Fibromyalgia natural, alternative treatments

Recently, natural plant-based fibromyalgia treatments have demonstrated great potential in decreasing the severity of FMS symptoms because of their interaction with the central nervous system.

Can plant-based treatments help symptoms of the fibromyalgia?
Plant-based alternative treatments have demonstrated ability in relieving pain, spasticity, anxiety and irritable bowl syndrome - all of which are symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Certain plant compounds are able to influence these responses because its they are able to mimic, or boost, the natural chemical messengers our body produces to initiate these responses upon entry to the body.
Because fibromyalgia can have such an extensive range of symptoms, it usually has a large impact on a person’s quality of life, as well as their health. Research shows those with treatment-resistant fibromyalgia often experience a decrease in their symptom severity with natural treatments, and also, report an improvement in their overall quality of life.
Many people are unaware that natural, alternative fibromyalgia treatments can be legally prescribed by specialist doctors in the UK, and are accessible to those that need them. At Releaf, our doctors can prescribe fibromyalgia plant-based treatments to those who have been unable to find successful relief with conventionally prescribed options, and so, we may be able to help you.
