Over the past year we have spent many weekends at the farmers markets here in Portland, Silverton and West Linn. The one thing I am often asked is does your cream work for nerve pain or neuropathy? I can honestly say it does not. But knowing that so many people have this type of pain I decided to dive in and see what I could learn about herbs that might work to ease this type of pain and create a new formula.
After much research and testing on friends who have nerve pain we are happy to introduce NERVAN OIL!

So let’s learn more about the herbs and essential oils and why they have an effect on nerve pain. We infuse our Black Seed and Hemp Oil with dry herbs of Arnica, St Johns Wort and Calendula.
Arnica montana, a member of the Asteraceae (or sunflower) fArnica works by stimulating circulation and increasing oxygenation to muscles and nerves.
St John’s Wort has been used since ancient times for a range of health problems. It is considered affective for nerve pain. St John’s Wort has been used since ancient times for a range of health problems. It is very affective in treating nerve pain. , St John’s Wort is helpful for wound healing (ulcers, bruises, shingles) and for nerve pain (sciatica).
Calendula is a member of the Asteraceae/Compositae family of plants, from the Asterales order. The medicinal part of the Calendula Officinalis plant is a beautiful, deeply rich colored orange and yellow flower. Calendula has also been used as a pain and inflammation reducer, as well as a way to relieve treatment-related side effects for people with cancer. Now let’s get into the Essential oils which I find so effective in any kind of pain oil or cream. First up is Capsicum Essential Oil which can warm stiff joints, relax lower back pain and work to heal nerve damage.
Then we have Holy Basil Practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine have long used it to treat a range of conditions, including nerve pain.
Throughout history, Helichrysum has been used to reduce inflammation within and on the body as well as a remedy for muscular spasms. Similar to most essential oils that show success in treating nerve pain and neuropathy, helichrysum has both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, and is famous for being a potent & fast- acting pain reliever. The main compound in this oil is called Nerol, which has neuro-protective effects and reduces the loss of dopamine-producing neurons. Along with offering pain relief, this oil can help regenerate nerves by boosting the strength of the nervous system and studies show it likely has antispasmodic effects as well.
Organic Black seed oil is known in the Middle East as the oil that cures everything but death. Black seed oil comes from the black cumin seed . Organic black seed oil has been tested on inflamed skin and shown to have a positive effect in reducing the inflammation caused by eczema and psoriasis. Hemp seed oil decreases inflammation and irritation and provides relief for discomfort related to certain skin conditions. It is often recommended by dermatologists as an alternative solution for acne, psoriasis, eczema, and atopic dermatitis as it promotes the growth of new healthy skin cells.
