There is nothing worse than nerve pain.
This latest bout
with sciatic nerve pain has been surprisingly interesting.
In the past, I have suffered with extreme pain in my lower back, left hip and leg. I have always had an adverse reaction when taking prescription pain medications, so, I would just rely on ice and heat, massages, and lots of prayer for relief.
In 2016, I met a wonderful Christian Chiropractor who treated me for sciatic nerve pain by keeping my body in alignment so the disc would not pinch the nerves, thus irritating them.
A few years ago, the sciatic
nerve became pinched when once again my vertebras came out of alignment, and the spacing between the L4 and L5 vertebras were narrow. The doctor gave me a series of disc decompression treatments. My vertebras came back into alignment with proper spacing between the discs basically relieving the sciatic nerve pain. I have not had any problems until last week.
I can always tell when my body is out of alignment. I will start feeling achy in the hip area. That had been the case for the last month, and I just kept putting off going to the chiropractor. Big mistake. I turned, my back caught, and the stabbing pain began. I was out of town for a week so I could not go see my chiropractor. When I got home, I went to see my favorite doctor for an adjustment. He used a percussion therapy device and hand manipulation to get the
tendons to release. My body was too tight for an adjustment.
In addition to going to see the chiropractor, I started taking Dr. Christopher’s herbal formulas Relax-Eze and Nerve Sheath, as well as the Complete Tissue & Bone Formulas. As a Master Herbalist, I know the importance of feeding the body so that it can heal
itself.
Relax-Eze and Nerve Sheath are both nerve formulas. Relax-Eze soothes the nervous system, helps calm nerves and supports restful sleep.
Per Dr. Christopher’s Herbal
Legacy website “Nerves” article, the Relax-Eze formula has been used “with great success for well over thirty years. It is used for relieving nervous tension and insomnia; it is mildly stimulating and yet lessens the irritability and excitement of the nervous system and also lessens or reduces pain. This formula contains herbs that feed and revitalize the motor nerve at the base of the skull (medulla area and upper cervicals), and also herbs that help rebuild or feed the spinal cord. This group
of herbs will also rebuild the frayed nerve sheath, the nerve itself, and its capillaries.”
The Nerve Sheath Formula nourishes the protective covering of nerves and supports the central nervous system.
Since a tendon was involved in the leg pain, I also included the Complete Tissue & Bone Formula. This formula nourishes and supports the structural integrity of the body’s bones, flesh, cartilage, skin, connective tissues, hair, nails, teeth, and gums. The Complete Tissue & Bone Formula also comes in a massage oil, as well as an ointment. Massaging it into the tendon helped to relax the tendon and ease the pain.
For each of these formulas, you take two capsules three times daily. In an acute situation, you take five capsules five times daily. I took the acute dosage and within two days I was pain-free. That is a blessing and healing of the Lord.
As the nerves healed, the tendons also healed. I continue to take the capsules five times a day for another week (total of 14 days) but lowered the dosage from five to two capsules. Then finally one capsule.
I noticed I was sleeping a lot when taking the acute dosage of the nerve formulas. One of the formulas
contains hops, skullcap, and valerian, which are all sedative herbs. Sleeping is a good thing. It helps your body to regenerate and heal.
I have never recovered so fast from sciatic nerve pain as I have in taking the herbs. Thank you Lord for creating the herbs that nourish all aspects of the body. Greek physician Hippocrates said:
“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”.
I hope this information is helpful to you in your healing journey. Trusting in God and in His herbs,
