Nerve Calm Ingredients

Corydalis Yanhusuo

Benefit: Natural pain relief and nerve signal regulation

How it works: Corydalis Yanhusuo contains a compound called DHCB (Dihydroberberine), which is known to help block pain signals in the brain. It reduces nerve sensitivity, making it effective for symptoms like burning, tingling, and numbness.

Scientific Insight:

A study published in Current Biology found that DHCB effectively reduced both inflammatory and neuropathic pain in animal models—without causing addiction or tolerance like opioids. It targets dopamine receptors linked to pain perception.

Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis)

Benefit: Soothes and protects irritated nerves

How it works: Marshmallow root creates a natural coating around nerve endings, protecting them from inflammation and irritation. It also helps regenerate damaged nerve tissue and balances immune response.

Scientific Insight:

Research in Frontiers in Pharmacology highlights marshmallow root’s mucilage content, which forms a protective layer over sensitive tissues. It’s also noted for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity that supports tissue repair.

California Poppy Seed

Benefit: Relieves nerve pain and supports better sleep

How it works: This gentle sedative calms the nervous system, helping to reduce overactive nerve signals and physical discomfort. It also promotes restful sleep—which is critical for nerve recovery and overall well-being.

Scientific Insight:

A study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology confirmed California poppy’s mild analgesic and anxiolytic effects. It’s often used in herbal blends for insomnia, stress, and nerve-related pain.

Opuntia phaeacantha (Prickly Pear Cactus)

Benefit: Antioxidant protection and reduced inflammation

How it works: This cactus is loaded with antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and free radical damage—key contributors to nerve degeneration. It also helps cleanse the body of harmful substances that can impair nerve function.

Scientific Insight:

According to a review in Molecules, Opuntia species have strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Their flavonoids help preserve nerve health and improve metabolic function, particularly in diabetic neuropathy.

Passionflower Extract

Benefit: Calms nerves and improves mood

How it works: Passionflower helps quiet the nervous system by increasing levels of GABA—a neurotransmitter that lowers nerve excitability. This can ease nerve pain, improve sleep quality, and reduce anxiety.

Scientific Insight:

Clinical trials published in Phytotherapy Research show that passionflower extract effectively reduces anxiety and promotes sedation with no major side effects. It’s often used to enhance relaxation and reduce tension-related pain.

Lobelia Inflata

Benefit: Relaxes muscles and eases nerve pain

How it works: Lobelia contains alkaloids that help relax tight muscles and increase blood flow to inflamed or damaged nerve areas. It also acts as a mild anti-inflammatory, speeding up recovery.

Scientific Insight:

Lobelia has been used in traditional medicine for muscle spasms and respiratory issues. While research is still emerging, some herbal medicine texts support its use in enhancing circulation and calming nerve-related discomfort.

Prickly Ash Bark

Benefit: Improves blood flow and nourishes nerves

How it works: Prickly Ash Bark stimulates circulation, helping oxygen and nutrients reach nerve cells more efficiently. This supports natural nerve repair and may help prevent further damage.

Scientific Insight:

Known as the “toothache tree” in traditional herbalism, Prickly Ash has a history of use for nerve pain. Research supports its circulatory-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties, which make it useful in treating nerve and joint conditions.

Why This Blend Works

Unlike standard painkillers that mask symptoms, Nerve Calm’s ingredients work together to:

• Target inflammation at the root of nerve damage
• Protect nerves from oxidative stress and toxins
• Support nerve regeneration and healthy blood flow
• Soothe pain signals naturally, without side effects

Each ingredient is included at effective dosages to deliver real, lasting relief—backed by both traditional use and modern research.
