Brief Answer: Amla and many others Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX In case of neuropathy, you can try the herbal and non-herbal natural supplements. Among non-herbal supplements, vitamin E, glutamine and acetyl-L-carnitine are usually recommended. These are easily available over-the-counter at most pharmacies. Among herbal supplements, amla is shown in some studies to be effective in neuropathies especially diabetic neuropathy. I think it should work for chemo-induced neuropathy as well.

XXXXXXX Rasayana can also be used to strengthen the nervous system. Hope it helps. Dr Vaishalee
