One of the most famous lines from cult-classic, The Princess Bride, says, “life is pain. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.” Drug companies are a perfect example of this – but their tactics focus more on emphasizing that toxic chemicals and synthetic remedies are the only way to relieve discomfort. After all, what’s easier than popping a pill that instantly makes you feel better?
Yet a consequence of such a careless approach to health is an uninformed decision-making process when it comes to your overall well-being. Studies have proven that over-the-counter painkillers actually do more harm than good, with long-term consequences including an increased risk of heart attack and decreased fertility.
The strange thing about all of this is that painkillers are actually imitations of natural substances.
The good news, though, is that we have compiled a list of natural ways to relieve pain that do not carry any harmful side effects. (h/t to BioPrepper.com)
A discussion on natural alternatives to pain relief will not be complete without talking about acupuncture. This ancient art is slowly gaining popularity, even among conventional medical practitioners, because science proves its usefulness in treating various types of pain.
Traditional Chinese acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into different “acupoints.” These stimulate various areas of the body to release endorphins, the body’s natural pain-killing chemicals.
A typical acupuncture course includes six to 12 sessions performed over a three-month period.
