Herbal Remedies For Back Pain

There are a number of different problems that can be cured by either herbal or vitamin therapy.  One of the problems that may be overlooked as far as this is concerned is back pain.  If you are experiencing a backache or if you have persistent pain, you might want to look into an herbal treatment to see if it will help for you.  Here are some of the most popular and, it would seem, most effective treatments that work for someone with back pain.

Capsaicin Cream - This is a type of cream that comes from an extract of chili peppers and is actually the ingredient in chili peppers that gives them their distinctive burn.  Have you ever felt the way the chili peppers burn in your mouth?  This cream can do much the same for you as far as your back is concerned whenever it is applied topically.  According to some studies, Capsaicin cream actually shows promise in helping people who have persistent back pain.  It is available at almost any drugstore.  If you're going to apply Capsaicin Cream, make sure that you wear gloves because it would burn if you touched an open area or your eyes.

Vitamin B12 - This amazing vitamin has been shown to help people who have lower back pain.  It is a good idea for you to be supplementing with this vitamin on a regular basis anyway because it helps a number of other problems which are not related to back pain.  For example, B12 can help with memory impairment, depression and irritability.  Many people who experience panic attacks experience them because of a deficiency of vitamin B12.  Take this vitamin for your good health.

Willow Bark - The bark of the willow tree has pain relieving properties that are similar to what you would find in aspirin.  By rubbing this bark or a product that was made from willow bark directly onto the area that hurts, you may be able to relieve some of the inflammation and pain that you are experiencing.

There are a number of different herbal remedies that help with back pain, these being a few of the more effective ones.  Depending on why you are experiencing the pain there may be one cure that works better for you.  Experiment a little bit and try to find the one that helps the most.

my willow trees bark is peeling on some branches and the leaves are dying?

tree is 4 and had a lot of smaller dead branches this spring i cut most off and treated for fungus and fertilized i am seeing more damage not bad yet but i dont want to lose my tree

Hi,

Ok, let's start at the beginning... when you transplanted it did you give it sufficient water to take hold?

Are the leaves that are dropping yellow or what color.

Is the tree next to a water source...pond, stream etc?

Have you fertilized the tree since it was planted?

I would suggest deep watering with a root feeder like the one offered at www.rootfeed.com

That type of device will assure that water and nutrients are getting to the root system.

I would feed the tree with the rootfeeder once a month with something like Miracle-Gro. The rootfeeder is sold with an accessory dry fertilizer applicator.

I think if you water and fertilize the willow and do it once a month during the growing period, you have a great chance at saving your tree.

Trees are expensive to replace...consider this when you think about what is need to save your tree.

Thanks for asking....If you would like more information on plants, landscaping and nature visit my website at www.dagardenguy.com
