hello and welcome

I noticed your post mentioned rooibos tea and am so pleased you posted that.
In South Africa (land of my birth ) red bush tea is considered a "cure all" by many! I had forgotten about it after 20 years of being here, but just called my local supermarket and they do stock it!

my husband is going thru a lot of spinal pain and sciatica at present. He uses Lidoderm patches but not meds as his system cannot handle strong pain meds at present. The Lidoderm really does seem to take the edge off the pain for him, as does putting warm cloths soaked in epsom salts solution.

but I am delighted to hear of rooibos helping your pain and will be heading out to get some soon!
