Release physical pressure on the nerves

Nerve ‘entrapment’, or pressure, is such a common cause of nerve pain that it should be assumed to be playing a significant role unless there is strong evidence to the contrary. Classical pinched nerve conditions like carpal tunnel or ‘wry neck’ are well known examples but this can equally be the core issue in lumbago and many other types of neuralgias.

Releasing physical pressure on the nerves should be done physically. There is every reason to go to any amount of trouble to find the best person available to help you do this. The name of their speciality (e.g. chiropractic, osteopathic, neuromuscular therapist, massage therapist) is of secondary importance. What matters is that they are very good at what they do and will give their best effort to help you. The same advice I give in how to find a good herbalist applies in finding a good physical therapist.

Keep the blood clean and from being sticky

This has been a core issue for the people with nerve pain that I have worked with. Their blood under the microscope is sticky and laden with excess debris. Read what is detoxification and follow the practical steps of the cleansing diet. Again, find a good herbalist to help you get the herbal part of this right as it is mainly what works. Improving blood flow is equally helpful and I have seen Cayenne work very well for nerve pain.

Use herbs that relax and nourish the nervous system

For chronic nerve pain I deeply appreciate the healing power of St Johns wort. Other herbal medicines that may be equally beneficial for the right person are Wild Yam, Cramp Bark, Skullcap and Valerian. Nerve pain can be profoundly debilitating. At the time of writing with well over 20 years full time practice I can truthfully say I have had a run of excellent results in this area, especially when we have combined the work of a physical therapist with the cleansing and nerve tonic herbs. Any good herbalist will likely be able to help you too.
