Today we’re going to talk about the sciatic nerve and why you might have sciatic nerve pain. Sciatic nerve pain is pain down the back of the leg, and it can go all the way down into the foot. 

There are two main reasons why you could have sciatica pain:

1. A structural problem
Where the low back curve is not there. 

2. An internal problem
There is something happening with the nerve itself. 

The internal cause of sciatic pain has to do with an imbalance of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, and omega 6 fatty acids are more inflammatory. We need both of these fats, but we need them in the right ratios. 

An imbalance of these fatty acids can:
1. Create a lot of inflammation and nerve pain. 
2. Affect the lipids around the nerves. 
3. Affect the sciatic nerve (the biggest nerve)

When omega 6 fatty acids (linoleic acid), or their byproducts become oxidized, it creates a massive inflammatory situation in the body. 

How to get rid of sciatic pain (or any nerve pain):
1. Decrease the vegetable oils you consume
2. Increase the omega 3 fatty acids you consume
3. Get gamma-linoleic acid (evening primrose oil or borage oil)
