Fibromyalgia has been known to be teatable by Teasel and fibromyalgia is similar to Neuropathy. My mother has neuropathy that is presenting itself in the sole of her feet. She has had this issue for over a year, and is slowly improving through other methods. Does anyone have any experience with using Teasel Tincture to treat Neuropathy. What does the group think about Teasel Tincture being used for a Neuropathy case?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve used teasel for Lyme’s disease, fibromyalgia and MS with good results. I think it would be worth a try for neuralgia. Taking Alpha lipoic and gamma linoleic acid are both also quite helpful for neuropathy particularly if it’s diabetic neuropathy. You can get them in the grocery store or pharmacy in the vitamin section.

You can also get GLA from Evening Primrose seed. Moore says the seed is easy to collect. They are REALLY tiny.

Patrick, do you think a tincture of the seeds would extract the GLA or do you have to express the oil out of them?

Interesting question. I don’t know.
