What is Sigesbeckia and its history?
Known as Sigesbeckia orientalis but more commonly known as Sigesbeckia or St. Pauls Wort. Sigesbeckia has been used for over a thousand years and is a modern traditional Chinese medicine used to treat various forms of arthritis, sciatica, backache and rheumatic pain. Its first use was dated back as far as 659 AD.
Did you know that Sigesbeckia was named after botanist Johann Georg Siegesbeck after he tried to discredit Carl Linnaeus the, ‘father of modern taxonomy,’ over the way he chose to name plants?
In 2015 Phynova Joint and Muscle relief tablets was the first and only herbal product in the UK, containing the extract of Sigesbeckia orientalis, to have gained approval under the Traditional Herbal Medicines Registration Scheme. This meant it was then able to be sold over-the-counter for ailments such as backache, minor sports injuries, rheumatic or muscular pains and general aches and pains in the muscles and joints, exclusively based upon long-standing use as a traditional remedy.
Backache
Back pain can occur through a sprain or strain, spasms, nerve compression, herniated discs and other problems in your lower, middle and upper back.
Poor posture, lifting and stretching, sudden movements placing strain on your lower back and sports injuries, are amongst the main culprits for causing back pain.
Minor sports injuries
Minor sports injuries can be caused by an accident such as a fall or blow, not warming up properly before exercise, pushing yourself too hard and not using the appropriate equipment or perhaps poor technique.
Rheumatic and muscular pain
Common causes of rheumatic and muscle pain can be due to; tension and stress, lack of minerals, certain medication, dehydration, sprains and strains, sleep deficiency, too much physical activity and sometimes other underlying health conditions and diseases.
General aches and pains in muscles and joints
Overexertion due to a new exercise routine or from a sprain or strain can cause general aches and pains in muscles and joints. But so too can modern day busy life. The impact on our bodies can trigger aches and pains in your muscles and joints and lower your resistance to illness and disease.
