Abstract
Background: This study presents several anecdotal case reports of chronic pain patients cured with two different plant medicines from the Chumash Indian tradition. Methods: Patients suffering from fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, chronic bursitis, chronic tendinitis and other conditions were treated. California sagebrush (Artemisia californica) was grown by the author and made into a liniment. The liniment was applied to painful sites on the skin. Black sage (Salvia mellifera) was made into a sun tea. Chronic pain patients soaked their feet in the preparation. Results: The liniment provided relief from even severe pain within a minute or so. After daily use for 1 – 7 days, chronic pain was cured in several patients. The sun tea provided pain relief throughout the body within 20 minutes. After 1 – 7 days of once daily use, several chronic pain patients were cured. Conclusions: Both A. californica liniment and S. mellifera sun tea provide pain medicines that can cure chronic pain.
