Erythromelalgia by Ray Sahelian, M.D.

Erythromelalgia is a rare medical condition in which blood vessels, usually in the lower extremities, are at times blocked and inflamed.

Q. I am wondering if you have any recommendations as to what natural supplements might be helpful with erythromelalgia. As far as I know there is very little research being done . Even though it is a very painful and often disabling condition, it is very rare and therefore does not generate a great interest among researchers. As far as I found out from the Erythromelalgia Association there is some research going on in the Netherlands and also at Yale and Mayo. I do believe China does research as well but all are short of funds.
   A. I have not studied this topic to any degree but will keep my eyes open for any research regarding natural treatment with herbs, vitamins, and supplements.
