Medicinal Action

Nerve pain
Nerve pain occurs when nerve fibers are damaged or malfunction, sending incorrect pain signals to the brain. This type of pain is commonly associated with conditions like sciatica, diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), shingles (post-herpetic neuralgia), or injuries. Herbal remedies such as Jamaican dogwood (Piscidia piscipula), St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), and California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) are traditionally used to soothe nerve-related discomfort and reduce inflammation. Supporting nerve repair with adaptogens like ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) or nervines like skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) can enhance resilience and recovery. Complementary therapies like acupuncture, gentle stretching, and heat applications are also helpful.
