Avoiding Foods in a Diet to Prevent TN

Does diet help in reducing TN pain? Food is medicine, and there’s no disputing that. You are what you eat. Your food choices will have a significant impact on your health. There are no clinically validated dietary guidelines for Trigeminal Neuralgia. However, avoiding natural stimulants is the best way to treat a hypersensitive nervous system. When dealing with trigeminal nerve pain, it is important to include foods that promote the regeneration and proper function of your nervous system.

What you should know about TN

The eroded sheath surrounding the trigeminal nervous system is one of many causes for this painful condition.

Patients usually suffer from TN that is either typical or atypical depending on their pain.

Typical The majority of patients experience random, but very troubling, episodes of pain in the same area, triggered by simple activities like chewing, brushing, etc. or touching a trigger on the face.
Atypical Patients complain of a dull ache or an inflamed feeling in any part of their face. They may also suffer from sharp shooting pains, which can make the situation worse. The pain is not usually triggered by a particular area, and it only gets worse over time.

Food can be a key factor in determining the outcome of a condition like eroded nerve sheaths.

You should be aware that food alone will not help restore the nerve’s functionality. Instead, you must supplement your diet with natural remedies that can have a positive impact on your condition. This can be helped by many natural herbs, as well as advanced homeopathy such as sarcodes.

In an independent study, “a group of doctors reported that Trigeminal Neuralgia sufferers achieved an overall reduction in pain intensity and attack frequency of more than 60% using Natural Remedies.” ¹

A review of MVD and Gamma Knife procedures found that only 44% (of the TN patients) who chose the expensive and complicated Gamma Knife procedure lived a pain-free life!

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a painful condition that can be easily diagnosed. However, other conditions may mimic the symptoms of TN.

Other conditions that can cause facial pain include:

Dental infections or oral surgery
Migraine or Cluster headaches
Post-herpetic neuralgia
Joint pain in the lower jaw
Temporal arteritis
Trauma to the nerves in the face or facial injury
Sinus Cavity Complications

Trigeminal Neuralgia occurs rarely in people younger than 40. It is important to rule out any other condition, as the treatment for different types of pain can differ.

Aconite Clinical observation has shown that aconite is analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and sedative. It may be useful in treating neuropathic pains. ⁴
Bacopa Monnieri: The herb has strong anti-inflammatory properties and is rejuvenating. Clinical trials have shown positive results for chronic pain management. ⁵
Valerian Officinalis: In an in vivo study, a combination of hypericum valerian and kava significantly reduced orofacial discomfort, with results superior to carbamazepine at the neural conductor level and inflammation levels. ⁶

What to Eat for TN

Healthy foods include:

Immunity Booster
Fight Inflammation
Rejuvenate Nerves
Stop the formation of radical groups

The best foods for this condition would be those that are rich in natural antioxidants and also have immune-boosting properties. Monounsaturated fats, magnesium, vitamins C, B, and E, as well as monounsaturated oils, are the best foods to choose from since they boost your immunity and rejuvenate damaged and worn-out nerves.

Some of the best foods to eat include:

Brown rice and cooked vegetables like artichokes and asparagus, as well as chards, lettuce, collards, and spinach.
Intake of excess saturated fats prevents the body from repairing nerve damage in the face.
These foods are high in vitamins and minerals that boost the immune system and nourish nerves.

Here are some more helpful tips…

You can eat a majority of raw foods or 75% raw and 25% vegan.
If you can’t find alkaline drinking water, then drink spring water.
Vegetable juice should be consumed daily, or as much as possible. The nerves will be repaired by eating real and living food (fruits and vegetables, raw foods).

Foods to avoid in a diet for TN

You should avoid foods that can cause a sensation of heat, such as salsa, chili, and hot sauce, or cold, like mint, sweetness, and sourness, because they may stimulate the trigeminal nervous system and trigger pain.
Spices such as black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg have caused pain in some people. People with a sensitive sense of smell can experience pain after eating food that has strong odors.
Some individuals have reported painful reactions to stimulants in coffee, tea, chocolate, and soft drinks, such as aspartame.
Red meat, whole milk, cheese, cream, butter, chocolate, candies, snacks, nuts, pies, cakes, and cookies are all foods you should consume as little as possible.
High-acidic foods (Citrus juices, tomatoes, gooseberries, etc.) This can lead to excessive mucus production. The excess mucus could exert pressure on sensitive nerves and trigger pain.
Avoid foods that are high in saturated fats, such as butter, ghee, and coconut oil.

Home Remedies

Both heat packs and cold packs relax muscles. Some people find instant relief by placing ice packs on their cheeks or jaws, while others prefer hot packs.
Herbal teas are also believed to calm frayed nerves. Teas like chamomile, St. John’s Wort, lemon balm, and comfrey can provide relief for painful episodes.
Avocado juice is rich in Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, and folic acid. Avocado is rich in Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, and folic acids. Carrots are a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B5, and Vitamin B6 as well as Vitamin B5.
Ayurvedic medicine recommends ashwagandha oil (Withania somnifera), due to its anti-inflammatory properties, for the relief of nerve pain. The antioxidant properties of ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) oil boost the immune system, and the sedative properties may calm the nervous system.
It is believed that rosemary oil has analgesic properties which help relieve pain. Its potential nervine qualities help strengthen cranial nerves including the terminal nerve, and its antioxidant properties boost your immune system.
Apple cider vinegar can also be used to massage the area.
