Health DescriptionHealth Consultation Description: I have had
Trigeminal Neuralgia for years. Taking anticonvulsant meds has helped my pain but I am curious if the lightning bolt pain can radiate down to the tip of my thumb.
Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
No...the trigeminal nerve does not go down you arm or to your hand. The nerve that services this area comes from your neck (cervical spine).
Instructions:
Reflexotherapy in Neuralgia:
Along acupuncture or electroacupuncture, reflexotherapy is another amazing alternative in treating trigeminal neuralgia. After 4-5 sessions you’ll the headaches will vanish into thin air. However, reflexotherapy needs to be part of your lifestyle, so we advise you that you attend classes of reflexotherapy to learn to do it at home, without extra help. Along the reflexotherapy massage sessions, have 2-3 cups of horsetail and elderflower infusion on a daily basis.
Burdock Leaves, a Natural Remedy for Trigeminal Neuralgia:
Using burdock leaves every night will take the pain away in 4-5 days at most. Place the burdock leaves along the spinal bones, especially on the back of your neck. The burdock flowers need to be put into sanitary alcohol for 15 minutes and then squeezed well before usage. Place a piece of white gauze on the back of your neck and on the spine, place a layer of burdock leaves on top and then fix the leaves with another layer of gauze. Get your pajamas on and go to bed. Next morning you’re ready to take the burdock leaves off and at the same time you’ll feel that the pain begins to wear off little by little.
