Teasel root

Hi all,
I haven't posted for a while. I have been very weak and low on energy after I fasted.You remember that I posted about Ramadan and that I shouldn't do it this year, well I ended up doing it. Afterwards I was very weak, my knees were not carrying me at all. Afterwards I took a month where I work only part time and it is helping , I am getting stronger and stronger.

I have some questions today :
Do you know about teasel root and do you know if it is good for FM and also which store can I find it?
I went for a massage and the lady told me that she used to use it for her FM and it helped her. I asked her where she got it but she said a friend gave it to her a long time ago.

Also I bought some magnesium malate but the pills are really too big for me to swallow. Anybody who knows of any brand that is not so big would be really helpfull?

Thank you!

Thank you acheybody!
Yes hopefully. I hope you are doing well.

Their is teasel root at Amazon and on eBay. Their are actual tea bags on eBay as well.

I'm sorry, I don't know much about it though. Good luck and let us know if you try it and how it works for you.

I am a student of natural medicine and know nothing about teasel root. Perhaps it's ginger by a different name? Ginger and turmeric have anti-inflammatory properties and have been known to be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia. I suggest you start with them first, as actual double blind studies have been done to support their effacy for our disease.

You can either purchase capsules online or use the actual spices in food. I myself prefer to eat it. It seems to work for several days before the pain comes racing back. ( but I eat a LOT)

Be well.

Louise,

Good to know. It's rare that I am puzzled by a herb or root. hmm. anti lyme. I need to remember to be checked for this. Vaguely remember being bitten by a tick as kid.
