Above all, a proper diagnosis must be confirmed with a neurologist.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful neurological condition, and there is a remedy that can help the sufferer: hijama. Propolis is also effective, as are three essential oils: Roman chamomile essential oil, helichrysum essential oil, and wintergreen essential oil. The essential oils should be mixed with a vegetable oil and applied to the painful area.
Finally, it is advisable to take tryptophan combined with magnesium and vitamin B6.
What the science says: nerves and the nervous system, essential oils
Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context—these studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.
Nerves and the nervous system
Adapted physical exercise improves mobility and reduces falls in Parkinson's disease according to a Cochrane review (Cochrane, 2023) (Neurorehabil Neural Repair, 2020); vitamin D is being studied in multiple sclerosis (J Nutr, 2024) and the ketogenic diet in certain forms of drug-resistant epilepsy (Dev Med Child Neurol, 2020). Omega-3s, B vitamins, magnesium, and sleep support the nervous system. Precaution: these conditions are followed in neurology; natural remedies accompany treatment, never replacing it.
Essential oils
Tea tree essential oil has documented efficacy for acne (Antioxidants, 2023), peppermint oil for irritable bowel syndrome (Aliment Pharmacol Ther, 2022), and lavender and others for anxiety (Pharmacol Res, 2022)—but these are powerful concentrates. Precaution: always dilute before applying to the skin, never use in the eyes or undiluted by mouth without medical advice; several of these oils are prohibited for pregnant women (unless advised otherwise), children under 3 (under 6 for peppermint), asthmatics, and those with epilepsy.
