Jamaican Dogwood

Jamaican Dogwood is one of the strongest herbs for nerve and back pain, musculoskeletal pain, headaches, migraines, sleep, and insomnia. This is one herb to take with caution. It is safe for humans as long as it is taken as directed. The sedative effects can be strong even in small doses. Jamaican Dogwood is anti-infl ammatory, and antispasmodic. It has a very bitter taste leaving the mouth hot and it has an unpleasant odor. However, boiling the root to make a wash, combining in other formulas for pain, and taking it in tincture form can be quite beneficial for those painful complaints and sleepless nights.
