- Vitamins & minerals
Some peripheral neuropathy cases happen due to a lack of some vitamins and minerals. The most common deficiencies linked with peripheral neuropathy are copper, vitamin B12, vitamin B1, vitamin E, and vitamin B6 deficiencies.
This is because each plays a major role in preserving nerve health. And, research has found that lack of calcium and magnesium may contribute to peripheral neuropathy.
Before you take any vitamins and minerals, consult your doctor to see if there’s a need for testing to ensure whether you need a supplement.
- Herbs
Several herbs possess anti-inflammatory properties that may promote pain reduction in some peripheral neuropathy cases.
These are cayenne pepper, tarragon, turmeric, black cumin, holy basil, rosemary, sage, and cannabis.
If you want to give these herbs a go, consult your doctor to learn more.
This is to ensure these herbs are effective for you and don’t interact with other meds you may be taking or any health conditions you may have.
- Essential oils
