Chinese herbs for pain and anxiety

[guynfl2chat]

Has anyone any luck with Chinese Herbs for pain and anxiety? I have an accupuncturist that is making me a Chinese herbs mixture to help.

Talk to your pharmacist if you are taking other meds. “Natural” doesn’t mean they aren’t chemicals. There can be interactions. A good online resource is WebMD. I have not used anything but I personally need data to back it and a lot of those are anecdotal. I don’t care how long they have used it. If there is a chance that something like that would help there have probably been studies.

You are absolutely correct Blueruth. xx

I was reading about some of the herbs ans I agree look for interactions with other meds. I am looking to use an alternative to this pain killer/antidepressant that I just started.

You might check out the book "The anti-anxiety food solution" by Trudy Scott, it has good information on natural supplements and diet changes for anxiety and mood.

We have had amazing results from Kratom. My wife has severe back issues and got away from opiates after using Kratom. I have knee and leg pain and it works for me as well.
