Educate Yourself and Take Control of Your Health
It is common for people to experience different nerve damage symptoms after dental work. This is especially true of dental surgery and implants.
During the procedure, the nerve can be damaged. Yes, it most probably will get better in a few months if it isn’t extensive damage.
But are you willing to put up with numbness, and pain, tingling, etc. for 6 months? Why not give your body a head start in restoring your nerve health.
I have known B1 (thiamine) to be such an important vitamin. It is so involved with your health.
But then I found an educational video by Dr. Eric Berg, D.C. about what a deficiency of B1 will do. It is very informative.
I think with so many people depleting B1 by using caffeine, sugar, medical drugs, processed foods etc. etc. that this is important to know. I can affect the conditions such as lack of tears, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, and even memory problems. But, etc. etc. etc.

There are a lot of remedies on the market that includes herbs. Of course, the first thing you should check is the quality of any supplement whether herb or vitamin. Cheaper brands are not necessarily going to give you quality ingredients that will give you results. Here is an article on this Buying Less Expensive Supplements – Is it Worth It?
But on the subject of herbs especially regarding neuropathy, one needs to know the following.
Herbs cannot be taken in some cases with certain medications. You need to check with your pharmacist to see if the herbs and your medications are compatible. Pharmacists have a database that they can check.
As an example: There are no clinical trials showing that any herb can help repair the nerve damage that is neuropathy. Nor can it build healthy nerves. They do have some value in increasing blood flow, or calming the body, but not in the actual repair of the nerve which is what causes the neuropathy symptoms.
There are many products being advertised as helping neuropathy with 4 or 5 different herbs extracts in them. It is questionable whether they have been tested together, and since there are no trials regarding neuropathy, questionable as to whether they will help or not.
A number of herbs taken together often causes stomach problems, such as heart burn. They can create more problems.
Check out all the herbs in a formula. Remember, this is not like a herb tea, made by boiling the herb leaves, or sprinkled in your salad. These are herb extracts in much more potent amounts then found in nature.
