Best herbalists are local, do foraging and distilling themselves. In EO business there are a lot of scams (esp. all pyramid schemes like Young Living). Just buy from oldest known companies that are 100% pure, undiluted, 100% organic or wild-crafted AND with full chromatographic analyses available and steam distillation methods.
Here's one good herbalist to get you started (have used them, product quality is high):
Instead of looking for chemical pain relief, simply adjust your perception of what pain is, and learn to value it as a necessary and useful motivating force.
Most ancient religions are about medicine if you study it deep enough.
Where do you think alcohol gets the name "spirits" from. It goes back to shamanism and hunter gatherers actually.
Mead is a fermented honey beer that dates back to PREHISTORIC times. They drank it to stay healthy and survive.
It was known that citrus helped cure scurvy. The etrog (ancient citrus) is a holy symbol you will find alongside menorah's and stuff in the Jewish faith.
Traditional/ancient Indian cuisine still contains the knowledge. Herbs and spices are MEDICINE they added to food. It wasn't just for flavor. They contain potent vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Their fresh spices with oils are much better than what we get in the supermarket, dried out preserved crap (although still tastes good and has some benefits).
Real medicine: Herbs and spices.
Divine medicine: Mushrooms, cannabis, peyote, ephedra (caffeine), cacao (caffeine, alcohol), wine (antioxidant, alcohol), blue lotus, syrian rue, etc.
We obtained our consciousness by sharing information about medicine. Both the virtues and poisonous aspects had to be taught to others, or else everyone would have died by eating the wrong things.
That's right. A seemingly unconscious entity (plants) taught us how to be conscious. Somehow they contain the chemicals we need. Our body and mind are modeled off what they offer. We even have DMT in our brain. It's also in plants. Are you paying attention yet?
Consciousness happens on a level we still don't seem to understand, yet here we are cranking out robots to replace ourselves thinking it's so great and we need to keep up with machines.
But we already have machines. Biological machines, everywhere, and they are superb. Virus, bacteria, single celled organisms like plankton, etc. Actually they are a perfect fit for Earth because they spent billions of years adapting. The common housefly still has reaction and flight control capabilities way beyond the league of our best aviation. They do it with hardly any mass, hardly any brain at all. And they achieved that millions of years before we ever existed. People always ask about aliens... The aliens are everywhere. Look at a fly under a microscope and actually take a minute to critically think about it.
Herbals and essential oils have painkillers, antioxidants, Antivirals, antibiotics, antifungals and antiparasitics and more.
Get a good book, study them and find a good source.

Your injuries are telling you to warn the young not to disrespect their bodies.
Sorry you're wrecked. Hang in there, bud. You're one of the good ones.

Look up the old Merck medical manual. Started in 1899. I don't remember if they updated it every year, but there's at atleast a few before 1913.
When I was researching turpentine I went through them all. It's interesting to see how they changed over time.
