Will Herbs Relieve Symptoms of TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder is a trying condition that plagues numerous Americans. Sadly, the high demand for effective, tolerable TMJ relief has lured many businesses into marketing fad products that make outlandish claims.

Just Pop a Pill?

For-profit companies fall all over one another in an attempt to take advantage of people’s physical ailments. One business named Ridgecrest Herbals appears to be no different. By offering a vegetarian supplement that supposedly restores “normal jaw function,” the company claims to offer lasting relief from temporomandibular joint disorder. In reality, however, this product isn’t likely to do more than drain pocketbooks. Infused with ingredients, such as ammonium carbonicum, cocculus indicus, ignatia amara and cevadilla seed, this TMJ supplement is supposed to support healthy TMJ function. According to Ridgecrest Herbals, users need to take six pills every day for a month to see results: a costly investment, especially for an unproven product that doesn’t even have FDA approval.

Unregulated

Unfortunately the Food and Drug Administration has neither the will nor the resources to regulate herbal supplements. This has left consumers at risk for drug interactions and allergic reactions, since no one knows exactly how they will respond to certain herbs until it’s too late.
