Whether it’s headache, heartburn, fatigue, back pain, or any other type of pain, you can greatly benefit from the healing and soothing effects of the following natural remedies:
Aloe Vera
Who says Aloe Vera is only good for your hair? Turns out, this wonder plant can effectively help you deal with cramps, heartburn, skin burn, mood swings, and even bad breath! Aloe contains slippery and slimy extract that has a soothing and wound-healing effect. To relieve external pain, break a small portion of its leaf to let the clear and thick sap come out. Just rub the sap on the affected area. It can also ease the discomfort and heat caused by sunburn. Not only that, did you know that scientists are currently studying the use of Aloe for cancer and blood diseases? Yes, that’s how wonderful this natural remedy is!
Cinnamon Powder
Sprinkle it on your coffee or bread for a magnificent, rich taste and aroma that will surely turn you on! But aside from its culinary benefits, cinnamon is fully packed with essential nutrients and compounds that can greatly improve your blood circulation, and even treat and prevent hypothermia! It also has anti-inflammatory properties which plays a significant role in pain reduction.
Ginger Powder
A healthy, delicious kitchen should not miss this aromatic, tasty and nutritious spice! Sometimes, pain is an indication that you have poor blood circulation. Ginger contains a substance that keeps your blood flowing on an even keel, which prevents migraine. It can be eaten raw, or added as in ingredient to your favourite dish! When used in tea, ginger is effective in relieving chronic inflammation and stiffness
Bath Crystals
Feeling stressed? Use mineral bath crystals or powdered kelp seaweed to take your bathing experience to the next level. Bath crystals have mood-enhancing effects that can greatly help you deal with pain and anxiety. Another thing, researchers found that bath salt can ease inflammation brought by rheumatoid arthritis, and unlike conventional drugs, have no alarming side effects!
Tea
Herbal teas are well-known for their medicinal properties, including pain relief, stronger immunity, and overall health improvement. Herbalists recommend peppermint, sage, ginger, garlic, clove and cardamom teas for pain reduction. Tea can also be used to treat sunburn! Tannin, which is contained in many types of tea, most especially black tea, is the reason behind this therapeutic effect. Fill a cup of warm water and let the tea bag soak until the water turn into a rich, dark colour. Leave it for several minutes or until the mixture cools down. Then, dip a soft cloth into the tea and dab it gently on your sunburn. Don’t wipe, let your skin absorb the mixture. Re-apply as often as necessary.
Turmeric
Aside from its distinct and flavourful taste, there’s another reason why you should make curry dishes your favourite! Turmeric, the key ingredient in curry, helps regulate the flow of digestive juices, allowing the food in the stomach to easily move along and prevent acid build-up. Other than being a powerful pain reliever, turmeric is a powerful body detoxifying agent!
