The best natural herb to give patients in pain?

[1Natureonly]

Hi,
I am an RN and new here. I wasn't a believer in alternative meds until my skin cancer was treated from a black salve. I also went to see a doctor who is a holistic physician and has helped me a lot.

Anyway, what is the safest thing to give patients in pain.

I don't smoke myself, but I think it's appropriate for those who need it.

If I am on the wrong board and don't belong here, please let me know :)

This sounds like a question for somebody with a degree in medicine. Be very wary of medical advice from people who aren't licensed doctors.

All I know about Cannabis medinical uses is that it's an effective anti-inflamatory, the most effective anti-nausient I've ever seen and used, and reduces pain sufficiently for many. keep in mind too, it doesn't necessarily have to be smoked, cannabis can be vapourized which completely negates the harmfull effects to the lungs caused by smoking.

Thats actually the most credible question that has been on these boards in a while.

Yesterday I had a Tooth Pulled.
It wasnt fun and I was advised not to smoke.
even though they gave me a script for Strong Pain Killers (wich I got).
The tooth Had to be surgicly removed wich needed stiches blah blah.
I got Home feeling completely scattered after sitting in the dentist chair for 3+ hrs.
the first thing I did was have a Bong.
It Helped me Instantly.
so I had another.
and I was In bliss.
No sore Mouth nothing.



theres alot of natural remedies for Pain depending on what kind of pain it is.
I learned clove oil is good (orally) on gums for tooth pain..;)..

But the Kind Herb is a deffenet positive for most the Pain paitents.
excluding Lung cancer and respitory complications of course..

How many answers can we give besides, "Yes, weed is the best for everything."? I can think of some, but they're not true. Well, I guess you wouldn't want to lube your bicycle with weed.

opium poppies tottally natural

Where do you get this?

[beachguy in thongs]

Somewhere in the Persian Gulf, I'd assume.

I can't really say what's the best natural remedy for pain since, like everyone else on this board, I'm not a doctor. I can say that from my experience, marijuna that is a predominately indica strain is better for pain than a sativa strain. Occaisionally I will get very painful spasms in my back and I've found that agood indica will really help.

I see your in California like me so I assume you are pretty familiar with the medical marijuana movement and its use in relieveing pain. You might want to check out www.wamm.org for some additional info. They are one of the original med. mj advocacy groups based out of Santa Cruz.

Regarding opium poppies, since I'm not a doctor I can't say with any authority, but common sense would tell me they probably aren't the safest thing for pain. I have no doubt it would be effective for traeting pain but you did ask for the safest thing. First of all you'd have to extract the opium itself which is a pain(no pun intended) so it wouldn't be practical. Secondly, what you'd end up with is raw opium, the main ingredient in heroin, morphine, etc. Although not as potent as these it is certainly addictive and does have potential for overdose, etc.

You may also want to look into some traditional Chinese medicine as well. I've had acupunture to treat my back spasms and it has worked quite well. I'm sure they also have some herbal treatments for pain. I don't know where in California you are but you'd have no problem finding a traditional Chinese dcotor here in the San Francisco area.

i think you may be on the wrong board

I don't think so.

IMO everyone is welcome here as long as they don't try and preach false truths.

I visited your website 1NatureOnly sounds good about that herb that can help with skin cancer. Have no idea why it is now illegal though.

THC was shown in lab tests with mice to attack cancerous tissue leaving other non infected tissue intact only attacking the cancerous tissue. It is illegal.

Now I hear that a herb that can help with skin cancer has now be made illegal for what reason I do not know.

I'm gonna google some info on this..

[hipEstoner]

The most intense pain recorded.

He explained that if scientists could understand how platypus venom affects cells, they would be able to unlock some of the mysteries about the generation of pain and how membrane proteins are affected by toxins.

There is also bee treatment.

Heroin is derived from morphine which is a constituent of raw opium latex but it would be inappropriate to call opium the main ingredient of heroin. It is more like wine to hard liquor, opium is to wine as morphine is to 151. For anybody in pain the opiates/opioids are your safest, most effective option as they have been for centuries. It would work out better to have them prescribed to you though since it would probably take at least several dozen poppy plants to yield enough opium for year-round personal pain treatment.
Marijuana can also be used with opioids for increased analgesia.
