Herbs for Chronic and acute Pain

  Herbs for Chronic and Acute Pain



Herbal Allies for Pain Relief
Some of my favorite pain relieving herbal allies include skullcap, cannabis, valerian, turmeric, poppy, willow bark, 

St. John's wort, angelica, motherwort, black cohosh, wild yam, lavender, cayenne, kava kava, and rose. Essential

 oils of pine, lavender, peppermint, cinnamon, rose, clove, frankincense, rosemary, ginger, juniper, bay and birch 

also are traditionally used as pain relievers and are well-documented analgesic agents. Put 10-12 drops of any

 one of these essential oils in one ounce of a carrier oil such as olive or coconut. Shake well and then rub into 

painful, swollen joints to allay pain and inflammation.

If you suffer from chronic pain, try drinking four to six cups of skullcap infusions daily, or take 10-15 drops of 

skullcap tincture four to six times daily. Use skullcap as needed, as often as every few minutes, in acute

 situations. Skullcap quiets the nervous system, and so will be a valuable ally if you suffer from chronic pain. A 

combination of equal parts skullcap, St. John's wort, and oatstraw is particularly effective for calming the nervous 

system, and thus easing pain.

tiAlso you can try Devilsclaw..it is a african herb and does a great job on pain.
