The pain in the tissues due to tendinitis can be relieved through the use of the St. John's wort herb, which is also very effective in calming the nervous tension of the patient. This herb can be used in three forms, the oil made from the herb can be used as a physical or topical massage oil on the painful region of the body, the herb can be used in the form of a capsule or it can be used in the form of a tea, all these forms must be used just before bedtime for effective relief.

To bring about a reduction in the inflammation, to stimulate and strengthen circulation in the body and to neutralize the uric acid in the blood, a combination tea of the following herbs can be used, these include herbs like the horsetail, herbs like the devil's claw, the burdock herb, the centaury and the yucca herbs, these herbs additionally bring down nervous tension in the person. To prepare the tea from the herbs steep a tsp. of the herbal mixture made form the above mentioned herbs in a cup of boiling water, this liquid can be strained and consumed as a herbal pain relieving tea.

The inflammation in the body can also be reduced through topical herbal measures, dip a cotton cloth in some cold-pressed wheat germ oil and use this at night as a rub on the affected areas of the body, after rubbing it in, cover the areas with a dry linen cloth and leave it on overnight, repeat this daily.

The inflamed tissue can also be relived by rubbing on it a paste made of grounded seeds of the fenugreek and milk. The inflammation in the affected area is reduced and relieved through the anti-inflammatory actions of the fenugreek herb.

The effective pain-killing and anti-inflammatory properties of an extract of the turmeric herb, called curcumin can also be used as an herbal topical measure. The liver may also be benefited through this treatment as curcumin has very efficient free-radical eliminating properties, and its use is suggested.
