Natural Pain Relief Solutions

Natural remedies have been around since the dawn of time. Ancient cultures used herbalism, plants, food sources and even sunlight to help aid in pain relief. Within the struggles of the modern healthcare system, many people are searching for natural remedies to lessen pain and improve their quality of life.

Below is a list of natural pain relief solutions.

1- Heating Pad-   Just turn it on and place it where it hurts. Warm heat is a wonderful natural pain relief solution. (Be sure to rotate sites, make sure the temperature isn’t too hot and never fall asleep on your heating pad.)

2-Magnesium Oil- Be sure to contact your healthcare practitioner before starting this treatment, especially if you have kidney issues. But this oil is proven to soothe muscle spasms, calm anxiety and help treat insomnia. It is one of the most prominent natural remedies for restless leg syndrome when applied topically at bedtime to the legs. You can also use magnesium oil in a warm bath to soak up  its healing benefits.

9- Herbalism- With the help of an educated natural health practitioner, you may can find a natural remedy to treat a health issue or condition you are battling. There are thousands of herbal remedies to treat just about every ailment.  Do not just “google” herbal remedies and start taking them however, many have interactions with medications. Just because it is natural does not mean it will not cause side effects or have adverse effects. Consult a licensed healthcare practitioner or naturopath before starting any herbal medicine.

10- Meditation-  When you are in chronic pain, it is easy to get overwhelmed. It is scientifically proven that sleeplessness and anxiety can increase pain. Meditation may not cure your pain, but it may help you cope with it.  Being mindful about negative thoughts, anxiety and staying away from negative sources can help you stay mentally above the pain you are struggling with.  

When you are battling pain, be sure you are hydrating, eating well, resting and staying around positive influences. This is your life! You may not be in control of everything but you are in control of your choices, attitude and actions.

Do not start or stop any treatment, natural remedy or medication without first contacting your healthcare provider. The above suggestions are not intended to diagnose, treat or manage any condition.
