Title: ways to relieve your pain


1
Ways to Relieve Pain Naturally
2
  • Many people with arthritis want to treat their
    joint pain without the expense and potential side
    effects of medications. There are several natural
    ways to decrease pain and improve day-to-day
    living. Try one or a combination of these
    approaches and see what works for you.

3
Eat more fiber
  • Research suggests that people who eat high-fiber
    diets have less osteoarthritis pain.6,7 Moreover,
    people who eat foods high in fiber produce lots
    of short-chain fatty acids, which can help foster
    a healthy balance of microbes in the digestive
    tract. An imbalance of microbesa condition
    called gut dysbiosisis associated with a higher
    risk of body-wide inflammation and inflammatory
    arthritic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis
    and ankylosing spondylitis

Warm-up aching joints
  • Applying heat to painful joints can ease your
    discomfort. It can increase blood flow to sore
    muscles, loosens stiff joints, and can distract
    the brain from pain. Try heat therapy using a
  • Hot water bottle
  • Gel-filled pad that can be heated in the
    microwave
  • Electric heating pad
  • Hot bath

5
Try turmeric
  • The turmeric root has been shown to have great
    anti-inflammatory properties and many people add
    turmeric powder to sauces, smoothies, or tea. But
    curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, only
    makes up about 3 of it, so experts often suggest
    that people take curcumin supplements in order to
    get an effective amount.
  • For many people, a daily curcumin supplement of
    200 mg to 1,000 mg is okay. However, check with
    your primary health provider before taking any
    supplement to make sure it wont interact with
    your current medications or put you at risk for
    other health conditions. Also, keep an eye out
    for supplements that contain preservatives or
    other additives, such as gluten, dairy, and soy.

Meditate
  • Meditation is a quick, simple, and free way to
    relax. One easy method choose a sound that is
    pleasing to you but has no particular meaning,
    sit or lie somewhere comfortable, close your
    eyes, and repeat the sound in your mind. You can
    also try guided meditation, which involves a
    source giving you suggestions to guide your
    meditative thoughts. Many phone apps, online
    videos, and DVDs offer guided meditation.
  • Start with a few minutes of meditation per
    session. You may gradually lengthen your daily
    meditation time to 10, 20, or even 30 minutes
