Herbs for Pain

Everyone on Earth has  had or will have pain. For some people pain is a headache once in awhile.  Some people have pain that lasts every second of every day of their lives

An herbalist will probably give you a few herbs at once. they will be an herb for pain, an antispasmodic  herb, a sedative  and finally an antidepressant.  To illustrate what I mean, here is an example: willow bark for the pain, cramp bark for spasms. Valerian for a sedative and St John’s wort as an antidepressant.

One herb for pain to try is bromelain. This herb is a pineapple extract and is also a powerful antiinmflammatory. Take 2-3g daily at first then as the pain starts to go  away.

Burdock is an herb that purifies the blood and helps pain go away.  This herb is taken as either 1-3 capsules or 10-25 drops of extract in 1 cup water daily.

Chamomile helps to get rid of the stress of muscle tissue. There are three ways to consume chamomile, either 1-3 cups tea . Ten to 20 drops of extract in 1 cup water daily or 1-3 capsules daily.

If you are having a stressful time  with your emotions, that  cause muscle tension, turn to tea. Makes teas with borage, lemon balm, valarian and St John’s wort.
