Joel Einhorn's concoctions helped him get back on track

Amateur triathlete Joel Einhorn suffered a brain injury after crashing his bike in 2008. He couldn't sleep for two days, nor close his eyes without spinning, says Gordy Megroz on Bloomberg. Then, two weeks later, he met an Ayurvedic doctor at an Indian restaurant, who recommended herbal remedies. His head began to clear, and after three months of taking the herbs, he was swimming, running and biking again. The treatments "were good for stamina, endurance, anti-inflammation, and recovery", says Einhorn.
