What can I give my dog who’s nerve sheaths have eroded because of Laryngeal Paralysis? I was giving her Hypericum for about 3 months but she’s been off for a few months due to other issues. Those other issues are under control so I wanted to refocus on helping her heal the nerve sheath.
Thank you for your guidance!

Dear Dr. Sharma,
A friend of mind forwarded me this info to help me with my left sided shoulder / arm pain 2o to pinched nerve between C7/T1. I’ve been using Saunders Cervical Neck Traction which does help (along with icing my neck). Anyway, your article states that “Paris Quadrifolia and Hypericum: For Nerve Pain in Shoulder and Arms” especially left-sided helps. I was wondering if I should order the 30C potency for each and take AM and PM for 7-14 days?
