One may ask oneself if there really are medicinal herbs that can help with this problem. The Department of Physiology at the Federal University of Sergipe (in Brazil) found that different natural remedies can help reduce the symptoms of fibromyalgia on different fronts. However, we need to emphasize that these will obviously not have a healing effect to the point where one will be able to go back to your normal activities without a trace of pain or fatigue. These medicinal herbs can only help relieve the symptoms of fibromyalgia, thus making it more tolerable if used in combination with other treatments and strategies such as prescription drugs, psychological treatment, and nutritional guidelines.  Let’s first see how these herbs can help:

  • Improve the quality of sleep.
  • Reduce symptoms of depression
  • Reduce pain
  • Reduce stiffness in the joints
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Reduce anxiety
  • Fight fatigue

Let’s look at which plants are the most useful.

1. Venustorn

This plant is also known as “devil’s claw”, and it can be found in health stores and pharmacies in the form of tablets or tea bags. The German Ministry of Health recommends this herb for people suffering from joint pain, rheumatism, and arthritis. It is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent and is also good for relieving pain. The main advantage, however, is that there are no negative side effects from using this plant, something we can rarely avoid with traditional medicine.

It also helps the body recover from trauma and helps relieve digestive and gastrointestinal problems. Venustorn is suitable for patients with fibromyalgia, especially if you eat it every morning.

2. St. John’s wort

This herb is also known as St. John’s wort or St. John’s wort. St. John’s wort is very effective in treating sadness, discouragement and mild depression associated with fibromyalgia, in a natural way. In addition to this, the tea brewed on this herb supplies the body with organic acids, essential oils, keratin, limonene, and tannic acid. It is truly a natural wonder remedy that is worth using every day, both morning and afternoon.

3. Cayenne pepper

This might come as a surprise. It is commonly believed that cayenne pepper causes inflammation, but this spice is actually quite healthy – it is on a par with garlic, ginger and mustard seeds. The good properties of cayenne pepper lie in its content of capsaicin, which promotes the release of analgesic elements. Most people are probably familiar with the topical creams that contain capsaicin to reduce pain. So do not despair – try drinking two glasses of tea a day prepared with cayenne pepper. The best way to take advantage of its wonderful properties is to add a green tea bag, a pinch of cayenne pepper and a few drops of lemon juice to a warm glass of water. Let it soak for a few minutes and then add a teaspoon of honey. Drink up and see how much better you feel.
