Neuropathy refers to actual damage to the peripheral nerves. Damage to these peripheral nerves (other than spinal or those in the brain), generally starts as tingling in hands and feet and slowly spreads along limbs to the trunk. Numbness, sensitive skin, neuralgic pain, weakening of muscle power can all develop in varying degrees. Most common causes include complications from diabetes, alcoholism, vitamin B12 deficiency, tumors, too many pain killers, exposure and absorption of chemicals, metallics, pesticides, and many other causes.

B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and organic sulfur are important in repairing nerve damage and quenching pain from inflamed nerves. Pregnenolone aids in repairing damage to the myelin sheath. Juniper also may help in supporting nerve repair. If paralysis is the problem, a regeneration of up to 60% may be possible. If, however, the nerve damage is too severe, treatment may not help. If the damage starts to reverse, there will be pain. Apply a few drops of Pain Relief Blend (recipe below) neat on location.
