Top 6 neuropathy remedies (peripheral neuropathy home remedies)

Let’s talk about the best natural remedies to treat neuropathic pain, including peripheral neuropathy. Once you have experienced the torment of neuropathy, you’ll never forget it. The weakness, pain, and numbness caused by this condition are truly like no other.

So, what exactly is neuropathy?

It occurs when one or more of your nerves are diseased or malfunctioning. The most prevalent type, peripheral neuropathy, affects your hands, feet, arms, and legs.

Normally, your peripheral nerves transmit messages from your brain and spinal cord to different parts of your body. However, when neuropathy damages these nerves, the messages get intercepted. This alters the way your body responds to pain, temperature changes, and various other factors. If you suffer from chronic neuropathic pain, these symptoms can flare up unexpectedly, without any clear cause.

One of the leading causes of neuropathy is disease, particularly diabetes, which accounts for 30% of cases. Other causes include cancer treatment, infections, amputations, injuries, and long-term, excessive alcohol consumption.

Surprisingly, neuropathy is more common than you think. Approximately one in three people in the United States deal with chronic pain, with 20% of them experiencing neuropathic pain. A 2014 study estimated that up to 10% of all Americans have some form of neuropathic pain. 

It’s certainly a challenging condition to live with, but thankfully, there are natural ways to treat and reverse it…

Before we dive into natural treatment options, let’s explore the symptoms of neuropathy.

While each person’s experience may vary, some common symptoms include:

Tingling, numbness, and “pins and needles”.

Burning, stabbing, or shooting pain.

Sudden pain without an obvious trigger.

Sensitivity to typically non-painful situations (such as cold weather or brushing hair).

Difficult-to-describe and unpleasant sensations.

Sleep disturbances.

And emotional toll from living with chronic pain, sleep deprivation, and difficulty articulating symptoms.
