Are there any herbal remedies to calm your nerves?

What Homeopathic Remedies should I take?

  • I get a lot of muscle pains in my neck so I've been on muscle relaxers and would like to stop taking them. I would like to try some some homeopathic remedies but I'm not sure what to take and if it's possible to take too many. I have arthritis in my neck, herniated and bulging discs that press on some nerves and cause arm pain. My neck muscles are always very tensed and painful. Also, I would like to know what the difference is between different remedies. Some answers I've read say to take Arnica 200 but where I order from they only have 30X or 30C and I don't know the differences. If someone could please help answer what remedies are useful, the differences of the # after the remedy and where to order them I would great appreciate it.

  • Answer:

    If there's not a homeopath near you, ABC Homeopathy offers an extensive questionnaire on their site. It's kinda' like the Materia Medica in questionnaire form. After completing it, they suggest remedies that may help. You can buy them from ABC or go to a different site, such as National Homeotherapeutic. You can also check the second link below to find a homeopath near you. Have you considered acupuncture as a supplemental therapy to homeopathy? I would also recommend aromatherapy; however some essential oils do antidote homeopathy. If you'd like me to suggest an oil blend, please feel free to email me.

I am answering because no one else has actually addressed your questions. Firstly let me highly suggest actually seeing a good Classical Homeopath, as opposed to self prescribing and only treating from a palliative perspective. A good practitioner will deal w/ the "why" of the pain, instead of just treating the pain itself. Be very careful in taking advice from strangers online. Especially concerning your health. As for specifically taking Arnica, I don't know if it would work now or not. It would greatly depend on the nature of the pain. The numbers you refer to are indicating the potency or strength of the remedy. In your case I would go w/ at least the 30C if not the 200C. They are much higher in potency than the 30X. You can buy most remedies online from Amazon. I would also suggest visiting a good chiro, osteopath or kiniesiologist asap. They are all in the business of taking care of your specific symptom set. Feel free to email me at [email protected] w/ your hometown or city and I may know a good practitioner in your area. Best of luck

Would it not be more wise to treat the problem? Rather than try to reduce the symptoms? When was the last time you visited your neighborhood chiropractor? That is something they deal with daily..

