Numbweed-previous question Northern Wisconsin American Indians Know?
Question:
Does that explain it any better?
Answers:
sounds like maybe 'snake root'
We use it out here for teeth and open wounds.
There are many wild herb anodynes: buttercup, cats foot, clove, comfrey, cowslip, henbane, hops, lettuce, mint, monks hood, mullien, pansy, pokeweed, sassafrass, willow, woodruff
A search for numbweed yielded a lot of "dragon healing" sites, specifically Anne McCaffrey's "Pern", "Dragon Riders" series.
good luck
There is an herb called Hercules Club. It is a tree actually. The leaves when chewed have a numbing effect. That might be what you are looking for. Kava Kava also has numbing properties. There is an Edgar Cayce remedy that has worked for me plenty of times. It is called a Castor Oil pack. You can also use it for your hands. All you need is Castor Oil, wool flannel, plastic wrap and a heating pad. Soak the flannel wrap the affected area wrap with saran wrap and apply the heating pad. Let it heat for at least an hour or longer and sleep with the wrap on.( not the heating pad) Do this for 3 day s at a time.
Works for me.
