Oral and Topical Use of Supplements and Botanicals to Help Alleviate Pain and Adverse Side Effects
Low Dog discusses how an herbalist might formulate a specific pain remedy for a patient.
An appropriate analgesic for arthritis accompanied by indigestion, for example, might be devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) extracts with at least 50 mg per day harpagoside; however, the strong bitter should not be used by anyone with gastric ulcers. Ginger (Zingiber officinale), a strong anti-inflammatory, stimulates and eases digestion and is often used in anti-arthritic herbal formulas. Bromelain from pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a common digestive supplement but also has anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic and fibrinolytic effects. However, it must be used with caution in clients who also take drugs metabolized by CYP2D9 enzymes.
