Friends,

Can those of you with nerve issues share how you treat those symptoms? Which herbs and/or supplements do you find helpful? Thanks very much. smile

BKP,

I just Jernigan protocol and one of their products is Anti-Toxx CNS (central nervous system). I use that product.

I also use calm-mag cream on neck, arms, shoulders, legs, magnesium spray (same) and essential oils on bottoms of feet. A lyme blend that I think helps everything.

I drink Yogi bedtime tea and add Anxiety soother (Herb Pharm) tincture to calm everything down at night.

Can you be a little more specific about what you are wanting help with? There's calming the symptoms, healing the nervous system and then there's healing the myelin sheath.

For healing the myelin sheath (protective covering around nerves), I'm having success with Lion's mane.

For calming and some healing of the nervous system, I am having success with avena sativa (oats in the milky stage) tincture.

I haven't gotten to the stage of trying to heal my nervous system specifically, but will get to that as well, as I build up my treatments.

Traveler turned me on to the use of Avena Sativa, which is made from the milky stage of oat tops. Has a rather pleasant taste.

I order mine from Sagewoman and take a couple droppers full twice a day, more if needed, and if you take it in hot(not boiling) water it feels more effective as well as faster.

Do take Milk Thistle or other liver supporting herbs at the same time, if you can.


I hope you aren't referring to nerve pain, but rather the feelings of nervousness from stress. I wasn't quite sure.

Hi! Thanks for the replies. To answer your questions, I'm looking to do both: to heal the myelin sheath and to calm the nervousness from stress. I get occasional nerve pain and shakiness. I've heard of lion's mane, I'm going to try that. I've never heard of avena sativa but I'm going to look it up. Do I need to take Milk Thistle when taking herbs? I'm hoping one of the other dozen supplements I'm taking could do what MT does? Thank you so much for the information.

Trav and July,

Thank you!

I need to order Lions Mane and Avena Sativa. Do they come in Tincture.

Did you herx? I know everyone is different.

I wonder if I can take LM with the Anti-Toxx CNS.

How do you guys know which herbs are ok to mix?

Thanks.

Milk thistle helps to protect the liver by helping it to detox better. Yes, if you tolerate it, then you should use it daily even with herbs.

Some, like me, can't tolerate milk thistle. I can't because I have a pretty good allergy to ragweed, and the plants are closely enough related that I can't tolerate the milk thistle, so I have to rely on other means to detox my liver.

I've been using avena sativa for the last 7 years, and I won't go without it. It helps with my anxiety as well as my nerves and is healing and calming to the entire nervous system. It doesn't work for everyone, but it's amazing for those that it does work for.

I'm assuming these will help with my bad burning issues mostly in legs but also jumps around like the twitches

For twitching, you may need to add in magnesium, but if it's from nerves misfiring, yes it will help, but it will take a bit for the nerves to heal, remember. Stay on these items for 3 - 4 weeks before deciding they aren't helping.

I ordered Lion's Mane with my replacement Knotweed this afternoon from Sagewoman. That place only offers in in capsules, but I don't mind, I can open them up and divide the powder up in anything from what I read, so I don't have to take a whole one at first. This couldn't be all that bad, it's an edible mushroom!

I didn't find that Buhner had a whole lot to say about it but it did say that it's generally well tolerated, so that was hopeful, but knowing you and your son both can be a little sensitive to new stuff, anything can be dose reduced.

From what I've been reading on here, I would take any new herbs a half hour away from any of the combos like Anti-Tox, just to hedge your bets.


ETA: on advice I did start the avena sativa on just one drop of tincture my first day, but I built up quickly and went through my first 2 ounces in a little over a month. I'm almost halfway through my 4 oz bottle already.
