Thanks for the answer. I wanted to be sure the drink would be safe and as effective as it is when first made. I do not have classic sciatica, my sciatic nerve is damaged from repeated inflammation according to my doctor. There are other damaged nerves as well. Today I could not get my left leg to move at all except with very concentrated effort. This was a bad day. Some days I can move a few steps with support. Grzbear E-mailed me a suggestion for an anti-inflammatory tea,I hope this and the Jarvis drink will bring some much needed relief. Jeff-thank you for your advice about warmth. I sure wish I hadn't given away my wood stove, but then, there is no way I could build a fire.
Thanks to everyone for their advice dealing with sciatica, I don't know if they will work for me, but I will try them as I am able.
