, sciatica, muscle aches, fibromyalgia and arthritic nerve pain.
The pain that follows a shingles outbreak is notoriously hard to treat. Topical applications of ravensara, Castor Oil, and Tamanu Oil can help.
In addition
to trying herbal remedies, you may also wish to explore acupuncture and professional
massage therapy. Physical therapy techniques can be especially effective for
nerve pain. The most important thing is to never give up, never surrender,
and keep going until you find the your own personal answer.
