Herbs for Fibromyalgia

The condition known as fibromyalgia is defined in the medical literature as being a type of rheumatic disorder; symptoms include the presence of a persistent and widespread muscle pain along with extreme physical fatigue.

St. Johns Wort and Balm of Gilead when used externally is an anti-inflammatory with pain reducing effects for fibromyalgia.

A tea or herbal capsule of Sarsaparilla and/or celery seed.

Tincture of Devil's Claw used three times a day every day.

Or perhaps Balm of Gilead in either tea or pill form.

A outward usage of Cayenne Pepper ointment will also help. Add Cayenne Pepper (red pepper) to petroleum jelly (can be powdered but fresh cayenne will work best) let heat over low heat until melted together.

Take out all of the cayenne except one and put the cayenne ointment in a jar to cool (an old cold cream jar would be good) and use it as needed. Make sure to wash your hands before you touch your face.

Basil essential oil will also help the effects of fibromyalgia.

As always, relaxing teas and capsules such as kava kava, valerian, jamaican dogwood, skullcap, and rosemary can help. They relax the muscles and therefore can relieve pain.

Also any vitamins for boosting the immune system is recommended.

Wise Tips

Many of the traditional herbal healers were the wise women, living in villages, who commanded great respect and not a little fear, because of their healing powers. The rise of allopathic medicine and its use of inorganic chemical was accompanied by the systematic disparagement of the woman's powers to heal using natural herbs and other plants. During the 17th century many women were ultimately commended as witches, tried by mob, and burned at the stake for drowned, for practicing natural herbal medicine. That's all behind us now, thankfully. Although a certain stigma is attached to alternative medicine, and those who practice it, traditional remedies from Western culture and beyond are becoming increasingly accepted as valuable by the mainstream practitioners of our health service.
