7 Neuropathy Home Remedies: Which Actually Work?
Search "neuropathy home remedies" and you'll get dozens of suggestions — but which ones hold up, and which are mostly hype? In this breakdown, Dr. Fitz works through seven of the most common at-home approaches and sorts them by what the evidence actually supports: the ones worth your time, the ones that may offer comfort without changing much, and the ones that are largely oversold. The goal is to help you spend your effort where it's most likely to matter, rather than chasing every remedy online.

- Exercise and movement — the one that tends to be underrated
- Essential oils and topical "nerve" rubs — what to realistically expect
