Relief From Pain With Natural Remedies; Avoid the Side Affects




There are always natural remedies that are able to give you relief from pain. What is the pain really does not have it function? I'm sure most people at least once in their lives they put hands on the hot surface, and due to the pain they felt that you were able to pull their hands from the hot spot is probably faster than they have laid him there, to prevent serious injury. Seen from this angle the pain can be beneficial.


But in most cases the pain is something that all of us would rather avoid. Pain is probably the most uncomfortable feeling there and if we get too much we simply can not endure. Pain is a feeling you can get in any part of your body, such as muscle aches, headaches, nerve pain and multiple chronic pain such as chronic back pain and arthritis.


Today you can buy various over-the-counter and prescribed medications that provide relief from pain. The problem with these drugs are their side effects can range from minor to severe and can even be lethal. Some drugs are so dangerous and pharmacy markets were pulled from their shelves. A drug called Vioxx for arthritis not so long ago have been withdrawn because they said that they have the potential to double the risk of stroke and heart attack. Other innocent over-the-counter painkillers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen can cause liver damage and bleeding if used long enough.


Are there alternative medications that may provide relief from pain, but the lack of serious side effects listed above? Fortunately the answer is 'yes'. There are herbs that are homeopathic and natural remedies have a long history of use as well as pain. What natural remedies are talking about? Here are some good painkillers:


chrysanthemum


Feverfew has been used for hundreds of years and works for headaches, migraines, and pain throughout the body.


Bromelain


Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples, and it is well known as a means to reduce the pain a lot. It is assumed that scientists reason this drug can reduce pain is to break down proteins in the blood, thus suppressing pain causing inflammation. Bromelain is considered safe and without side effects. The recommended dose was 200 to 400 milligrams a day when you have pain.


Arnica


Arnica is used by homeopaths to treat swelling and bruising.


Boswellia


Boswellia serrata is a drug used for hundreds of years in traditional Indian Ayurvedic medicine and has been clinically proven to relieve arthritis symptoms. Boswellia can be even more effective than medication over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen to reduce inflammation. This herb contains acid, which seems to block the enzyme that generates inflammatory chemicals. According to Holly Phaneuf, PhD, University of Utah, these plants can be effective for pain caused by osteoarthritis which is a fairly common condition among people over 40 years. It is also proven to work well against asthma, which is often associated with inflammation. The recommended dose is 450-1200 mg per day when it is necessary to get relief from pain.
