Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Are there herbal solutions for pain such as headache, body aches, etc? Not necessarily related to common cold or flu but general pain. I know there is a "linimint" for some sports injuries, my son's Kung Fu instructors are brewing some. But what else is there? I am also interested in something to treat allergies and eczema. I am allergic to hydrocordizone and don't want to even try this new prescription creme that's advertised so heavily. Mine unfortunately appears on my genitals, of all places! So, obviously I would need to be careful of what is applied. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hi Jesse, I use herbal " teas " for my pains and headaches. Red clover, feverfew and red respberry leaf is a standard morning tea, with ground cayenne and ground ginger. Sometimes I add nettle, or use instead of raspberry. That helps the morning aches and ward off the migraines. Rosemary tea is great. For nerve pain, trigeminal neuralgia (face pain) and muscle spasms I found a mix of 1/2 part lobelia, 1 part blue vervain, 1 1/2 part nettle works so well. Nettle tea alone can be pretty soothing. Can't help with the others, but plenty in here can. Also want to mention that as I have gotten away from prescription meds and processed foods I have many fewer headaches and am much better physically. (Still working on that cleanse, procrastination!)

(Still > working on that cleanse, procrastination!) Can anyone give me suggestions about what to use for RSD/CRPS (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy aka Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)? It's 82x more painful than end-stage cancer (according to research), and my entire lower legs from the knees to the soles of my feet are in Stage I and II, with certain areas headed for Stage III (muscle and tissue atrophy, along with bone demineralization). I'm currently taking a magnesium/malic acid supplement, along with a joint supplement (MSM, Chondroitin Sulfate, and Glucosamine). -- Sara Greathouse in Ohio sfatula Owner: TPW_Health_Forum Moderator: PagansWithChronicPain Standing Together for Adequate Treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
