Sciatica is a painful condition where the Sciatic nerve becomes inflamed or damaged.  This long nerve runs from the top of the hip down the entire leg.  The condition can range from feeling a tight muscular tension type discomfort to fiery burning pain traveling the length of the leg.  Once the nerve has become inflamed there is no relief until the nerve is calmed.

Clearing Sciatica Pain

This past week I had the opportunity to assist a woman dealing with Sciatica in both legs.  She had only been experiencing the discomfort for about a week when she began doing the herbal supports.  To make a long story short she was able to clear the worst of the issue overnight.

Here is what we did.  Since the Sciatic nerve runs right behind the bowel an important part of clearing this issue is cleaning out the bowels. When the bowel becomes congested with putrefying waste the nerve can become irritated and inflamed.  Our member had been using the LBF #1’s on a regular basis but while doing an intense program had failed to increase the dose when her bowels had tightened up.  The result was she had become backed up with extremely toxic waste.

When dealing with a painful condition such as Sciatica you do not want to have to wait several days for the bowels to clear you want relief right now.  We cleared the bowel with a high enema with catnip herb.  If it is possible to have a colonic done this is also a great idea.

Thirty Minutes to Relief

Dr. Christopher recommends soaking the feet in hot apple cider vinegar.  He says for even faster action rest the right foot on top of chopped garlic while the left is soaking is hot apple cider vinegar.

We decided to do the apple cider vinegar soak.  Just setting in the chair was painful for her at the start of the foot soaking.  I added 3 cups apple cider vinegar to maybe a half gallon of hot water.

She soaked both feet for the first ten minutes while the chopped garlic was prepared.  Even before placing her foot on the garlic she said she was a bit more comfortable setting in the chair.

Hot water was added several times along with another cup of the vinegar.  By the end of the treatment she had drunk two tablespoons of the vinegar in a large glass of water and we had used the rest of the 32 ounce bottle in the foot soak.

Entire soaking time was about a half hour.  She had her foot resting on the garlic for about 15 minutes.

At the end of the treatment she said the pain and tightness was nearly gone.  The next morning she shared that she had slept through the night without pain.   She did do another soak the next day as some of the tightness tried to return.
