Injuries, Inflammation
Relief from pain is wanted whether it is chronic pain, pain from an injury or aches and pains that come and go like headaches, or sore muscles. A lot of pain stems from inflammation, which is a way the body’s immune system responds to harm in order to being healing. There are two types of inflammation: acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is when the body sends more blood to the injured area sometimes causing swelling, redness, heat and pain. Chronic inflammation is when the body has “too much” immune response or it goes on for too long. This actually will damage the body instead of help heal it, and can lead to other more serious health conditions.
Conventional pain relieving medication may not always work for everyone. Strong pain medications can be addictive, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) often can cause damage to the body after long term use. Luckily, there are safe and natural alternatives that will effectively help to reduce pain and inflammation, regardless of the cause.
Ginger, turmeric and holy basil can be found individually or in a natural blend supplement to help with pain relief because they all possess anti-inflammatory properties. Natural treatments for swelling due to surgery or injury help to reduce pain. Arnica is an herb that is often used in the form of an ointment. A small amount may be rubbed onto the painful area to help ease and relieve pain of muscles or nerves, and conditions like tendonitis. These creams can also help to reduce swelling and discoloration from bruises. Another ointment that My Natural Market suggests is the Cayenne Heat Ointment which is both preventative and therapeutic. This pain reliever also reduces inflammation and improves blood flow, and stimulates the regeneration and growth of tissues.
Other natural ingredients that promote healthy immune response include serrapeptase, Chinese Skullcap, noni and shark cartilage. |
