Mushkeewatig Nerve Tea

About

Common Name: Tamarack Bark
Latin Name: Larix laricina
Anishinabek Name: Tamarack Bark

Mushkeewatig Nerve Tea aka Tamarack Bark Tea, is a traditional tea of ethically harvested Tamarack bark. Tamarack is a  well known medicine for reliving nerve damage among the Anishinabek of the Great Lakes region. We harvest the bark at a certain time, under a certain condition using Anishinabek traditional knowledge to maximize the effectiveness of the medicine in the bark.

Our Mushkeewatig Nerve Tea (Tamarak Nerve Tea)  is a combination of different parts of the Tamarack tree. This nerve relief medicine was known by our Anishinabek  ancestors who were skilled at making legendary medicines that really helped people with their pains. 

The Chippewa (or Ojibway/Ojibwe) word for tamarack is ‘Mushkeewatig’ meaning ‘swamp tree’.

Mushkeewatig Nerve Tea uses 100% all natural wild harvested or organic ingredients.

Arabinogalactan which is found in Tamarack bark and is sometimes called AG, serves as a stabilizer, binder, sweetener and a source of fiber in foods.

According to WebMD, it is used to treat “the common cold, flu, H1N1 (swine) flu, ear infections in children, and HIV/AIDS.” It’s even used to treat liver cancer and is used “to provide dietary fiber, lower cholesterol, and to boost the immune system.” [1] 

Arabinogalactan is also used in veterinary medicine and  cosmetics.

Immune system modulator. Beneficial in treating autoimmune diseases. Increases properdin by 21% in some studies.

Allergies

Arabinogalactans reduce the inflammatory response of dust in the upper respiratory tract. Also found incredibly useful in treating upper respiratory infections.

Special Considerations

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: There is not enough reliable information about the safety of taking larch arabinogalactan if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.

“Auto-immune diseases” such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus,SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or other conditions: Larch arabinogalactan might cause the immune system to become more active, and this could increase the symptoms of auto-immune diseases. If you have one of these conditions, it's best to avoid using larch arabinogalactan.

Organ transplant recipients: Larch arabinogalactan might increase the risk of organ transplant rejection. If you have received an organ transplant, don't use larch arabinogalactan until more is known.

Otherwise Mushkeewatig Nerve Tea is safe to drink and has a refreshing taste

Doctrine of Signatures

The ancient method of interpreting the medicinal use of plants. All neurons have a spiral shape with a distinct wave look to them. They are designed to cover as much surface area as possible. When you look at a tamarack tree and see how the trunk is a spiral pattern and the branches have a perfect wave shape to them. These are similar to neurons which is one of the main uses of this amazing tree.

The Best Herbal Tea for Nerve Pain

All wild-harvested teas at Herbal Lodge are backed by our commitment to sustainability, integrity, and over 1,000 years of Native American wisdom. We are determined to help our communities find healthier solutions to their modern problems, and bark tea is one of our best natural remedies!

Among the most complex subjects in the realm of pain, neuropathy and related nervous system disorders can arise from a multitude of internal and external factors. Unlike nociceptive pain that results from tissue damage or inflammation, neuropathic pain can be harder to pinpoint and treat.

Unfortunately, many individuals suffering from neuropathy and other nervous-system-related pain conditions are poorly supported by modern medicine. While there will always be a place for interventions such as physical therapy and certain pharmaceuticals, many nervous system pains can greatly benefit from a more natural approach to sustainable nerve pain relief. Especially when facing nerve pain issues that may be untreatable or require a lifetime of medication, natural products that provide noticeable relief can be a great way to reduce medication dependence and other costly pain management strategies.

From skeletal and joint issues that impede nerve function to conditions like diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and infections that can damage nerve cells, the causes of nerve pain are rarely solved by a single pain management plan. Since nerve pain can arise from such varied causes, it is essential to consider nerve pain remedies that promote holistic wellness.
