Atypical Facial Pain

What you need to know:

This extremely painful condition often responds well to natural therapies.

The most useful Herbs:

Cayenne
St John’s Wort - but not if you’re taking blood thinning drugs, some anti-depressants or immuno-suppressers
Vervain
Chamomile
Valerian
Essential oils of lavender, marjoram, rosemary - for massage or in the bath

Other useful advice:

Of all the natural therapies, Acupuncture is the one most likely to relieve the pain.

Vitamin B complex with extra B12, Flax seed oil and fish oils are valuable supplements. Chewing is often painful for people with these conditions, so soups enriched with yeast extract are particularly nourishing. Traditional home-made chicken soup is excellent thanks to its content of B vitamins and healing enzymes.
