I am suffering from sciatica. It is particularly painful down my leg. What advice can you give me?

I am sorry to hear about this problem. Sciatica is quite difficult to treat so I'd suggest a cranial osteopath or craniosacral practitioner as expert manipulation can really help free the area up.

In the meantime, you may find it helpful to apply St John's Wort oil to the affected area. Our nutritionist uses it in her clinic for nerve pain of all kinds and gets a good result. Herbs aren't as strong as drugs, but they usually don't have side effects either!
