Pain Releif - Herbal Treatment

Me and my wife suffered from joint pain and intercostal neuralgia for the past 8-10 years, since our active camping times.
painkillers are what doctors usually had been giving, and that's what we usually had, with help or no help.
few months ago i found an article in the health forum (if i find it, i post a link here) about simple herbal treatment:
10 minute warm bath + 1 snogg patch applied for 3 days (even if they say it's a 6-patch treatment - 1-2 is usually enough). i don't know what it does, but several weeks passed, and the pain in the chest and knees is gone...
sometimes simple things do major job...

Meant to add.... I have a close friend that is also a nurse. She has severe cervical spine and shoulder pain. It makes her absolutely miserable and can put her down for days.She tried all the conventional medications and treatment. Against my advice and better judgement she found a Chiropractor that now controls her pain better then anyone or anything.

So who can tell what will be effective for a particular person or their pain? As long as something isn't dangerous or isn't an obvious, ridiculously over-priced scam and it has no danger of seriously hurt you ....it's worth a try.

Mike,

I saw a D.O.(Doctor of Osteopathy)  for (OMT) Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy in my home state until she took as Directorship early this year. She is a marvelous, astute physician that I trusted with my life. She diagnosed me correctly after years of pain that no one else could diagnosis.  

I see a wonderful PMP for 7- 8 months a year when I am out of state. The PMP cannot believe how well the DO controls my pain with OMT. Your comment brought his statement to mind when we discussed OMT. He said, "I can't explain how or why it works, it just does."

I am searching for another D.O. with her skills. No one has measured up however OMT still relieves my pain better then any other treatments or procedures that I have had. Who would have thought that ???? Certainly not me.

We're just blessed when we find something that works for us.

Hi Mike,

I am glad to hear that you and your wife have found pain relief through Herbal Treatments. It's rare that they will take your pain away at 100%. .... especially nerve pain (neuralgia).

You are correct, sometimes it is simply things that help us. I am glad that was true for you.

Wishing you continued pain relief,
~Tuck
