Neuropathy is a progressive disease with no cure provided by the traditional medical system.<\/p>\nNeuropathy is a progressive disease with no cure provided by the traditional medical system.<\/p>\n
But a new study in the American Journal of Translational Research<\/em> reveals that two plants can drastically improve, if not heal, neuropathy.<\/p>\n Baicalin is a flavonoid derived from the plant Scutellaria baicalensis<\/em> Georgi. This plant grows mostly in China and has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries. It is also called the Chinese skullcap or Baikal skullcap.<\/p>\n Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is mostly found in organ meat, spinach, broccoli, yeast, and potatoes.<\/p>\n The authors were interested in both, but especially the former.<\/p>\n They recruited 96 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy who had sought hospital treatment for their condition and divided them into a control group and a research group.<\/p>\n The control group received alpha-lipoic acid alone, while the research group received a supplement with both alpha-lipoic acid and baicalin.<\/p>\n The researchers measured the patients\u2019 nerve-conduction velocity, their indicators of oxidative stress, and the inflammatory damage caused by the neuropathy. In addition, they also gave their subjects a subjective symptom questionnaire to allow them to report their own neuropathic symptoms.<\/p>\n By the end of the study, they could draw quite a few conclusions.<\/p>\n 2.\tThe subjective symptom scores had improved in both groups, but especially in the research group.<\/p>\n 3.\tThe oxidative stress and inflammatory damage had decreased in both groups, but again more so in the research group.<\/p>\n 4.\tThere were no serious or long-term side effects and there was no difference between the groups.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n This proves that alpha-lipoic acid and baicalin together is the best treatment for neuropathy, even though the alpha-lipoic acid alone also works.<\/p>\n Both of these chemicals are available in supplement form \u2014 yes, even on Amazon and from other large online retailers. They are sold in both powder and capsule form.<\/p>\n\n
