Nopal (prickly pear cactus) is a cactus filled with strong antioxidants, anti-inflammatory bioflavonoids, and necessary vitamins. It is an essential part of the Nerve Soothe blend as it has been shown to fight oxidative stress — which is a major cause of nerve damage. The fruit is rich in betalains and flavonoids, both of which neutralize free radicals that can damage nerve cells. Interestingly Prickly Pear has been shown to reduce both blood sugar and cholesterol, which is especially helpful for those dealing with diabetic neuropathy. Its potent anti-inflammatory agents cut pain by reducing inflammation around nerves, whereas terpenes methyl salicylate and menthol numb pain receptors. This strong double action of an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory produces a potent success when it comes to providing the perfect environment for nerves to perform and repair themselves.

Marshmallow Root isn’t a sweet snack, it’s an effective demulcent herb which means it’s rich in mucilage which cools and calms inflamed tissue. In the case of neuropathy, such soothing can begin to penetrate the inflamed nerves and the tissue around it. It forms a barrier that may reduce irritation which is beneficial for sensitive nerve endings. In addition, its high antioxidant content serves to protect cells from harm and its anti-inflammatory capabilities aid in preventing inflammation within the body overall. This one's job, which is more supporting than anything else, is to make for a soothing, protective atmosphere in the joint, so the rest of the good culprits can do their magic in lowering raidianzymes and pain.

Corydalis: A plant that has been in use in the Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years due to its phenomenal pain-killing abilities. Its main ingredient, tetrahydropalmatine (THP), is believed to act on the central nervous system by maintaining the body’s dopamine naturally occurring pathways, helping to control pain perception. It has been proposed to be especially effective in chronic pain states, such as neuropathic pain, with analgesia provided without development of tolerance, in the same way that is notorious with traditional pain medications. Corydalis is a natural painkiller that is a powerful relaxant, which helps to improve mood and block pain signals from traveling to the brain. This is a great relief to the suffering patients, enabling them to get around much better in their daily lives. Its addition provides a safe, mild alternative to harsh synthetic drugs.

California Poppy is a mild, non-addictive herbal sedative and analgesic. Unlike its opioid relative, it is nonaddictive and works by helping the patient relax and by calming an overactive nervous system. It’s great for the restlessness and insomnia that neuropathy patients often experience from night time pain. It compounds are known to relax, calm and eases the muscles and mind promoting more restful sleep necessary to encourage the body repair process. For nerve pain, its calming effect on the entire nervous system supplies a “tonic” regulation of the volume of pain signalling. The other ingredients are enhanced by this as it helps the body and mind to relax and heal and is an important part of the all around nerve health and pain control.

Passionflower Passionflower is a celebrated herbal medicine acknowledged for its remarkable calming effects. It does so largely by enhancing the activity of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a neurotransmitter in the brain that slows the nervous system, and decreases feelings of anxiety and stress that often accompany chronic pain. This soothing power is critical for neuropathy patients, as an overactive nervous system intensifies pain messages. Passionflower also contains a compound called chrysin other flavonoids, which have been shown to be anti-inflammatory and analgesic. By relaxing the whole nervous system, with mild sedative properties, it helps to calm the hyper firing of nerves that is lead to pain, but also may contribute to the overall enzyme-inhibiting process.
