Multiple sclerosis natural treatments
Multiple sclerosis causes the immune system to attack the protective layer that surrounds nerve cells, damaging their ability to receive messages efficiently, and sometimes the nerves beneath them. This can cause stiffness, spasms and chronic pain, but recently, evidence shows natural, alternative multiple sclerosis treatments may offer benefits in these areas.

Treatment options:
Unfortunately, there is still no cure for multiple sclerosis, but the symptoms can be eased using a number of different treatments, and different options are suited best for different people. Typically, the individual symptoms are treated with pharmaceuticals, disease modifying therapies, and short courses of steroids can be prescribed to speed up recovery, and so often patients are prescribed various types of medication to take at once.
Steroid tablets or injections
Gabapentin
Diazepam
Carbamazepine
Benzodiazepines
Antidepressants
Physiotherapy

Can I get plant-based treatments for multiple sclerosis pain?
Multiple sclerosis is a lifelong condition that affects the brain and spinal cord and in serious cases, MS can cause disability and reduce life expectancy. Currently, there is no cure for MS, but there are a number of treatment options available to manage the symptoms it causes - including plant-based options.
Typically, patients are prescribed licensed anti-spasticity or analgesic pharmaceuticals, or injected with steroids to help alleviate their restricted movement and pain, but these options are not suitable for everyone. Recently, increasing numbers of patients are finding beneficial results when using natural, plant-based MS treatments like those offered by Releaf.
The same natural chemicals are formulated into licensed medications like Sativex, and can be prescribed by the NHS, but whole plant extracts containing the same ingredients, plus a whole host of other beneficial compounds, are also legally available at Releaf. Our specialist doctors can recommend these natural alternatives to combat pain and spasticity, but also to improve sleep quality, anxiety, and depression.
