Re: Remedies for nerves.

Toni,

Sometimes St. s wort works and sometimes it doesn't... It was originally used for

neuralgic conditions such as sciatica and hip pain. It was also used as a balm for wounds, burns, ulcers and bites.

The old adage what works on one may or may not work on another..

just came across this on a web journey....

Remedies for nerves When the nerves are disordered we get the message: Pain! Whether the pain be caused by cerebrospinal congestion, swollen, inflamed muscles, pinched vertebra, disc degeneration causing the pinching or some other problem, there are a few very important remedies for the nerves. First is the famous St. ’s Wort. In addition to its famous action on depression (still not disproven by Pfizer’s ridiculous study on the subject), hypericum is a remedy for nerve damage, pain, and inflammation. The pains of St. ’s Wort are sharp, shoot along the nerve, are sudden and very painful, like a pinched nerve, and usually indicate inflammation. It is best to give St. ’s Wort at night, so that the spine can rest. Here are a few case histories, though they do not involve the spine. About 15 years ago I got a call late at night from one of my friends, a student at chiropractic college. His wife stuck an awl up

under her fingernail and it was exceedingly painful and now there was a red stripe up the arm. He asked what they should do? “Why don’t you go to the emergency room?” was my instinctive response. Well, they weren’t going to do that and I knew they wouldn’t. Some people hate medical doctors, and they were in that group. I thought to myself, “they have a homeopathic home remedy kit and that has some hypericum.” She took some and the next day the redness was gone and the pain was significantly better. I could tell the story about my cousin cutting off his fingers and getting them sewed back on and using hypericum and how he can still play the banjo fine, or the farmer that cut off the tip of his finger and lost a lot of flesh and recovered well; this remedy has the most gruesome stories and sometimes the doctor is sorely needed. The second great nervine for pain and injury is less well-known. If you go out on the back side of my farm and bumble into the bushes you will soon be

rewarded by torn clothing and skin from the thorns on the prickly ash bush. The branches look like the flagellum, the barbed whips the Romans used on Jesus and other people at that time. They cause pain and they cure it. I remember the first time I used prickly ash, the woman was literally writhing in agony. She couldn’t sit in the chair. Prickly ash made it nicely better and, though never without some pain, always livable. Another woman tore a disc in her neck. She was writhing in agony. Her 16-year-old daughter had to drive her over. We had to give her prickly ash every five minutes. “Just take it whenever you need it.” After three weeks she was down to a dose or two a day. Then I gave her remedies for a torn disc (see below) and that healed up in another few weeks. Prickly ash is the remedy for severe pain, also for numbness and tingling. One of my co-creators in the alternative medicine world, Kern, gave it to a woman who had a numb spot on her face for 35 years, following

a car accident. In one hour the sensation came back. The nerves were not dead, just subpar.

Well, I am definitely looking for something for the outside of him as opposed to the inside. There is just no way on Earth he would take anything internal being that he is taking all these meds. A couple of months ago he looked vibrant inspite of it all. Now he looks ill, tired and worn. It just breaks my heart that something more happens apon him to cause more pain.

Thank you all for all the suggestions

I will gather up everything and see what I can do
