Dear Bob Liebert,

I suffer from what my neurologist calls trigeminal neuralgia. What herb or herbs would / could help relieve the nerve pressure and should there be anything, should it be topically applied or taken internally?

Mark

Dear Friend,

Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain of the facial nerves. I would suggest our Nervaid Formula (with the herbs Valerian, Skullcap and Passion Flower), and the extracts of Chamomile and Hops all taken together. The latter two can be applied externally as well.

You can buy these herbs and many more in the Formula and Single Herb sections of the Teeter Creek Herb website. Herbs that don't appear in the Formula or Single Herb lists can usually be requested in the "Message" section at the bottom of the order page.

The information expressed is the personal observations of Herbalist Bob Liebert based on his personal experience and his studies of folk and traditional herbalism. These observations are not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical diagnosis and treatment. Uses of many of the herbs have not been scientifically verified.
