I have had essential tremor for 25 yrs but it was only at age 62 that it really got bad and spread to my head shaking as well as my hands. I have researched extensively and just want to share that people are having great success with supplements containing the mushroom Lions mane. Some have taken it for memory and focus only to find that several months down the line it had cured their tremors. HOWEVER for some of us Lions Mane causes extreme insomnia (it did for me and I had to stop taking it after three days and my sleep is still affected a month later). It also causes very vivid dreams. Lions mane works for tremors as it contains substances that increase NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) in the brain and new neurons are made to bypass those that are faulty. Lions Mane is being researched for Parkinsons and Alzheimers. Sadly I cannot take it but I understand NADH or NAD also increases NGF as does heavy exercise and meditation. I do urge caution though. Most people have no side effects other than better memory and focus and eventually a decrease in tremor but sleep loss is no joke. Worth doing your own research down this line.
