Anti-neuralgic

Anti-neuralgic agents work by soothing irritated nerves, reducing inflammation, and modulating pain signals in the nervous system. These remedies are often used for conditions such as sciatica, shingles, or trigeminal neuralgia. Many herbs with anti-neuralgic properties also have nervine or anti-inflammatory actions. St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is a traditional remedy for nerve pain, particularly for sharp, shooting sensations associated with nerve damage. California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) offers mild sedative and pain-relieving effects that can calm nerve discomfort. Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), a nervine, supports the nervous system by reducing inflammation and tension in nerve pathways. These herbs provide natural relief while supporting nerve health and recovery.
