Too many painkillers can really cause damage to our body. So, if the pain is
mild to moderate, we should know that nature has provided us with quite a
number of natural painkillers. These foods are natural remedies that
can be used to alleviate many types of pain.
Muscle Pain – Ginger
Regular consumption of ginger could reduce chronic muscle and joint pain,
as well as swelling and stiffness. A teaspoon of dried ginger or two
teaspoons of fresh ginger every day will help.
Toothaches – Cloves
Powdered cloves are a home remedy for toothaches and gingivitis. It is an organic
compound called eugenol – a powerful natural anaesthetic. Quarter teaspoon every day
helps to keep the heart healthy, and it also aids in stabilizing blood-sugar levels
and even starts lowering cholesterol levels.
Acid Reflux – Apple Cider Vinegar
Heartburn can be stopped with apple cider vinegar. The active ingredients in
the vinegar that treat reflux are malic acid and tartaric acid, which quicken digestion and
helps the body break down fats and proteins. Faster digestion means fewer chances for
the stomach to overflow with acids, causing the reflux. Add just a tablespoon of
apple cider vinegar to a cup of water before every meal can prevent acid reflux within 24 hours.
Earache – Garlic
Garlic possesses powerful anti-inflammatory qualities. Applying two drops of
warm garlic oil into the ear can cure an ear infection in five days. Garlic contains minerals
such as selenium, germanium and sulphur, which are all very toxic to most kinds of bacteria.
To make garlic oil, slowly cook (do not boil) three garlic cloves in half a cup of olive oil
for two minutes. Filter the oil and use it. The oil can keep for up to two weeks in the fridge.
Headaches and join pains – Cherries
Daily consumption of a bowl of cherries is highly beneficial for people who suffer
from headaches and various joint inflammations. Anthocyanin is the pigment that gives
cherries their bright red colour. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory, ten times more
powerful than ibuprofen or aspirin. Anthocyanin actively paralyzes the enzymes that cause
tissue inflammation, making cherries the perfect treatment. Eat about 20 cherries every day.
Stomach-aches – Fish
Indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, enteritis – all of these can be treated by
eating fish. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish can actively reduce stomach cramping and
enteritis. The fatty acids aid in maintaining the general health of the digestive system
due to its anti-inflammatory properties. The fish richest in Omega-3 are salmon,
tuna, herring, mackerel, sardines, and trout.
PMS – Yogurt
Many women suffer from PMS-related pain before and during their periods.
The reason for the pain is the nervous system's sensitivity to the changes in
estrogen and progesterone levels. Eating two servings of yogurt daily can reduce
the intensity of PMS pain. Yogurt is rich in calcium, a mineral that naturally soothes
the nervous system, thus preventing painful symptoms despite the hormonal changes.
Chronic Pains – Turmeric
Turmeric has been found to be three times more powerful than ibuprofen, aspirin, and
naproxen. Turmeric can heal up to 50% of people suffering from arthritis and fibromyalgia.
The active ingredient in turmeric – cur cumin, paralyzes the enzyme that causes serial pain.
A quarter teaspoon of turmeric every day will reduce chronic pain considerably.
Endometriosis – Oats
When the tissue that normally grows inside the uterus, grows outside the uterus,
can cause a severe and painful inflammation that drags on long after the end of the period.
An oats-rich diet can reduce up to 60% of the pain. The reason is that oats don't
contain gluten, which can induce inflammation in many women.
Ingrown Toenails and Toothaches – Salt
An ingrown toenail is a common ailment that affects millions of people around the
world. It can easily be treated by using salt-water. Soaking feet in salt water can
heal ingrown-related infections in just four days. Salt is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
Add just a teaspoon to a cup of warm water, and then add it to the foot bath.
Use twice a day until the infection is gone. Additionally, gargling with salt water
treats and prevents gingivitis and throat infection.
Indigestion – Pineapple
Pineapples are rich in protein-breaking enzymes. These enzymes help the body with
the digestion processes, speeding it up and reducing stomach pains that come from
gas build-ups. One cup of fresh pineapple every day can treat pain caused by gas.
Muscle Pains – Mint
Cramped muscles can be painful for months, especially if they originate from incorrect
posture or reoccurring overexertion. A hot bath with ten drops of mint oil, three times a week,
can be very effective. The hot water helps relax and loosen the muscles while the mint
oil soothes the aching nervous system. Such treatment will also help
reduce the frequency of future pain.
Backaches – Grapes
One cup of fresh grapes per day can help improve blood flow to the damaged tissue
in the back, sometimes within as little as three hours. The spine is highly dependent on
the nutrients and oxygen in the blood, making eating grapes a highly beneficial act.
Injury-Related Pains – Water
Water can ease pain from injuries. When body tissue is damaged, it produces a chemical
compound called histamine, which causes pain. Water dilutes the amounts of histamine in
the blood, thus effectively reducing the level of pain. Water is also essential for the health of
the cartilage tissue between our bones, as well as lubricating our joints and the soft
tissue in our spine. A well-hydrated body is a well-lubricated machine, which prevents
joint pains. Doctors recommend drinking 8 cups of water per day.
Sinus Pain – Horseradish
Sinusitis is a chronic disease that affects many people. It is effectively a state of
infection of the cavities in the skull. Sinusitis causes severe headaches, face pains and
can even hinder breathing. Horseradish can increase the blood flow to the sinuses,
decongesting them and draining any obstructions that may cause the infection. Eat a
teaspoon of horseradish every day until your symptoms are gone.
Oral Infections – Honey
Treat mouth sores, cold sores and other oral infections with honey. Honey
contains anti-inflammatory enzymes that destroy viruses and speed up the
healing process. To effectively treat such sores, apply unpasteurized honey directly
onto the wounds four times a day. The healing process will take 43% less time
compared to OTC ointments and creams.
Chest Pains – Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds contain phytoestrogen, a compound that prevents changes in estrogen levels
that cause pain. Add three tablespoons of flaxseeds to your daily diet.
This should help reduce the pain.
Migraines – Coffee
People suffering from chronic headaches or migraines can benefit from drinking
coffee. Caffeine improves the stomach lining's ability to absorb medication,
increasing its effectiveness by up to 40%. If you're taking headache
medication – take it with a cup of coffee.
Cramped Muscles – Tomato Juice
Muscles tend to cramp when our bodies don't have enough potassium.
Diuretics or excessive sweating can cause potassium deficiency. Potassium is
a mineral that is essential to muscles' health. Drinking one cup of tomato juice
every day can help ease cramped muscles and prevent future occurrences,
thanks to the high levels of potassium in it.
