Pain Support Herbs |

Some of our favorite pain
relieving herbal allies include
skullcap, valerian, turmeric,
willow bark, St. John's wort,
motherwort, black cohosh,
wild yam, lavender, cayenne,
kava kava, and rose.
Essential oils of pine,
lavender, peppermint,
cinnamon, rose, clove,
frankincense, rosemary,
ginger, juniper, and birch also
are used traditionally as pain
relievers and are well-
documented analgesic agents.
Put 10-12 drops of any one of
these essential oils in one
ounce of a carrier oil such as
olive or coconut. Shake well
and then rub into painful,
swollen joints to allay pain
and inflammation. |
