Sage (Шалфей)

[faridaro]

Came across some Russian website describing a few herbal treatments of PD - for clarification - those treatments are not a cure but symptomatic, just for tremor reduction. Here is the link (for Russian literate individuals) :

Some remedies are quite simple and I picked one using sage (ordered 1 lb of organic sage on Amazon). If anyone is interested, here is the recipe:

Pour 250 ml of boiling water over 1 TBSP of dried rubbed sage in the thermos and let it brew overnight. Strain in the morning and take 1 teaspoon of sage infusion 1 hour after a meal with a glass of water.

The article doesn't say how many times/day to take it, but I am going to try (may be 1TBSP, 1teaspoon doesn't seem to be sufficient) 3 times/day and after a month will let you know if it reduces tremor.

On my cell phone I am able to translate to English from different languages, I don't know if you can do it on your computer also?

Yes, anybody can run it on a computer through google translate and although it is not a perfect translation, it will give you an idea.

Please let me know. I have a bad tremor

[faridaro in reply to Rosabellazita]

I will.

This was the first thing my dad tried. It didn't work for him.

Good to know, thanks for sharing. I don't have high hopes but thought it would not hurt to try.

I have tried high quality essential oils that are much more concentrated and have had great results with tremor. I quit taking mucuna for 5 days and usually I have a slight tremor when not taking it. I used Frankincense and black cedar on the back of my neck and that worked really well. Then I saw that cedarwood has a much higher level of sesquiterpenes so I added that and black pepper oil as well. Still have great results but my Dr agreed I needed the mucuna as I had slight drool issue and neck pain, he did reduce the mucuna and the oils are an important part of what I do. I can credit that with someone on here mentioning it. Sesquiterpenes are able to cross the blood brain barrier and oxygenate it.

Cedarwood cedrene, thujopsene Approximately 70%

Patchouli bulnesene, guaiene Approximately 65%

Vetiver vatirenene, seychellane, cubebene Approximately 65%

Ginger zingiberene, sesquiphellandrene, curcumene Approximately 55%

Ylang Ylang germacrene, caryophyllene, farnesene Approximately 55%

Myrrh myrrh sesquiterpenoid, elemene Approximately 55%

Helichrysum himachalene, curcumene Approximately 40%

Melissa germacrene, caryophyllene Approximately 40%

Black Pepper caryophyllene Approximately 25%

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been curious about essential oils but never tried any and this is a good reminder to explore the subject (apparently cedarwood and black cedar are different species and I've never heard of sesquiterpenes) - there is so much to learn! Will be following your posts and hope to get more details!

I've used EOs for a number of years for various things and PD only in a general way. I decided to concentrate on a particular therapy with high sesquiterpenes oils for PD. I was encouraged by a fellow oiler that Northern lights black spruce oil is good for PD, I will have to look up the particulars and will post it later. I was also told about a citrus fresh blend that helps with glutathione use in the brain. I suppose a combo of lemon, grapefruit, orange, tangerine, etc would be similar. I use Frankincense directly on the roof of my mouth as it is a direct line to the brain. Inhilation is also a direct line to the brain.
