7 Little Known Natural Pain Relievers, for Arthritis, Back Pain or Fibromyalgia
When you think pain relief, most people reach for the ibuprofen, or worse yet, the presc'+'ription medication.
But did you know there are hundreds of proven, natural pain relievers?
It's true, and many of them have not only been used for centuries, but many have also been clinically proven to work as well, and in some cases,
even better than presc'+'riptions.
So I wanted to share with you today 7 of these little known healing gems.
1. Proteolytic enzymes - have been proven to have a powerful anti-inflammatory effect and also boost cardiovascular, respiratory and immune function.
Unlike NSAID's which may give only temporary relief and do not fix the underlying cause of the problem, systemic enzymes work to reduce the inflammation and promote healing without any side effects.
Here are just a few examples...
A study published in the Journal of Medicine, Science, Sports and Exercise found that "proteolytic enzymes have therapeutic effects in the treatment of inflammation and soft tissue injuries."
Another study done by the Institute of Cancer Research in Vienna found that "a combination of proteolytic enzymes and herbs were effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis and reducing TGF-b which is known to be present in
the blood when there is cancer."
2. Bromelain - This special natural compound, which is extracted from pineapple, contains several proteolytic enzymes that have been shown to short-circuit multiple pain pathways in the body.
It has been studied extensively since it's discovery in 1957 and hundreds of studies have shown it to reduce inflammation, reduce and prevent swelling and remove waste and toxins from the blood.
For example, in another study, 77 patients taking 400mg/day of Bromelain
experienced significant reduction in pain and swelling.
3. Tumeric Extract - is taken from the dried root of the plant and it has been used to treat a wide range of ailments for thousands of years.
Studies have shown that it reduces inflammation by blocking both the COX-2
and 5-LOX enzymes which create pain. In addition, tumeric's antioxidant powers work to seek out and destroy free radicals in the body which contribute to pain and swelling.
A recent study done at the prestigous Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research Center
in New York found that Tumeric was more safe and precise than asprin in stopping inflammation by shutting down the COX2 enzyme responsible for pain. But Tumeric caused none of asprin's typical gastrointestinal irritation.
4. Papain - contains a wide range of proteolytic enzymes and works by breaking down proteins. In studies it has been shown to be effective in the treatment of numerous conditions such as diabetes, herpes, cancer and digestion issues like
bloating and chronic indigestion. Papain has also been shown to attack tumor cells and boost the immune system.
5. Boswellia Extract - One of the most widely used herbs in Indian medicine, it has been used for centuries by traditional Indian healers to reduce pain and
inflammation. Hundreds of studies have been done proving its effectiveness and in addition to being a powerful and safe, natural anti-inflammatory, Boswellia has also been shown to support healthy blood circulation.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study, 30 patients received 333mg, 3x a day of Boswelia. The group who received the Boswelia had a significant reduction in pain and swelling and experienced an increase in joint
mobility and flexibility as compared to the placebo group.
6. Rutin - Found naturally in a variety of plants and fruits, this flavanoid has been shown to have a strong anti-inflammatory effect due to its powerful anti-oxidant
activity.
7. Ginger Extract - Used for over 2,500 years in Asia, Ginger has been used to treat nausea and to reduce pain and inflammation. It works by decreasing the amount of prostaglandins, which are what cause you to feel pain.
These are just 7 of the 11 proven healers and pain relievers that make up Heal-n-Soothe. This all-natural formula works incredibly well and not just for back pain... people are reporting relief for all types of pains and conditions like:
And dozens of others. But what's really exciting is the fact that thousands of people
have been able to dump the harsh and dangerous medications for a safer solution.
Plus, many people are even reporting BETTER results than multiple different medications. So if you suffer from any type of ache or pain, I suggest you give this
stuff a shot - I'm sure you'll be happily surprised.
