The most effective herbal preparation for pain I have developed, is a mixture of three herbs.
First there is tumeric, at about 65% of the total. Thus is a proven anti-inflammatory herbal medicine that does Not harm The Gi Tract. It also supports the liver functions; and is one of the few herbals that even pharmacists recognize as useful.
Next, is Boswellia at about 30% of the total. It provides added anti-inflammatory strength, and has been used for pain since the time of Christ himself. Boswellia is fairly easy to get, you need only grind up frankincense tears into a powder. This makes it biologically absorbable; by increasing the surface area. It also does not attack the GI system, which means you can take it daily with no ill effects.
The final herb is Black Pepper at 5%, and it is important because it helps the body absorb the Tumeric. This means a person can take less Tumeric for the same level of relief. As with all medicine, taking less is wise, and saves money. This small smount of Black Pepper cuts the Tumeric volume in half, and it seems to help the Boswellia absorb better too.
Place them in a jar like this:
The top is the Black Pepper, the light color is the Boswellia (a little short but I needed capsules badly), and the yellow is the Tumeric. Mix it, and make OO sized vegetarian capsules. Start with 4, I take 8; but take the minimum amount that handles your problem!
I find these handle my three back surgeries, better that oxycodone (which I can get easily, but is poison) and prescription anti-inflammatories (that eat my stomach)! This mix helps my system function properly, instead of slowly killing me.
Stay Healthy and pain free, my Friends!
