8. Mint

Helps with: IBS and headaches

Mint is used mainly as a breath freshener. However, there is another good reason why you should include this herb in your diet. The menthol from peppermint has been found to help prevent muscle spasm, which is why peppermint oil is being used for treating IBS.

In addition, peppermint oil may also be useful in treating headaches. Simply rub a small amount of oil in your wrists or temples and breathe in the soothing scent of mint.

Recommended dosage: 1 cup of tea daily

    I have had fibro for over 50 yrs due to trauma of death of my husband. He had aneurysm in head. He was 23 and I was 21. We had a 17 mo old and a 3 mo old. He lived 7 weeks with it.. the doctors were astounded.
    Does fibro continue to worsen?.in n/h now and can hardly walk. Pain is severe sometimes.
    I am on (used to be ultram). I get 1 every 8 hours and it helps a lot.
