Herbal Formulas for Pain

   In the news again is the drug abuse problem with OxyContin. Over 190,000 people have died from this one medication alone. I have never filled a prescription for pain medication even though it has been prescribed after dental treatment and surgeries. I have had great success with herbal formulas which are not addictive, you don't need a presctiption and they are affordable.  We will talk about pain formulas from Western Botanicals in this week’s article.

    Western Botanicals Pain Relief Formula: headaches, back pain, muscle pain, joint inflammation all cause annoying and sometimes debilitating pain. This non-narcotic, natural pain reliever is particularly suited for chronic pain. It relaxes and calms nervous irritation associated with pain.

    Western Botanicals Turmeric Combo is effective in dramatically reducing pain and inflammation. The herbs used in the Turmeric Combo are of the safest available, and can be used on a long-term basis without worry of interfering or reacting to other nutrients or drugs.

How Safe Is Your Medicine Cabinet?

    It is a sad story when you hear about people dying from an overdose of medication.  My son had a classmate who’s sister had sprained her ankle and the parents left her home to recover while they worked.  She was hurting from the sprain and took too much Tylenol over a number of days and died.  Most people don’t understand the dangers that are lurking in their own medicine cabinets, and kids certainly don’t either.  The best way to avoid this is to only have safe medicines in your home and we have found herbal medicine and essential oils to be safe and effective.  We are able to treat far more ailments at home than most people, and it is comforting to know if the kids get into the herbs or oils they aren’t going to hurt themselves.

    Western Botanicals Pain Relief Formula is a non-narcotic pain reliever, particularly suited for chronic pain. Relaxes and calms nervous irritation associated with pain. A good natural option is sometimes hard to find, Pain Relief Formula is helpful for head aches, back pain, muscle pain and joint inflammation. Available in capsules, extract and syrup.

    Western Botanicals Attention Focus and Attention Calm are a wonderful alternative to pharmaceutical options on the market.  Attention Calm is used for Attention Deficit problems where mental focus and clarity are a concern with hyperactivity.  Attention Focus is used for Attention Deficit problems where mental focus and clarity are a concern without hyperactivity. Available in capsules, extract and syrup.

    Western Botanicals Depression Formula: It is important to always deal with the underlying causes with depression.  Depression Formula along with regular exercise can be helpful in dealing with depression. The primary ingredient in Western Botanicals Depression formula is St. John's wort, which is known as a potent antidepressant.

I didn't know a sneeze could cause so much pain

Last Friday morning I had the windows open to take advantage of the nice little breeze.  A big wind came up and my husband ran around shutting all the windows, while I had a sneezing attack.  After sneezing about ten times I realized that I had thrown my back out in my “funny spot”.  This spot is in the lung area on my left side and it really isn’t funny when it goes out.  Every time I coughed or sneezed the pain was an intense stabbing pain.  Luckily I was able to get in to my Chiropractor,  he is the only Chiropractor that can ever get this spot back in for me.  I guess he is stuck with me, good thing he is younger than I am!!  After he got me all adjusted he asked if it felt better. I said no, but it never does feel better until I get some herbs in me to calm the muscles down.

    I started taking the Complete Tissue and Bone Formula along with the Pain Relief Formula and Anti-Inflammation Formula.  By bedtime I was still hurting so took some Kava Kava* which will usually do the trick of relaxing the muscles.  I woke up in the morning feeling worse than the day before and felt bad all day long, especially when I sneezed or coughed. I  took it easy all day and continued with the herbs hoping that by the next morning I would feel better.  That night before bed I asked my husband to put the Deep Heat Ointment on my back.  When I woke up in the morning I was still hurting but not as bad.  I had my husband put Deep Heat Ointment on me again and by early afternoon I was feeling much better.  He put it on me again before bed just to make sure. 

    I had been thinking that I would have to go to the Chiropractor again on Monday, but when I got up this morning I felt great!  It is amazing the difference the Deep Heat Ointment made.  I sure wish I had used it Friday, but at least the herbs work when you finally use the right one!

    I know people that have gone to the ER with problems like this.  They usually end up getting some muscle relaxant drugs, but to just walk into the ER is about $350.00.  My Chiropractic visit was $38.00 plus a few dollars in herbs.  I’m glad I know how to take care of myself, it sure saves us a lot of money!  Deep Heat is a Western Botanicals formula that I talked about a few months ago. You can read that blog here.  The $13.00 I spent on this bottle of Deep Heat Ointment has been so worth it! I love to use it on my shoulders and neck, it is so relaxing.  This is the best thing to relieve tired and sore muscles!

*Kava Kava is a great muscle relaxant herb.  Kava Kava is available in capsules, bulk and extract.