Arthritis Definition: Inflammation of the joints. Arthritis is an ailment of the body that is an old chronic condition. There are many forms: such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis which are different from the common variety of arthritis. The joints become enlarged and painful, being very tender to any movement or pressure (the pain may be constant or intermittent). Often the hands draw back or to one side, and in chronic conditions, the muscles shrink and will eventually wither away. This affliction may have a decided effect on childbirth, both to the mother and the newborn child. Cause: Arthritis is caused by acids and waste matter in the body, which eventually become solidified and lock the joint. This condition is caused and aggravated by improper diet. Some of the worst intakes are eggs, bread, milk, meat, salt, sugar, etc., because they cause arthritic calcification. The use of extremely hard water (generally of twelve or more grains in hardness) will often accentuate an arthritic condition where softer water will help relieve it. Sometimes an individual with a good inherent structure can throw off the hardest water without arthritic effect. The weaker person may drink water that is not very hard and absorb from it relatively larger quantities of the inorganic minerals. Herbal Aids: 1. Bowels: For eliminating toxic substances from the bowels, one may use a high enema of slippery elm or white oak bark tea. The system should be cleansed by a daily sweat bath with pleurisy root; massage (except the inflamed joints) with angelica, black cohosh, buckthorn bark, colombo, gentian root, skullcap, or valerian root. One may use poultices such as cayenne, lobelia, mullein, slippery elm for relieving pain of the swollen joints; liniments of oils, such as cayenne, coconut, lobelia, origanum are also good. 2. Chaparral: Drink the tea (infusion for 3 weeks, after which the capsules or tablets may be used. 3. See formula for arthritis using sarsaparilla, yellow parilla, distilled water and glycerine. 4. Arthritis, Painful and Swollen Joints: Cover a small quantity of mullein with boiling hot vinegar, cover closely and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Strain and add a little tincture of cayenne (powerful stimulant and rubefacient) and a tincture or fluid extract of lobelia (as a relaxant). Foment this on the affected area. 5. Cayenne: It is an old standby and is used in modern medicine yet today. It is used in counter-irritant ointments, for sore muscles, arthritis, etc.; in liniments, back plasters and in many other ways. You will see it listed as capsicum in the ingredients. 6. Apple Cider Vinegar: A fomentation of apple cider vinegar alone will often take the pains out of arthritis, rheumatism and similar conditions. Soak a Turkish towel or gauze or similar material in hot tea, lightly wring (just enough that the water will not run off the body), and place as hot as possible without causing blistering. Generally keep the fomentation moist and warm by placing plastics, oilcloth, etc. over fomentation. 7. Eggs: These are one of the main contributors to arthritis. 8. Milk and Milk Products: These are harmful to many people, both adults and infants. Milk is a contributing factor in constipation, chronic fatigue, arthritis. 9. Dr. Christopher's Arthritis Formula:This combination consists of yucca, hydrangea root, Brigham herb, chaparral, lobelia, burdock root, sarsaparilla, wild lettuce, valerian, wormwood, cayenne, black cohosh, and black walnut. Here is a combination of herbs that detoxify; act as a solvent for the accepted but not assimilated calcium deposits; herbs that relieve pain; herbs rich in new acceptable organic calcium that can be assimilated and useful; herbs that kill fungus and infection and that have the ability to give wonderful relief. This relief is not immediate because here is a long rebuilding job--gradual relief can come, and full healing, if the program is followed faithfully: a cup two or three times a day (two tablets or capsules in Brigham tea or steam-distilled water). Use as a hot fomentation over extremely painful or crippled areas (in addition to this formula), formula called bone, flesh and cartilage [BF&C]. Even though one uses these aids yet continues on with improper diet, one may get some help, but not so much as going all the way. Remember the teachings for years have been -- "No healing in this condition." We are giving you hope if you will follow through with these formulas and the mucusless diet. 10. Red Sun Balm Salve: This penetrating salve contains olive oil, cayenne, oil of wintergreen, pure distilled mint crystals, and other herb oils, in a beeswax base It is excellent for stiff necks, sore muscles, headaches, pain, stiff joints, arthritis, etc. Testimonials: 1. Young Man with Arthritis and Polio Out of Wheelchair in One Year: Using the Incurables program, we are able to relate the following story. In Mesa, Arizona, a young man in his middle twenties was brought into our lecture hall in a wheel chair. He was badly crippled with a combination of polio and arthritis. He was lifted out of his chair and placed on a pile of pillows. I would glance over at times and could see the severe pain he was suffering. During the lecture we discussed the program we have just outlined. After the lecture he said he would like to try it. A practical nurse from another town offered to take him to her home and help him get well. They followed the routine accurately and one year later we saw him again. Just before the lecture started, in the same hall as the year before, a young man walked down the aisle to the front of the hall and asked to speak. We granted him the permission. In his short talk he advised the people to listen to the lectures and put them to use. He told how he had listened one year before as he sat on the pillows in the hall and had the desire to start on this natural program. Prior to this night he had been told he would never be out of the wheelchair, unless it was to be in a hospital bed, the rest of his days. With the help of the kindly nurse, he was now able to walk so well that he was traveling on foot, house to house, selling, to try and pay off his large hospital and doctor bills. As he walked back to his seat he had tears of gratitude in his eyes. There are many outstanding cases but these two can give you a picture of what can be done with the good, wholistic program. Use it carefully and accurately for complete, long-lasting health. 2.Yucca: The following people took the Yucca saponin mentioned in # 14 above: A forty-six-year-old woman who had had arthritic pain in her hands and knees for several years took two tablets twice a day for two weeks. The pain was relieved after one week, with no side effects. A 57 year old man had had bursitis for six months in both elbows; he was a tennis player and the pain became severe after playing tennis. He took one tablet per day for three weeks, then a half tablet per day for four months, then one tablet per day thereafter. Within three days he had a slight reduction in pain. The pain was completely eliminated after 21 days. The pain returned when the Yucca was discontinued for two days, and left within 24 hours when it was resumed. After five months use was stopped, the symptoms did not return for two weeks. There were no side effects. A female who had had arthritis for nine years, with enlarged joints in her hands, which she couldn't close, had to take aspirin every day for the pain. She was 75 years old. She began to take a half tablet twice a day for 70 days. After 30 days, the pain left, and she was able to close both hands except for one finger. The swelling reduced, and she had no side effects. A 75-year-old male had had arthritis for many years, with pain in the joints of the legs, especially the right knee. He took one tablet twice a day in coffee for one month. There was a slow reduction in pain and stiffness. Both gradually returned when the use of Yucca was stopped. However, some people who had had arthritis for many years took two to four tablets a day for months, and received no effects on the arthritis, though no side effects, either. As Moore says, "Arthritis being such an idiosyncratic disorder no single treatment will help more than a percentage of people, but if Yucca tea is effective, it can relieve pain for several days afterward" (Moore:170). In the research reported above, many more people who took Yucca were helped than those who were not. 3. From a Letter to Dr. Christopher's Newsletter: "We like the herbs very much, the oil of garlic has done wonders for arthritis in the knees." 4. From a Letter to Dr. Christopher's Newsletter: "I have a friend who had had eight major surgeries. She lived in constant pain, very seldom was she able to go places and her physician had told her their was nothing more they could do. "She went on Dr. Christopher's Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet. She started on herbs to cleanse the colon, the blood [Red Clover Comb.] Cayenne, Calc tea, Yucca AR, Herbal Eyebright, etc. In a matter of about three weeks, her pain was gone. She was able to start living again. In about 3 or 4 months her arthritis left her. 5. From a Letter to Dr. Christopher's Newsletter: "I have tried your comfrey herb combination for dissolving calcified bone spurs (caused by arthritis when a teenager). My metatarsal arch in left foot was in such bad shape, it had become very painful to walk. The herb began bringing results immediately."
