Horse tail tea can help you get rid of your back pain to a great extent. You may try. you should take anti inflammatory Herbs like Turmeric, Castor Oil or Yarrow essential oil.
Massage your back with lukewarm Castor oil.
Mix Yarrow essential oil with any base oil like Castor oil and heat it. Apply it twice a day on your back. this will relieve the inflammation of the back. The ideal remedy for your bulged back is Ashwagandha ( Withania Somnifera ).
Buy Ashwagandha Capsules from Himalaya . Take 1/2 capsule, observe the effects for 3 days. . Take 1/2 capsule every 2 days. If still, nothing happens, take half every day. You may increase the dose to 1 capsule every day. Try this regimen for a month. you will be benefited. We advise you to please consult your health care provider before consuming any Herb.

You may use the Horse tail grass. Other very effective herbs are Radish. Drink a shot of Radish juice everyday in the morning. 30 ml per day. Drink Cardamom tea every day for a month.
A herb called Saw Palmetto is very effective in curing this problem of yours. Mary, I would like to suggest you that you please read the side effects of the herb Saw Palmetto before taking it. Copy paste this link in your url : http://herbpathy.com/Uses-and-Benefits-of-Saw-Palmetto-Cid603 All the very best dear.
