Pain can be experienced as a result of old age, physical
illness, extensive exercise, overwork, heavy lifting,
strained muscles or broken bones. Pain triggers a region of
the brain known as the lateral occipital complex, reducing
a person's ability to concentrate and accurately recognize
images, i.e. our ability to think and perceive properly.
Pain also interferes with our ability to cope with life
emotionally, e.g. sadness, irritation and perhaps
depression and hopelessness. Supermarkets and pharmacies
have aisles and aisles of pills, powders and bandages to
help with pain relief. Some common pain relief medication
can cause mild side effects like drowsiness or nausea.
Other pain relief medications are prescribed and can have
even more serious side effects. Drugs like vicodin and
percocet are prescription, heavy duty narcotic pain relief
pills that are addictive and dangerous if not taken
carefully. New studies suggest those drugs that block pain
could also be stimulating receptors that cause pain as well.
A safer option for society's pain relief is the variety of
all natural products. These all natural products aid in
pain relief for muscle and joint pain, as well as relax the
body for a general improvement of the body and soul. Some
examples of natural pain relief products are vitamins,
supplements, herbs, ointments, creams and even bath
formulas to reduce inflammation
Both glucosamine and chondroiton are a nutritional approach
to maintaining the fluids needed to lubricate joints and
cartilage. . Glucosamine is an amino found in the body that
stimulates growth of new cartilage and can also help to
reduce joint pain. People using glucosamine experienced as
much pain relief as those taking over-the-counter
medications. Antioxidants such as glutathione can help
tissue recover from inflammation. The antioxidant
acetyl-cystine, a precursor to glutathione, can reduce pain
from nerve damage. There are widely known natural and
herbal remedies for pain relief. These include varying
amounts and combinations of "Devil's Claw", Willow Bark,
Boswellia, Camomile, Bromelain, Oil of Oregano, Cayenne
Pepper, Nettle leaf, St. John's Wort, arnica gel, celadrin,
hyaluronic acid, collagen, msm and natural pain relief
formulas to reduce neuropathic pain.
Bromelain is particularly useful for reducing muscle and
tissue inflammation and as a digestive aid. Supplements are
made from enzymes found in the pineapple stem. Bromelain is
believed to be an effective blood thinner and
anti-inflammatory that works by breaking down fibrin, a
blood-clotting protein that can interfere with good
circulation and stop tissues from releasing used material
and toxins properly. Bromelain also blocks the production
of compounds that can cause swelling and pain. When
inflammation is reduced, blood can move more easily to a
traumatized area, Bomelain can help reduce muscle and joint
pain, reduce swelling, bruising, redness and drain excess
fluid from the injured area.
Sleep disturbance is one of the most common experiences for
people with chronic pain. It may not always be that the
pain itself prevents a good night's sleep. Some studies
suggest that poor sleep makes the pain worse. In fact, one
study in healthy men found they grew more sensitive to
painful stimuli when deprived of sleep. There are many
natural sleep aids available to facilitate a good night's
sleep that do not carry the risk of morning after
drowsiness, dependence, or impaired thinking or physical
ability.
As mentioned earlier, pain can also interfere with one's
ability to cope emotionally, concentrate, and perceive
properly. Pain may arouse fear, sadness, irritation,
moderate depression and decrease one's ability to give and
hold attention. There are a wide variety of natural
supplements and formulas to help increase oxygen and
serotonin to our brain to help us remain calm and alert.
These natural supplements include may also be pain
relieving as well as mood enhancing at the same time e.g.
St. John's Wort, acytl-cystine, and other antioxidants and
amino acids that improve general circulation and promote
healing as well as enhancing brain function.
Hydrotherapy, i.e. the use of water for relieving stress,
tension, and muscle aches, is an ancient and widely used
form of natural pain relief. There are natural elements
that can be added to our warm, soaking baths to increase
water's natural ability to relieve pain. There are also
many aromatherapy bath products, e.g. sea salts, minerals,
and oils, that not only help with pain relief but also
provide therapeutic aromas that help soothe our emotional
well being and emotional ability to cope with pain.
There are many topical and ingestion natural supplements
and formulas available to help us relieve and cope with
pain. These natural substances do not present a risk of
harmful or unwanted side effects e.g. dependence,
drowsiness, pain increase, etc., as do some prescription
synthetic drugs. Natural pain relief supplements can
actually help eliminate the source and cause of pain, i.e.
aid healing, as well as reducing the feeling and
experience of pain. Often natural pain relief supplements
provide additional benefits, beyond pain relief, for
improving our overall health in general.
