Would you be so kind and let me know the extent of your injuries? You are taking the methocarbamol for relaxing which muscles? Do a lot of hot/cold, get drinking some parsley tea and taking ashwaganda and ginsengs to help your body deal with the stress. Marilyn could use some to from the sounds of it. Also take some echinacea tincture or tea and up your TT. I can let you know more when you let me know more. In the meantime I will be praying for you and sending healing energy to both your and Marilyn. Peace be with you both . -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Thanks, Don! The muscle pain is all along the right side of my body. My neck and radiating up into my head. My shoulder, my back right above my hip, and my hip. It is strange, we were hit on the left side, but my right side hurts. I can turn my head to the left with little problem, but to the right is extremely painful. Same with my shoulder, back and hip. I stopped taking the perscription, and started on hot/cold therapy, using DTR as well. Thankfully, Marilyn appears to be uninjured. We both upped our TT intake, and have been taking ech every day anyway, but will increase it as well. For the nausea, I started us on ginger yesterday, will try the parsley as well. Not familiar with ashwaganda, what is it? Thank you again for the prayers and healing energy! Don Quai <mysticalherbalist@...> wrote: Hi ,So sorry to hear about this.

You got hit on the left hand side and your body reacted by bending left with a powerful uncontrolled right stretch. Gonna be some sore muscles there for a while. If you have any bruising helichrysum is very good for that. Do keep up with the hot/cold as it will do more good for those muscles than anything else. Ginseng either chineses, american or russian will help with your excess of stress. As for ashwaganda well read: Ashwaganda /Withania somnifera/ Ashwaganda Indian Ginseng Withania Uses <http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_ashwaganda.htm#uses> Considerations <http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_ashwaganda.htm#considerations> Herbs gallery - ashwaganda.jpg Ashwaganda is a plant in the same family as the tomato. It grows as a stout shrub that reaches a height of five feet (170 centimeters). Like the tomato, ashwaganda bears yellow flowers and red fruit, though the fruit is berrylike in size and shape. Ashwaganda grows prolifically in India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. All parts of the plant are used in herbal medicine. Ashwaganda is a Hindi name meaning " horse's smell. " The term refers not only to the smell of a horse, but also to a horse's strength. Some herbalists refer to ashwaganda as Indian ginseng <http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_ginseng_am.htm>, since it is used in ayurvedic medicine in the same way that ginseng is used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). USES Ashwaganda has been used for more than 2,500 years as a " vitalizer. " Today, we would place it in the category of adaptogens. It is rejuvenating, balancing, strengthening, and calming to the nervous system. Ashwaganda is useful for relieving fatigue <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/fatigue.htm>, nervous exhaustion, and memory loss <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/memory_loss.htm>. This herb also has a reputation as an aphrodisiac and is believed to help prevent sterility in males and sexual ailments. A mild sedative, ashwaganda reduces mental chatter and promotes calm sleep. It also promotes tissue regeneration and slows the aging <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/aging.htm> process. It is excellent for use in bodybuilding and for any type of physical sport, as it gives an instant charge of long-lasting energy without the use of stimulants. Benefits of ashwaganda for specific health conditions include the following: * Alzheimer's disease <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/alzheimers.htm> and memory problems. Ashwaganda helps correct memory loss by modifying the way in which the brain uses acetylcholine, a chemical that transmits messages from nerve cell to nerve cell. If oxygen levels are low, the brain acquires acetylcholine by destroying its own cells. The cell remnants form neurofibrillary tangles, blocking the transmission of nerve signals and resulting in Alzheimer's-like symptoms. Ashwaganda decreases the likelihood that the brain will cannibalize its own cells. This action reduces cognitive deficit and memory loss in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. * Arthritis <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/arthritis.htm> and carpal tunnel syndrome. Animal studies have found that naturally occurring steroids in ashwaganda are more potent than treatment with the synthetic steroid hydrocortisone for controlling inflammation. These natural steroidal compounds also reduce the pain <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/pain.htm> of arthritis as effectively as aspirin and phenylbutazone when given in the same amount, but without the immune-depressing side effects those drugs cause. * Autoimmune disorders. Ashwaganda increases red and white blood cell counts after treatment with azathioprine (lmuran), cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan, Neosar), or prednisone for autoimmune diseases such as lupus <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/lupus.htm>. * Cancer. <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/cancer.htm> Ashwaganda extracts increase platelet counts, red blood cell counts, and white blood cell counts during cancer chemotherapy treatment with cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan, Neosar). Animal studies in India also have found that ashwaganda sensitizes cancer cells to radiation treatment, making treatments approximately 50 percent more effective. Studies have shown that ashwaganda is helpful in putting cancer tumors into regression. * Sex drive, diminished. Ashwaganda is a sexual " grounding " herb that reduces the frequency of premature ejaculation and increases sexual stamina. Ashwaganda's active principles, alkaloids <http://www.herbs2000.com/miss/alkaloids.htm> and withanoloids, have longevity enhancing and sexually stimulating properties. * Stress <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/stress.htm>. Ayurvedic medicine has used ashwaganda as a general tonic for centuries to stimulate long-term endurance. Ashwaganda contains steroid like compounds that may increase resistance to stress. CONSIDERATIONS Ashwaganda is available in capsule form. The product you choose should be standardized for withanolides. When used to increase sex drive, ashwaganda should not be taken in instances of acute sexual anxiety <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/anxiety.htm>, as its effects take hold only after about one week of daily use. For the conditions listed above, be sure not to use a product called ashwaganda oil. That is a combination of ashwaganda with almond oil and rose <http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_rose.htm> water designed to be used as a facial toner. Do not eat ashwaganda berries, as they can cause severe gastrointestinal pain. Taking ashwaganda with tranquilizers may result in drowsiness and loss of coordination. You should avoid this herb if you are taking prescription drugs for anxiety, insomnia <http://www.herbs2000.com/disorders/insomnia.htm>, or a seizure disorder. I will continue to pray and send healing energy to you . -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
